Advantages: applies and blends beautifully and are very pigmented

Disadvantages: pricey and not enough colours in my oppinion

Nars single eye shadows can be bought for £15.00 and are available at House of Fraser in their shops and online website, on hqhair.com and narscosmetics.co.uk.

This eye shadow comes in a black compact with a mirror in the top half and the Nars logo written in white on the compact lid. It looks sleek and classy, so I like the packaging a lot.

I first came across this brand of make up when I was recommended their blush and since I really liked them, I thought I would try out their eye shadows and see if it would be just as smooth and blendable as their blush.

This eye shadow lives up to my expectations and I really love how soft, pigmented and blend effortlessly. They're one of the smoothest and intensely coloured eye shadows I have ever come across. I'm in love with the formula, though I have 2 things I would like to mention before everyone goes out and spends fortunes on them...

I like the way they feel, apply and look and how easy they are to work with and create a ton of effects and looks with. You can use them as eye shadow, eye liner and even eye brow colour.
The cons I had to mention were the price; it's £15 for just one shade, which I find quite pricey compared to the Urban Decay and MAC shadows I get as these are 50% more expensive. Also, though their colour range is awesome and there are some very pretty colours there, I personally prefer loads of colours to choose from, especially bright, vibrant shades. I would love it if they could have a wider colour range with some unusual, bold colours.

Other than that, I'm very pleased with these shadows but have to limit myself to only getting one every couple of months or so because they're quite pricey.

Summary: would make a nice gift for designer make up addicts
