Re: Post your favourite NARS combos!
I just wore NARS on my eyes. I started to take a pic this morning. I wish I had considering that I just found this thread.
Lid: Night Star
Crease: Lola Lola
Outer Corner: Night Breed
I told myself that this week I would wear NARS eyeshadows everyday. I don't know if I can stick to it though.

Re: Post your favourite NARS combos!
I've just discovered a HG summer lip color combo and had to share!
One Nars lacquer I've had that has continuously mocked me with it's presence is Caraibe. I just couldn't figure out why I spent $$ on it... it looks so pretty in the pot, but doesn't really do much alone on the lips. So I have been working on trying to discover a great look for it, hoping it would live up to Nars-like potential 
You all have GOT to try Caraibe over top of MAC Lovelorn.
It is the prettiest soft shade with punch to it for summer; natural but with a kick to it. I was really floored (and I don't get that excited by makeup LOL). I could see wearing it day or night.
Super pretty!  Trust me, try it out and let me know what you think! I am NW20 for reference

Re: Post your favourite NARS combos!
Galapagos is my favourite crease colour and it makes a great eyeliner as well. Its a deep chocolate velvet with gold sparkles through it. I like wearing Sugarland (goldpeach and goldenpink) with South Pacific (l ocean blue green and sky blue).
I like thier laquers over their matte velvet pencils. The pencils are meant to fill in the whole lip and they are long lasting but they really love to grip on to laquer and will last till you eat or remove them. Caribe, Chelsea Girls etc look good over the Belle De Jour Pencil.

Re: Post your favourite NARS combos!
Galapagos is very similar to the brown in the Surabaya duo...so I had to skip it eventhough it does look gorgeous in the pan.
I got Kilimanjaro and Alhambra today...
Any tips for using Kilimanjaro with another NARS duo?
