When NARS recently announced the launch of their new Pro Palette, I was instantly giddy. Two sizes of empty magnetic palettes are available for you to fill with whatever shades you wish. It’s ideal for makeup artists, whose needs change daily. It’s great for travel, an amazing gift for the woman who has it all, or simply for those with a fondness for cosmetics like me.
I feel like I’ve been REALLY focused on eye makeup lately, so I quickly determined I would love to create the ultimate cheek palette, filled with some of my favorite NARS blush shades and enhanced with new colors I’ve never tried! NARS knocked me off of my feet, and sent me the blush collection of my childhood dreams to play with. I’m so pleased to share this major eye candy with you today!
NARS Pro Palette Review
I purchased a total of 12 NARS Blush shades and 2 Highlighting Blush Shades. To kick off my first review of the new Pro Palette, I narrowed down the selection to nine colors, which fit snugly in the small Pro Palette size as seen above ($14 empty). Each blush refill pan is $21. Refills are $9 less than a blush in its own case, so these refillable palettes are also a great way to save some money if you’re constantly replenishing NARS makeup! This palette is simple to use. Simply place a pan on the palette and a magnet holds it firmly in place. Slide it to your desired position, and you’re set! The palette has a finger indentation on the right hand side to safely remove pans without damaging your makeup. The entire concept is convenient, and a reusable pro palette reduces waste as well!
For this post, I chose to fill the small palette with the following individual NARS Blush shades, starting at the TOP, from left to right: Deep Throat, Outlaw, Orgasm, Torrid, Sin, and Angelika. The bottom row contains highlight colors and a neutral blush that can also double as a bronzer: Miss Liberty, Albatross, and Luster. It’s a great selection of shades including highlights, neutrals, apricots, pinks, corals, and raisin. I’m looking forward to sharing swatches with you in the future!
The NARS blush refills come in slender boxes, lovingly protected in individual clamshell containers. KEEP THE CLAMSHELLS! They are perfect for storing your makeup when you remove it from the palette.
Check it out! These blushes take up barely any space in their clamshells, and if you plan to buy only one palette you’ll want the freedom to mix and match what you’re using in your palette!
Retail NARS small Pro Palette is $14. A large Pro Palette is $18. Blushes retail for $21 each. I’m insanely in love with the concept, and happy that NARS is offering it to NARSissists everywhere! You’ll be reading more about the NARS Pro Palette in the future.
