Hi! I'm looking for a good swatch and/or description of the new NARS 413 BLKR eyeshadow.

It looks like a lighter version of Lhasa to me.

I was thinking the same thing....maybe closer to Ashes to Ashes?

I would love to see a swatch too!  Odd that there isn't one yet - it looks like a great color!

I'd love to see a swatch, although since I have both Lhasa and Ashes to Ashes, I don't know if it would be necessary. It looks like the midpoint between the two from the web site swatch.

Lhasa on left, Blkr on right

Similar in pot but different on skin. Lhasa is a much deeper and more purple, Blkr is lighter and a more grayed out purple

Would you say the blkr shade reads more taupe?  I'm trying to hard to resist it!

I just got my 413 blkr shadow today and i love it - the color pulls mostly a dirty lavender on me (nc15) - good pigmentation, I really like this one!

Thank you all for the swatches! It looks lovely. I prefer it to Lhasa to be honest.

 

If anyone's interested, TheBeautyLookBook compared (pictures and swatches) 413 BLKR eyeshadow with Lhasa, Notorious, Ashes to Ashes, Barbuda, and Chanel's Gris Exquis. :)

It kind of reminds me of MAC Illegal Cargo, except maybe a tinge more gray.

 

It looks so similar in the pan to Lhasa, but from the pic above they definitely look different enough to justify needing both!

Apparently the 413BLKR collection will see 2 additions exclusively for the Fashion Night Out 2012 event: a velvet gloss or matte lip pencil and an eyeshadow duo. :)

However, Space Odyssey nail polish, one of the items of the 2011 FNO ended up in the holiday 2011 collection. So we'll see.

 

 

 

 

Also, NARS will open a boutique on 8412 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, next to the Marc by Marc Jacobs store if I'm not mistaken. :)

I can't believe I couldn't find anything either.  I was sure someone would have gone to the shop and bought it.  Is it true that the duo is only available on the Nars site and the Bleecker Street store?  Maybe I will check it out.  Do you think the store might still have it?

Swatches of the duo!

 

 

 

You can find pictures of the duo, a look made with it, and a review here:

Esit: Other swatches, because it's always good to compare:

More swatches and a review from Karen at MUBB

The duo looks absolutely stunning, but I also have to say that it looks a LOT like Hourglass Exhibition. I don't think I can possibly justify having both, as much as I love the shades.

The Velvet Matte Lip Pencil is worth a backup. Period.

I should be getting a package from NARS tomorrow which will contain this eyeshadow duo (hopefully). Can't wait..)

I decided to skip the lippie.. I have enough of bright pink lippies already and will probably purchase more, but from MAC, as it's cheaper..

The duo is beautiful! How does the lighter shade compare to Lhasa?
