It’s day 2 of the NARS Multiple swatches: the pinks! Multiples are twist-up sticks of cream product that can be used on eyes, lips, and cheeks — and depending on color, might be highlighter, blush, or bronzer. Today’s shades are the blushy colors.
Again, I swatched first lightly, then heavily to best show color and level of shimmer/sparkle.
Orgasm is pink with gold sparkles. (There are really only two Multiples with bigger pieces of glitter/sparkle: Orgasm and Lamu.) Orgasm also feels slightly different from the other Multiples. Perhaps because of its sparkle, it has more slip — it feels like you could keep moving the product around longer. People who own more than one: can you confirm my observation? Or was I just using an especially new tester?
I LOVE Portofino. It’s a shimmery, warm, ruddy watermelon/apple shade. They’re not identical, but it reminds me of MAC’s Bite of an Apple powder blush. Riviera is a shimmery, cool (almost lilacked) pink. Maui is a subtly shimmery warm raspberry red pink. Malibu is a glowy, warm rosy brown.
For another (limited edition, sold only in a set) pink, check out the Angelika Multiple, part of the Tainted Love set.
Multiples are $39 each, and NARSCosmetics.com is currently offering free shipping at any price, no code required.
i already own angelika but its a little bit dark for me, i liked riviera a lot and i’m warm 20-25. would it look good on me? can you help me please?
thanks, eda xx
Portofino is easily my favorite multiple – it’s the perfect corally pink with subtle shimmer and it wakes up my NC35 face like no other cream blush – I keep this in my makeup bag at all times (Malibu/Portofino duo).
