What the gurus are saying

The formula itself earns respect for staying put without flaking or fallout during wear, which matters for anyone frustrated by messy shadows. However, the shades require more building and blending than older NARS palettes to reach full color, and the collections lean toward safe, neutral tones rather than the bolder statements the brand once offered. That trade-off may suit those after a reliable, wearable palette for everyday or formal occasions, though some gurus feel the brand has lost its edge.

"I do find the formulas are quite nice. I don't know if there's been some kind of change in the formula, but they're not what they used to be. I feel like the eyeshadows are quite, you have to work to build them, whereas before they were quite pigmented."

"I'm going into a Nars eyeshadow palette that I have, this I think is like a limited edition palette it's the Clouded one, but I'm really after this shade here. It's just a nice cool toned, I'd say gold, is it possible for gold to be cool I don't know, but this is just a nice gold and it's not a warm gold."

"I really like the NARS palette because it doesn't fall out and flake all over the place."

"For the past three or four months I've just been using this eyeshadow palette from Nars that was gifted to me, and I really really like it, but a lot of the shades in that palette are a little bit too glittery for my preference."
