I maintain, along with others, that you MUST try them in person and don't rely on swatches! I got Violet Atom, and it's GORGEOUS!!! I am NC35, for reference, and this Multiple shows up just fine on my skin and is not sheer. I mean, yeah, if you post a review with a "one swipe" swatch (not going to mention any names), it's going to look sheer. ANYTHING WILL, unless you're posting warpaint swatches! Violet Atom is a lovely duo chrome as well, which was never mentioned, and doesn't translate into an online swatch. I love it on my lips….think of it as an amp-ed up MAC Pervette (except more violet toned, at least on me). I tried taking images with my iPhone but again the swatches don't translate the beauty of it! I shall try with my regular camera.
The shadows are NOT powdery and quite lovely as well. I got Outer Limits and plan to use it as a highlighter on my cheeks as well as eyes!

I do not think that multiples being sheer is a bad thing. I actually love them like that since I use them as highlighters. Some of them are pigmented enough that on my skin they look like a blush but most of them I use on top of blush or bronzer for highlight. Or even underneath

I went to the counter today and I actually loved them! Honestly, I started to doubt about T's and my sources' makeup skills. Well, on one hand, I'm not surprised T gave them bad reviews and grades because she always does to Nars products.
Anyway, I totally agreed what Shars said after I saw them in person. Eyeshadows were glitter and the textures were buttery and smooth, not chunky or crumble at all! In other words, none of the glitter fell out. I hate their glitter eyeshadows, but this time, I loved them! But I only got Outer Limits because of the pinky shade of Parallel Universe and I'm not a big fan of pinky eyeshadows.
And I also got Starscape and Violet Atom and I loved them too! Starscape wasn't powdery or chalky at all. It's neon pink, but it has some yellow undertone just like Shars said. But even if it's some yellow undertone, it's cool-toned pink. And Desire blush is darker and redder than it.
Lastly, Violet Atom was quite sheer and silvery-white rather than lavender but I liked it because it looked natural. It's smooth and buttery, not chunky at all!

Thanks! Starscape and Violet Atom are officially back on my list. Now I have to play the waiting game with Nordstrom.

Olympia is pinker and lighter whereas SN is muted peach with a hint of brown. SN is like muted and brownish version of Sex Appeal.

Lol, I've been ignoring this thread subscription. But all this talk has fortified my wish to see Starscape in person. ;_;
