NARS L’Amour, Toujours L’Amour Eyeshadow Palette2

The new NARS NARSissist Cheek Studio Palette ($65) is an Sephora and Sephora.com exclusive cheek, bronze, and highlight palette that includes four exclusive blush shades as well as NARS’ popular Laguna Bronzing Powder and Paloma Contour Blush.

This is a multitasking demon that addresses both highlighting, contouring, and blush all in one. It’s a very tempting offering for makeup lovers that love blush, makeup lovers embracing the contouring and highlighting trend, or those of us that just love NARS Blush.
