NARS Persia Single Eyeshadow for Spring 2013

Mmmm do love the new NARS Persia Single Eyeshadow released with the NARS Spring 2013.

Do you think you can pull off this matte sunset shade?

NARS calls the shade a matte paprika. I think it’ll rock combined with other sunset shades like a buttery yellow or a cranberry…! I’m quite eager to test it out but a little worried about the matte formula.

I’ll review and swatch it soon.

Any cravings from NARS Spring 2013 for you?

Seems more a Summer shade than a Spring one.

P.S. How was your weekend? Happy Monday! Groan! I’m a bit tired today myself! Quite eager to watch the latest Girls episode on my Tivo, hopefully I have a second to do that late tonight. Anyone watch it? Must see the train wrekcs Hannah gets herself into this season. Best part of this season? Moar Andrew Rannells!!!!!!!!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    This is a pass. I’m pale & completely beige, and although my eyes are brown, they have grey undertones; because there is absolutely no warmth to my coloring, this would just look odd. As for NARS matte shadows, they can go one of two ways; while many are buttery & silky, others appear to be a bit patchy or chalky. The latter are meant to be blended into other shadows, and end up being extremely pigmented.

    I have some warm browns and eventually I end up giving them away. I don’t know why they look so horrible on me, but they just do.
    I love Girls. If I had switch lifes with a fictional horrible person, I think I’d choose Hannah. Yes, Darth Vader would be more exciting but I’m not putting all this pretty make up on just to cover it up with a black helmet �.� I especially like how I can watches scenes like the Marnie/Elijah this week and be all “Nononononostopitstopit” in my head but laugh at them at the same time.

    I’ll pass, but I’d love to see the looks that people come up with using this shadow.

    I feel like my makeup collection lacks a GOOD matte purple and orange. This excites me.

    As for Girls, that’s one of those TV shows I’ve been wanting to watch but didn’t really know how good it is. Is it good? Muse you need a chat room or something for me to ask you/talk about non-related makeup questions/things with you!

    • the Muse

      LOL I agree chat room would be all kinds of awesome ;-D We always have twitter…! and yes, girls is a train wreck, I can’t keep my eyes off it, SO good!

          • Alanna

          • the Muse

      MUFE #92 is an *amazing* matte purple; it’s so popular, too, that it’s often sold out & you have to keep an eye open. Also, Manic Panic has one, but you have to kind of track it down online (it’s called either Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade-I depotted mine…). NARS Daphne is really pretty, but it can be a bit finicky, otherwise it’s very pigmented. HTH

      • Cindy Ramirez

        Hey Amy thanks for the suggestions! I will def look into these colors! 😀 <3

  • BLee

    Yes, adding black, burgundy and a light yellow shimmer to hightlight it all. I do not have the Nars one but a color very close to it. Ill be looking for your swatch 😀

  • susannah

    not a chance can i pull this off! way too fair and pink – just not gonna happen

  • Celine

    I have a shade like this, and it pairs really well with a plum, makes it look like an actual sunset 🙂

  • Katherine

    I had never seen that show in your link. Those actors played that scene wonderfully! I’m going to have to check that one out thanks Muse!

    I’m very interested in Persia eyeshadow. I need to see a swatch online before I bite though. At my age I can’t wear a full on look with this type color but have to use it say as a bit of color with a brown smokey eye. I have to kind of translate it to something that is age appropriate for me now. I know that many women my age (51) wear whatever they want but given the type of functions and social activities I have to (yes I gotta, not much choice on that) go to I have to keep it more subtle.

    • the Muse

      my pleasure katherine it’s quite an odd little show ;-D it’s def a louder shade so I understand your wariness! I think it might look great sheerer out though with a hint of brown ;-D

  • Susanne

    I couldnt do it but im thinking this could also be a rocking blush for darker tones!
