A quick little back story for you all because after all every day is a school day, Sunday school if you will.
The NARS 413 BLKR collection is named as such as a nod to the NARS flagship boutique at 413 Bleecker Street in NYC’s West Village...oh how I wish to visit.
The newest product to join the 413 BLKR collection is a sheer burgundy multiple - NARS 413 BLKR The Multiple.
NARS 413 BLKR The Multiple is presented in exactly the same style as any of the other numerous Multiples currently available. The beauty of all NARS multiples is the texture, a light cream multi-purpose shade that can be used as a highlight blush, eye shade or lip shade depending on the multiple you purchase.
They apply so easily - I like to dab it on straight from the tube and blend for an quick glow
not to mention unlike some cream product they really do last the pace with each application wearing for at least 7 hours on my oily skin with ease.
NARS 413 BLKR has no official shade name but is simply listed as Burgundy which I will be the first to admit that based on appearance alone I was a little daunted by the shade but luckily it is sheer yet buildable
so even the deepest of skin tones can enjoy this berry red shade.
As I mentioned on some skin tones this may require a few layers to create the desired intensity of shade
but remains light in both texture and feel.
On my skin when blended in with my fingertips one quick application gives a dewy just went for a little jog flush of colour and glow. Yet on my lips it takes on a slightly lighter shade that leans more brown than anything else but that is because I have sheered it out to show just how diverse the shade can be but if a deeper shade is more your thing then you can apply without blending out for a true berry tone.
On the lips I do find it a little drying so for that reason I do recommend coupling it with either a slick of lip balm before or gloss afterwards.
You can also apply the Multiple to the eyes which with this shade is not really something I would personally do but I sure creative types could rustle up a beautiful look?
NARS 413 BLKR The Multiple* is exclusive to the NARS website within the UK - link £30
Omg!!!! Im loving the shade... Its beautiful xxx
ReplyDeletehope it is a product you can layer with out feeling heavy , cause this shade is wonderful but I can barely see it on your lips, so imagine in someone with more pigmented lips,
ReplyDeleteI am dissapointed I was really digging this shade when I saw the first promos
I have blended it out so it looks sheer, I wanted to show how diverse the product can be. I'll upload a full on swatch in two moments :)
DeleteGreat I will be wainting for the swatch, thanks :)
DeleteIt is now up :)
Deleteyes , great I can see a great difference
Deletethank you :)
I actually like that shade on. Looks very natural.
ReplyDeleteHmm.. I find multiples a bit overpriced to be honest. So I skip.

This reminds me of something I loved, lost and have been looking for ever since.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember when Urban Decay (we're talking... about ten years ago here) did those creamy blush/shadows in the tiny silver square tins? With a hinge lid? I had one of those in a very similar colour to this and it was.. basically my favourite product EVER, but it lasted me so long, that by the time I came round to repurchase they'd discontinued them I think. I was hartbroken cause it really was my favourite thing ever, I used it for everything- blush, lips, eyes, you name it. For anyone with colour concerns- I have pretty pale skin, with a warmish pinkish tone to it and this suited me PERFECTLY. It came out really natural and flattering on me wherever I put it.
It had a tiny gold sheen to it though, which maybe this doesn't, but the colour is pretty much identical and I guess it'll have a similar consistency too.
So they could have solved a lifelong problem here....
