Advantages: lovely colors, good pigmentation, long-lasting, great packaging

Disadvantages: can't think of a single one!

Nars shadow, like the rest of the line, is impressive. First of all, i can't go without commenting on the packaging. Sleek and unique and *rubbery*, it's just so pretty and cool and fun. :) It also has a mirror, which i always appreciate. Of course, what really counts is inside. And what's inside is even more impressive. Nars colors are deep, rich, and true. They go on smoothly and are highly-pigmented, so you use less product with each application. All of the colors are worthwhile, with one caveat: the line of blacks-with-colored-sparkles (Night Flight, Night Fever, and Nightclubbing) look neat in the container, but are less thrilling when applied. Of course, the black base is dark and smooth, but the colored sparkles are all but invisible. I've found that the color is better applied with a sponge applicator than a brush (you lose what few sparkles there are when you brush it on). Also, you will see a bit more colored sparkle in these "night" colors if you apply it with a wet brush/applicator - applying it wet as a liner is a nice look. My favorite color is Night Fairy - similar only to the aforementioned night shades in name and shimmer - which is an utterly lovely sparkly lavender. Nars products are not cheap, but they are affordable and are well worth the money. Overall, spend freely at the Nars counter! You will not regret it!
