All You Need is Nars: Eye & Cheek Palette

Nars does it again! A few weeks ago, I spotted and tried this fabulous Nars eye and cheek palette at SpaceN.K. apothecary in Brentwood. This go-anywhere compact has all you need for a day to night look and is perfect for travel. The shades are simply gorgeous and work well on all skin tones too. Included are four eyeshadows plus Orgasm Blush (a cult favorite), and Laguna Bronzer. Here's how to use it:

Step 1: Use a large blush brush and generously apply Laguna bronzer all over face. 

Apply bronzer all over face after using your favorite foundation and concealing under eye circles and blemishes. 

Step 2. Using a flat smaller brush, apply the sheer peach with gold pearl shade as a base and under the brow bone. 

Step 3. The boysenberry shade (aubergine) is infused with gold and  goes in the crease. Blend with the taupe brown to control color. 

Applying color in the crease of the eye.

Step 4. Apply Orgasm blush first to the apples of the cheeks. Then stroke up. 

Step 5. Use a thin flat top brush and apply the deep brown shade to line the eye. Tip: You can use to fill in and enhance your eyebrows too!

Step 6. Add the dark brown to the corners of the crease for a more dramatic look.

Get Your Bronze Glow On

​Sporting a sun-kissed glow is a great look for summer. Laura Mercier just launched their Matte Radiance Baked Powder and you can see by the before and after photos below how radiant it leaves the skin.

Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder, $36. Available in five shades. I used Bronze-03.

Bronzer has a matte finish and is buildable so you can customize your glow.​

A great complement to the bronzer is Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer ​with SPF 20, an editors favorite! ($43)

​I like to use the tinted moisturizer on top of the bronzer and then touch it up after!

Apply tinted moisturizer with finger tips and blend.​

Dont' forget the neck!

Best Tinted Brow Gel

I have always loved the products from brow expert Anastasia Soare and her fabulous store in Beverly Hills. I recently tried her fast drying brow gel with a tint of color.​ It gave my brows a much thicker, fuller appearance and also kept them in place all day!

Fill in brows with mascara-like brush. The color I used here is brunette.
