GALAPAGOS! It's a bronzy-brown with gold and is amazing. I've been doing a smokey eye with it and it's stunning. I have brown eyes and normally go to green but this color is so amazing it even looks good on me! I'm sure it's crazy gorgeous on someone with blue eyes.

I have light blue eyes, too. Traditionally, browns are best to make them stand out, but I totally agree with the person who previously commented. I never would have thought of it, but deep plum / purple shades are excellent, too, as are dark greys. In NARS duos, I have Charade, which is a light mauve / dark plum duo, and Paris, which is a deep matte grey / silver duo. Both are wonderful at making blue eyes pop. I don't like any of NARS single shadow browns, but Brousse is another good duo (sable / black violet) that contains both deep brown AND purple. Good luck!

I would try thunderball (midnight blue/gray).

To make blue eyes stand out the most, u usually want to use the exact opposite clour-in ur case browns. But.....I think one of the most beautiflu versions of the smoky eye is purples, if u dont wanna go that bright u can always mix in some purply greys. So the best colour for u to get is by far STRADA, its awesome, to say the least- The real colour is way off from this swatch on the computer. It is the most beautiful purple, definatly deep enough to do a smokey eye, v. blendabe- and as a bonus is has a BEAUTIFUL gold sheen on top (which would really bring out the blue in ur eyes). The gold sheen is only visible with a heavier application, and doesnt show up when ul blend it out. But that only adds to the effect!!!! And the shade of purple has the slightest taupey grey tinge-so its tres classy. I dont think u really have to use any other shadow to make the smokey eye (just a vanilla base, and maybe a white-gold shimmer in the inside corner) The only colour of liner that works is jet black-do it thin, and rim ur eyes as well. U could always try a gray eyeliner to sofen the effect-but u gotta rim the insides- I promise, ul be the BELLE of the ball!!!!!!goodluck!

If you wanna make the pop use pink and red colors. If that sound weird just try, you'll me amazed (just use right shadow for your skin tone). I wear sometimes grey/blueish contacts and when I use this make up I hear compliments all day long.

Hi,

I love all the NARS purple shades - darks, lights, lavender - and also Tropic would be really fun.

If you're near a Sephora, go in and ask for help or even a makeover. I've been surprised by some of the consultant suggestions over the years that have turned out be unexpected and really effective. Sometimes they suggest things I'd never consider, and they're right. In fact, the Sephora staff introducted me to the Orgasm line, which I now love. I used to stray from peach colors and stayed more toward pink, but they showed me all that I was missing.

Hope this helps.

I would try Grenadine or Tropic.

Are you asking about eye shadows? I'll assume you are.... As a red head with green eyes, I find that if you use a seashell color as your highlighter under the brow and a brown shade in your crease, you can use a variety of colors on the lid. For instance, I used a pretty blue-green shadow with an eye pencil called black jade and boy did my eyes pop. Did this help?

Play around with warm colors - peach and apricot, olive and sage green, champagnes, golds, and coppers, maybe even a smoky turquoise that leans more toward green than blue. A rose or pink would probably work for you too, as long as it has warm undertones. Play play play, it's still the best part about "makeuping" :)

Hi,

This is a powder, although NARS makes a great cream shadow. I'm so pleased with both formulations.

Hope this helps.

This is powder, but the Nars cream shadow is awesome as well.

Powder. They also have another version that is cream but it is not any of these.

Hi,

I have brown eyes too and obsessed over which NARS shade to get. Here's my conclusions:

I really wanted to go with one of the gold infused NARS amethyst/violet/purple based shadows when I was previously trying to create a certain look because those shades make brown eyes pop. Violets/plums/purples are hot colors for summer and I was set on finding the right NARS shade. Night Rider (which is a soft purple with silver glitter) is perfect for evening versions of the look I wanted to create although I was really impressed with Night Fairy and Strada, both of which had gold in them in some form or other. If you're looking for a purple shade of shadow, check all three out - each is beautiful in its own right. There's also D. Gorgeous which is a matte dusty lilac, but that shade wasn't available the day I was trying to make my purchase. When I tried the tester D.Gorgeous looked so beautiful on my wrist and is perfect for daytime.

That said, I eventually ended up with Night Rider because I needed it right away. Night Rider which is beautifully pigmented. It applies so easily and looks wonderful with a violet liner. Night Rider can be used with or without a primer. It really doesn't need one unless you have some problems with your lids. It stays perfectly in place without using one. The color is rich and vibrant, and using it with just purple liner and black mascara this is a huge change from a smoky or smudged eye. The thing I've noticed, while I was trying this out, is that my eyes look a lot bigger and more open with this more simple look. Night Rider can be used wet or dry. I haven't tried it wet. It's fine just as it is. It has a nice feel to it, too, as compared to other shadows. I love this shadow. There's some really beautiful shades in this color family.

Hope this helps.

I have brown eyes as well, and the best colour for brown eyes is purple (u wanna do the opposite). I suggest-no Im tellin ya run dont walk, to the nearest Sephora and get STRADA- a beautiful shade of pruple with the most amazing gold sheen!!!! I promise its a hidden gem-definatly money well spent!!!!

I love Strada paired with the NARS duo Sugarland, which has two shades that can layer or accent the gorgeous golden sheen of Strada. I also like to layer NARS single cream shadows underneath their powder shadows. I have both Cosmic Girl and El Dorado. Of the two, Cosmic Girl underneath Strada seems to accentuate the gold more discreetly, while El Dorado gives a bronzed purple, at least on my skin. I also agree with Buenrosa; if you pat Strada on as opposed to sweeping it across the lids, it really keeps its in-the-pan purple-gold gorgeousness.

I use it in contrast with another color that is more rich- highlighting either just my crease or the small triagle inside my crease. It really brightens and opens your eye. This may not be the exact look you are looking for but I love it!

I have a good friend with beautiful yellow rimed green eyes (jealous) and she looks great with hints of purple in her eye shadow. as long as you blend it and dont go to crazy (unless you like that look) it can look natural and also make your eyes pop more.

If you're feeling a lttle daring, Daphne looks AMAZING with green eyes! Whether you use it as a liner on the lid and under eye or as a contour shade. It's quite the bold purple but it really brings out blue eyes and green eyes. Just a touch of it or make it smokey...you'll love it!!!! Apply a little at a time to build up to your desired effect. Also, Cairo is a beautiful, more subtle rosey bronze that looks great with green eyes.

Hi,

I was looking for a specific purple so spent a lot of time looking at NARS shadows recently including Night Fairy. Maybe this will help you choosing a purple shade. They're all beautiful.

I really wanted to go with one of the gold infused NARS amethyst/violet/purple based shadows when I was previously trying to create a certain look. I also looked at D.Gorgeous which is matte without gold. Violets/plums/purples are hot colors for summer and I was set on finding the right NARS shade. Night Rider (which is a soft purple with silver glitter) is perfect for evening versions of the look I wanted to create although I was really impressed with Night Fairy and Strada, both of which had gold in them in some form or other. If you're looking for a purple shade of shadow, check all three out - each is beautiful in its own right. There's also D. Gorgeous which you inquired about. It's a matte dusty lilac, but that shade wasn't available the day I was trying to make my purchase. When I tried the tester D.Gorgeous looked so beautiful on my wrist and is perfect for daytime. It did look lilac and wasn't in the least bit chalky.

That said, I eventually ended up with Night Rider because I needed it right away. Night Rider which is beautifully pigmented. It applies so easily and looks wonderful with a violet liner. Night Rider can be used with or without a primer. It really doesn't need one unless you have some problems with your lids. It stays perfectly in place without using one.

I have Night Fairy and it is like a lavender purple with a lot of glitter that falls on your cheeks.

yes

Yes!!! That's one of the many things I like about Nars. Every single comes with a mirror and every double colors come with mirrors.

Looks like it's not here, but it's still on the Nars website!

Corfu is a cream shadow, so look in that section! :)

I just had my makeup done at the NARS counter and they created a look to help me make my eyes stand out. Here is what they used: Alhambra eyeshdaow duo on my lid and brow bone, Lola single eyeshadow in my crease, mekongs (beautiful!!!) as dry eyeliner. Also their new lengthing mascara. My blue eyes were large and bright- I loved it!!!!

Probably Fez. I use it, and it makes my blue eyes look brighter.
im not completely sure about how it would look with the yellow though, my eyes are a bluey- grey.
