I know this isn't the thread for it, but does anyone have info on the nars contour powders?? I saw a picture of them using them during fashion week, and I was drooling! Can't find anything online though.

Ah thank you!! Nars posted it on their Instagram. I took a screenshot. I assumed those were the contour powders. Not sure though.

Those are single eyeshadows. They used 5 brownish shades (Blondie, Bali, Bengali, New York or Coconut Grove) to fill in the brows at the 3.1 Phillip Lim show.

Crappy mall lighting
Anguilla - left, a medium slight peach pink, Exumas - middle, apricot orange (not like I thought it was going to look - very orange) Laos - right, beautiful very slight terracota rose. Love this one! I was going to get it but they didn't get 3 of the shades in & this was one of them.
Siam - bottom, Beautiful slight pinked poppy - LOVE! Its being shipped to me.

I checked these out in Sephora today and came home with Exumas. I would agree with Elegant-One in that it was more orange than I expected, especially when swatched heavily and not blended. Once it's blended out, it does look like a very wearable apricot. I'm going to try it tomorrow.
As far as the other colors, Laos is very pretty but I skipped it. I have Love and Final Cut blushes from the Final Cut collection and IMO Laos appeared to be in the same color family. Anguila was a pretty pink. Siam was also very nice but I thought it might be a little too red for me. I don't recall the names of the two darkest shades, they were both bronzey, but I think they would be a little too dark for fair/light skin tones. The darkest one had a distinct orange tinge when I swatched it/blended it out.
Based on what I've seen so far, the pics online aren't really what they look like in person. Probably best to check them out before buying.

I wore Exumas today and am in love! Once you sheer it out on the cheeks, it's not orange at all. It's a gorgeous peach-apricot color (sorry....I'm not the best with describing colors). It was super easy to blend out with my fingers, looked natural, and lasted all day. I was never a fan of the multiples before but I am impressed with these.
I'll be stopping at Sephora tomorrow for Anguila, Siam and possibly Altai (sp) to contour with - these may look bright/dark in the tube but are very easy to get a sheer application.
On a different topic, has anyone tried the Na Pali multiple from the Spring collection? That caught my eye.
