NARS Vent Glacé Eyeshadow Duo

I was somewhat dubious of the Vent Glace (£24) duo from the Nars Fall collection, it looked like one of those combinations that could easily turn to frost, yet the more blog posts I saw of the duo, I couldn't withstand the call anymore.

The shades are described as a “platinum” and “silver smoke.”


On me its a light silver white with a shimmery, frosted finish and a shimmered dirty grey/sage (a hard to describe shade, but undeniably interesting).

I can't help but wish that the lighter shade was omitted and replaced with something a bit deeper to lend a bit of balance, as whilst the colours are pretty I feel it registers as too icy looking on my skin.

The pigmentation is good, and they feel soft and smooth, I do need a base to get these to last and not crease.
Ingredients:


I bought this from John Lewis

    Wow it looks nice! At first I thought it would be boring, but when I see your swatch it looks very pretty! Your eye looks very elegant too :)

      Thank you :) I do really like the sage side, I think the duo woks better using a darker colour in the crease though.

    Replica, I wish the duo had a little more contrast. The pigmentation looks really nice and it looks lovely on your lids.

      Yes Jacqueline, it could have been great I think if they have gone with dare I say a taupe shade instead of the white :) Glad you like the look :)

    I had the same worries that this palette might be too frosty/icy. I couldn't pass it up though, but have yet to try it out. It looks lovely on you! :)
