\nIf there’s one trend that has been going strong like a champ, and doesn’t seem to get any less popular in the next 10 years, it’s neutral palettes. Urban Decay<\/em> and Lorac<\/em> have been reigning king and queen when it comes to the ultimate neutral palette. But now NARS is giving it a go as well with their freshly launched NARSissist<\/strong> palette…

\nThe NARSissist<\/strong> palette comes in NARS’ signature matte Black, rubber-like finish. It’s sturdy and definitely feels like it can take a drop or three. I love the look of the rubber-like finish, it’s super unique and edgy. However, the finish gets dirty really easily. And the worst part is, it’s very hard to get the dirty stains off.<\/p>\n

\nThe palette contains 15 eyeshadows varying from soft highlights, glamorous shimmers and smokey darks. There’s a good mix in cool vs. warm-toned shadows, and mattes vs. shimmers. I actually really like how there’s such a wide spectrum of neutral shades. Although I do miss a good warm-toned dark Brown shadow.<\/p>\n

Although the majority of these eyeshadows are very pigmented and smooth, I do feel like the highlighting shades could’ve gotten a little bit more care. Especially the bottom 2 highlighting shades are a blotchy, un-pigmented mess. The other shadows are nothing but a divine, neutral dream.<\/p>\n

So, What\u2019s the verdict?<\/strong><\/span>
\nI really, really like this palette. It has the perfect mix of cool and warm-toned neutrals. And also a perfect mix of mattes vs. shimmers. The pigmentation and application of most of the shadows is absolutely fine. Although, the highlighting shades could’ve been a lot more pigmented, buttery and smooth. As most of you know I’m not a big fan of the Naked<\/em> palettes, but this one is great. I can definitely see myself using this on a daily basis. In a nutshell this is a one-stop-shop neutral palette.<\/p>\n
