NARS Malacca Duochrome: Makeup Look
I was sent this beautiful eyeshadow by NARS called Malacca ($25). It’s a new-ish release that immediately reminded me of other brown/green/blue duochromes such as MAC Club, Urban Decay Lounge, MAC Blue Brown Pigment, MAC Deep Blue Green Pigment, Makeup Geek Insomnia Pigment, etc. Luckily, it’s not more of the same. Malacca actually has a cooler base that leans more towards taupe than it does towards a warm brown. So if you’ve found MAC’s Club, and others like it, to be too red for your liking then I suggest taking a look at Malacca.
1. Sleek Contour Kit in Medium 2. MAC Pro Longwear Foundation in NC30 3. Mary Kay Foundation Primer Sunscreen* 4. Rimmel ScandalEyes Kohl in Nude (waterline) 5. MAC Aqua Eyeshadow (inner corners) 6. Make Up For Ever #4 Eyeshadow (outer corners) 7. Illamasqua Intense Eyeshadow (crease) 8. NARS Malacca Eyeshadow* (lid) 9. MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty 10. Ben Nye Luxury Banana Powder 11. Mary Kay Lip Gloss in Au Naturel* 12. Milani Eyeshadow Primer 13. MAC Blanc Type Eyeshadow (browbone, not shown) 14. Illamasqua Gel Liner (not shown)
I adore how this eye makeup turned out! I really like how teal duochromes look with my skintone/eye color. I can’t wait to pair up Malacca with Make Up For Ever’s Holodiam Powder in 302 which is a trio-chrome (made up word) pigment I featured before on my blog.
Disclaimer: The Sleek Contour Kit was a gift from a blog swap, NARS Malacca was sent to me by the company as a gift (not in exchange of a review or compensation), the two * Mary Kay products were PR samples for past sponsored posts. Everything else was purchased by me.

13th Jul 2014 - 2:42 pmIllamasqua Intense and MAC Aqua are just so gorgeous! beautiful duochrome look; I love Club for the "subtle approach", but Malacca is beautiful. I think I probably could create a similar look with a pigmented light teal (Steamy?) patted on a dark base. Still though.. this is so pretty, I will have a hard time ridding myself of the lemmings. x

13th Jul 2014 - 3:16 pmI am always blown away by your eye looks, but this one is by far my favorite. Malacca is the perfect pop of shine in the sea of mattes.
