Rich, aquatic and anchored in glamour. The NARS Spring 2014 Collection kicks off the season with provocative appeal leaving winter in the wake.

Eyes sizzle in gold lamé and iridescent smoky orchid, while cheeks glisten with a splash of shimmering rose peach. Gleaming cantaloupe for nails and a refreshingly glossy pout in guava and violet evoke a cool burning attitude with this fashion forward collection.

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Yes it’s 2014 and awards season has just started!  Last Sunday was the Golden Globes, which is thought of as a predictor to the Oscars.  I was just really interested in the fashion and makeup.  And waaaay before the show actually started, I was slayed, by Lupita Nyong’o!!  I thought that I was obsessed with Kerry Washington (I still love her), but this chick is flawless!!!!

When was the last time we saw a woman on the red carpet with a close cropped fade?? And that red dress??? The awards were over for me!  I cannot wait to see how her career unfolds!!

LOTD: Autumn/Fall inspired! Lots of bronzey/orangey goodness!

So I attended the launch of the NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection at the NARS boutique on Bleecker Street, and I was instantly drawn to the intense, saturated colours, especially for a holiday collection!  This limited edition collection features a new/special texture that appears in this collection only called Cinematic.  Actually it’s just they eye shadows and lipsticks, which allows them to be buttery smooth and highly pigmented at the same time.  NARS has amazing quality products to begin with but this just kicked the level up a few more notches.

Anyway, I don’t have a lot (or any as a matter of fact) copper-toned eye shadows, so I picked up this gorgeous colour Cambodia.

Cambodia Cinematic Eye Shadow by NARS

Swatch, Cambodia

Très riche!! A beautiful coppery, reddish brown colour!  Actually this texture reminds me of the previously released MAC Starflash texture.  Very finely milled, but pigmented and smooth.

So for this look, I decided to also combine my favourite eye shadow from the summer as well incorporating a little colour theory.

Here’s the look, that I previously posted on Instagram! Follow me here —-> NoireTropicalB
