Customer Reviews

  • Prompt delivery with a great value

    This is the second time I have bought this makeup for my wife... She loves it. It arrived on time and at a great price!

  • As good as it always has been

    I had a hard time finding this product ... Borghese isn't in as many dept. stores as it used to be, much to my dismay. This particular foundation had become my favorite - creamy but not so creamy that it caused a breakout. I'm old enough to need a somewhat heavier foundation but my skin is sensitive. Great coverage (not cake-y) and light feel.

NARS The Multiple

NARS The Multiple

NARS The Multiple

From NARS Cosmetics , NARS Face , Blush

Nars The Multiple is the original all-in-one, cream-to-powder, multi-purpose makeup stick. With fingertip application, The Multiple highlights, sculpts, and warms eyes, cheeks, lips, and body in an array of shades from sheer accents to mauve and bronze.

Customer Reviews

  • I was skeptical of using a cream stick, but this blends beautifully. I use it for cheek and eye color. It goes on light, but gives a nice healthy color with a little shimmer. Great item!

  • Generally, I prefer cream blush over powder blush or bronzer because I think it lasts longer. For some reason, though, there aren't many decent cream blush products on the market. The best product I've ever found is the Too Faced Flushed Blush stick, which unfortunately was discontinued and is becoming hard to find.

    In search of a substitute, I ventured into Sephora, where a sales associate recommended the Nars Multiple. I selected the Multiple in Maui, and although I'm pretty happy with it, I still prefer the Too Faced product. For one thing, although the Multiple can be used on eyelids, lips, and cheeks, I'm really only interested in it as a blush. I also prefer matte makeup, and the Maui Multiple is a bit too shimmery for my taste, even though the sales associate I spoke with said it was one of the less-shimmery shades. The product does glide on super smoothly and blends easily, but I don't think the color lasts as long as the Too Faced Flushed Blush stick. The Multiple is expensive, but I've had mine for a while now, and it this rate, it will probably last me the next 50 years, which justifies the high price.

    I may try the Multiple in another shade and hope for the best, but in the meantime, I'm still going to keep searching for a better cream blush product.

  • I have used Nars for years and have been happy with many of their products, this however is not one of them. The texture of the stick is very very dry which made the product go on very unevenly. I would not purchase this product again--surprised at the lack of quality.

    the present skin perfector

    the present formula was originally created for the medical market to give patients with bumpy or irregular skin a smoother skin surface. this product lays down a smoother layer of "second skin" that smoothes out skin irregularities and fine lines.

    the present is essentially a "clear makeup" for flawless skin. it is formulated to be used as a last step prior to any makeup to form an invisible barrier that "seals in" moisture for chronically dry skin and active ingredients from treatment products. it keeps out harmful environmental elements by acting like an invisible band-aid. it also contains lysozyme, a natural antimicrobial agent to keep skin radiantly "clear."

    you need this product if:

    you want to "pave the surface" of your skin for your foundation or powder

    you want a protective layer to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out

    you want to look 100% better, wearing 50% less makeup

    you enjoy an oil free moisturizer

    your skin is oily or prone to break-out

    you do a lot of air travel and need to "seal in" your moisturizer.

    Ingredients: water (agua), cyclomethicone, behenyl alcohol, dimethiconol, cetyl dimethicone, lysozyme, sodium citrate, peg-12 dimethicone, peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone, lavendula augustifolia (lavender) oil, propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, propylparaben.

    Customer Reviews

    • i used variety of diffent primers..

      and this one does make my skin feel minty-fresh as i put it on.

      but after 2mins(like the direction says) it drys out ;

      i whether recommend you M.A.C primer

    • Great product! It does not make my skin break-out AND after applying I don't need foundation! It gives your skin an air-brushed look, minimizes pores, evens skin tone, etc. Word of caution: Make sure your face is COMPLETELY dry and use a smaller amount than you think you need.

    Customer Reviews

    • I purchased this in hopes to smooth out the tiny pores on my nose.

      It works like magic! This time of year I am a self tanner. I put on my self tan first to a clean face. Wait for it to dry. Then I put on my Philosophy The Present Clear Makeup. You have wait two full minutes, then you can apply foundation if you like. I use a tinted moisturizer and follow with Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil.

      This stuff will fill in your pores and leave your face looking very smooth. Before I did not enjoy seeing my face up close because of those pores...you know what I am talking about, those things you see when you are in great lighting and looking into your compact! With this product you can not see them, I am amazed!!!

      I have had no adverse reactions to this product and I have been using it over a month now. My skin is normal to dry.

      I had tried a sample of this product before purchasing. When I finally ordered, I was a little saddened that Philosophy had removed the wonderful lavender-like fragrance. It has zero smell.

      I am a Product Junkie - I highly recommend this one!!! Don't forget to try their cleanser also, Purity Made Simple. It is the BOMB. Very mild and works fantastic.

    • I had seen them use this product on QVC and I was interested in it. Finally broke down and got it and I must say this product delivers! It made my very sensitive skin smooth out and just glow. My pores look so much smaller. The redness in my face is gone. For a quick out the door in a hurry look, this one is the best.

    • After reading the positive reviews of this primer, I was excited to try it out before my upcoming wedding. I used it as directed and liked the results. My make-up lasted all day without touch-ups. My skin was in good condition, but after about 2 weeks of daily use of this product, my chin broke out with large, swollen pimples that were deep under the surface. I stopped using the product and my chin has since cleared up. Is this a scientific study? No, but it is my experience. I may consider using it when I get married, but I will be trying other primers also.

  • Recommended in several books, as easy to use and the cream itself is much more flattering than powder. Great color.

  • And I've tried Stila, L'Oreal HIP, Revlon, a few others i forget. It goes on creamy and blends well. Wish I had tried it first and saved some money !

  • Nars is an awesome product. This Turkish Red creme blush is the best natural looking cheek color ever....and I work for a prestigious cosmetic line for a living...and it isn't Nars.

    Customer Reviews

    • When I bought this I hated it. It dried quickly and I just couldn't blend it well. Granted I was using my fingers. I bought the color flush which I do like. It's been a couple weeks and I like it a lot better. But you do really have to experiment with it in different ways to get a good application that looks good. I rub it in a lot on the apple of my cheeks, wait a few seconds and then use a round cosmetic sponge to blend. The reason I kinda use a lot is because over my makeup, it doesn't show up as much. This is no miracle product but it smells good!! I just think it is so much easier and quicker to apply the perfect color blush with a good powder brush. Instead I'm standing at the mirror, layering and layering and blending away. So it's taking me longer than I wish. But it is 28.00 and I will use it all.

    • I really like this blush. I almost always reach for my mineral blush, but this is a great option for days when I want to be more fresh-faced. It has to be applied with a light hand but looks very natural. Good price for the quantity!

    • This product is easy to apply, with the hand has the perfect color and texture to give the cheeks the look to be touched by the sun naturally ( not that pink glossy fake appearance of other products).

      Love it! Will recommend it to anyone!

      Last forever too, a little amount goes a long way!

    Customer Reviews

  • I've had this product for a while, but never really "put it to the test". I use it along my lashlines for eyeliner as opposed to eyeshadow. It had proved great for everyday use to prevent eyeliner and mascara meltdown. Last night I wore it underneath my eyeliner and mascara to a hot, sweaty, gross rock concert. By the end of the night, everything else was a mess, but my eyes still looked perfect! I swear by this stuff.

  • I tried this product after using a similar type product found on Amazon and it is fantastic. All you need is a little dab to get great results. Apply let dry, and use you shadows as you would in any other scenario. Just this time you may notice a difference in the way that the shadows appear more vibrant or like my son said to me while applying my makeup this morning....."Mommy you look like a clown" So now I have a whole new way of applying makeup and am very thankful for this product.

  • I've never really used primer before, but after hearing all the rave about Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer, I thought I'd try it out. Maybe I just have super oily skin, but sadly, it didn't help my eye makeup stay put any longer.

    • This is pretty good. It really does smoothe out your skin and hide pores before you put on foundation. It is a little orangey though, so I really don't use it by itself. The added sunscreen is great too.

    • This is, hands down, the best makeup I've ever used. I like my make up to be very light yet make me look a lot better than I do. This product erases pores, blends in all the little different colored spots and makes me look much younger than my 61 years.

    • After about a week there was a noticable change in my skin, it was soft and really looked healthy. People even commented. I use it under the supernatural powder and it is light and great. I do not have perfect skin, in fact I hate my pores, but this looks great!

    Customer Reviews

    • The color (R&R) is loud and a bit shocking, but when I am in the mood for a real pop of juice on my lips I reach for this product. The gloss smells like cherries and berries, very sweet and bubbly but it feels feather light and tastes a bit like fruits of summer, I love to wear it because it's never sticky, and I hardly feel that it's on - there's nothing worse than a coating of plastic on the lips.

      Apparently this has a whole cocktail of nutrients and goodies but I love how thin and airy it feels and even thought it doesn't last long at all - 1-2 hours it's a cinch to reapply. If this only came in nude colors then I would be purchasing even more, but the pinks and red in this line look fun and cheerful, a nice departure from the pale look I usually prefer - so when I want a loud, bright color I tend to use this one the most.

    • I'm a serious beauty junkie, but this is the first product review I've ever written. I used to use lip gloss all the time when I was younger, but when I hit 20 I noticed that my lips were getting really really dry and glosses just magnified their chapped look. But when I saw Tarte's adorable "Health Couture Set" I had to buy it for the other great products included and figured the gloss would just live in a drawer...WOW was I wrong... the Inside Out Gloss (in R&R) was my favorite and huge surprise!

      It is so smooth, NOT tacky or sticky at all, it has an amazing scent, and it seriously soothed my dry irritated lips like nothing else ever has! The color is sheer and juicy looking and my lips feel AMAZING!!!

      I LOVE this product... and the "skinvigorating" claim definitely has something to it! My lips look and feel so healthy!!

      The gloss container is sizeable and has a cute, modern look. It is on the expensive side, but I got it from Sephora in a $45 set that also included a mini Clean Slate, full-size cheek stain in Blissful (new color- peachy rose), full-size Lock&Roll in Quartz (silvery rose pink- also gorgeous), and full-size Lights Camera Lashes all in a big quilted purple makeup bag... so it was totally worth it.

      Having tried it, I would buy this gloss by itself as well. I can't tell you how good it feels, looks, and smells... Huge recommend, 5 stars!

    • I couldn't sleep one night so what do I do, beauty shop. I'm a total product junkie! QVC was airing a Tarte special, a set of three for $45- a great price as they retail for $21 each. Since I'm a huge Borba fan, I thought I'd give these a whirl.

      I do like these glosses. They are slightly tacky at first, but then melt into your lips, leaving the perfect amount of shine.

      The colors are all sheer and have subtle shimmer. Apple A Day looks intimidating, but goes on as a beautiful, hot pink flush. For a more natural glow, opt for either Liquid Sunshine: a nude shimmer, or Om, pale pink shimmer. The mild, pomegranate scent is refreshing. The brush has a full flocked applicator, although I would prefer a brush.

      Although, the average woman may ingest between 2 to 4 pounds of lipgloss in her life, Tarte claims 'it's the vitamin cocktail that will keep you coming back for more'. No I. In my humble opinion, these aren't worth the $21 price tag. Lots of lip glosses out there add unusual extracts and contain the same vitamins (in high concentrations). Just read the ingredients, folks. So if you are looking for vitamins, pop a pill, sip Borba or try the new Diet Coke, this isn't exactly an alternative. But if you are looking for subtle, gorgeous color with a hint of sexy sheen, try these.

    Fast drying and long lasting combination of a nail polish drier and topcoat all in one. To Dry For penetrates through all the layers of nail polish to dry faster leaving nails with a hard, protective, super shiny finish. .5oz.

    Customer Reviews

  • I am completely hooked on this product! You can buy the cheapest nail polish that wouldn't normally last a day, put two coats of To Dry For over it and it'll stay for a WEEK!! It's also great for decals and rhinestones. They don't come off till you take them off and then it isn't easy! I do a lot of garden work and used to break, train and show horses in California. I hate gloves and wear arficial nails. My polish was never an issue. To Dry For really is To Die For!!!!!!!

  • Slip into those shoes a little faster after your pedicure when you use the "To Dry For" polish-drying top coat. It works super fast and protects your manicure/pedicure to seal in all that work you just did. Unlike many top coats that seem to take longer to dry than the polish, this one works and leaves a shiny finish that is durable and especially shimmery.

    NARS Blush Orgasm

    From NARS Cosmetics , NARS Face , Blush

    Made with transparent pigments for a soft and sheer look. Imparts a natural, healthy glow for any skin tone and may be worn alone or layered together for more depth and intensity.

    Customer Reviews

  • I found this blush to be a great product, and the color (Orgasm) seems to blend with various clothing colors.

  • I purchased this blush after buying in to the TONS of positive reviews I read online -- that this was a universally flattering shade that just made skin glow.

    While it's a nice blush -- it lasted a long time and imparted great color on the brush and skin -- it was just a bit too brownish for me. I have very fair skin (as in hyper porcelain), but this would probably look beautiful on someone whose skin was darker.

    Next time I'm able to see the Nars line in person again, I'd love to try a different hue that flattered my skin a little better.

  • I use this on principle for the name!!! Honestly I get a blush similar to this from working out but when I have to skip a workout - this is perfect. I am brunette now but I used to be a blonde and unlike what the other reviewer said - It looks great on me either way. I imagine it looks knock out on redheads as well. Go for it!

    Customer Reviews

    • I tried this at a Sephora in NYC during a vacation and was AMAZED at how a powder could make my face look so pure and flawless. As soon as I got back home, I found a local Sephora near me and picked this up. It's worth every single penny. Not only does it look amazing, but it goes on your face so soft and gentle. It's pure magic. I LOVE this foundation and besides Bare Escentuals, I wouldn't want to put anything else on my face. If you want to look like you have absolutely gorgeous, flawless, poreless skin - buy this!

    • I started out using Bare Escentuals powder foundation and then switched to Philosophy's Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas spf15. This seems to give me a little more coverage than the other powder makeup brands. I have problem skin and some scarring, along with dark circles. So my main goal was to find a light powder foundation that felt good on the skin, but also gave me the coverage that I needed. This foundation comes packaged with a sponge as the applicator, which is why I think it gives better coverage. The powder itself feels really silky. The shades blend well onto the face. The staying power of this foundation is wonderful. I can put it on early in the morning and it is still where I put it in the evening with minimal touch-ups. And lets face it, all women do touch-ups whether they need it or not. The face takes on an airbrushed look. This, too, is another one of must haves. I haven't found anything else that measures up to this product and believe me...my makeup area looks like the makeup section at the local beauty store.

    • I am a girl who grew up without make up and without anyone to teach me about facial hygiene - so as a result I've got acne scars and redness that I need to cover up with make up. It took me a while before I discovered mineral make up and I took a chance, having tried everything else, and went for it.

      And I never will go back.

      I used Bare Escentuals for a while and before that Urban Decay - both worked marvelous. I tried this because I wanted something separate from B.E. and hadn't bought anymore U.D. and I heard glowing reviews about Philosophy's mineral make up.

      Whatever worked for them did not work for me. It made me looked caked and pasty and didn't exactly match my tone like the other two brands did beautifully. On top of that, it actually made me break out worse than any make up did before.

      So, try it out, you might love it. I sure as hell didn't.

  • I usually do not wear shimmer eyeshadow in the daytime, but this brand allows a bit of daytime shimmer. Everyone complimented how beautiful my hazel green eyes stood out against the green shadow and made my eyes "pop" which I always wanted to have happen. I will be buying Urban Decay eyeshadows from now on.

  • I have this in Midnight Cowboy and it's very pretty. It's very glittery so watch out! But I still wear it near every day. It brightens up my whole face. I have golden brown eyes and they look bright and pretty with this. My friend has green eyes and hers look dazzling as well. Very versatile! It's not so glittery that it's evening shadow if you keep the eyeliner to a minimum. I might not wear it to the office, but for everything else it's great! If you're having trouble keeping the glitter on your eyes instead of your face, here are two great tricks. One, eyeshadow primers are bogus (overpriced and useless). You know that awful cakey gross foundation you bought that you can't wear on your face but haven't thrown out? Well put some of that on your eyelids before the shadow. Then PRESS (do NOT rub) the shadow onto your lids with your finger. I highly recommend this!

  • Absolutely BEST, most intoxicating eyeshadow COLOR ever created. Just now discovering Urban Decay and their amazing colors , Highly recommend.

    Customer Reviews

  • I'm a makeup artist so as you can imagine I love makeup and search for the best of the best. I am a 31 year old woman that occasionally breaks out, but I am always left with a red/brown mark for a few weeks. This foundation is a lifesaver. After applying, I look flawless. People always compliment my skin (and I think, if you only knew what I'm hiding) You really don't need concealer, just tap on a second layer over the imperfection. I use my fingers in a quick downward sweeping motion and I set it with the loose translucent powder. Laura, you rock sister!

  • I love Laura Mercier products but this wasn't my favorite as I'm not sure I got the best color for me. I got Bamboo beige & wasn't as happy w/it as I am w/tinted moisturizer. It cakes a little I think as well.

  • Since Laura Mercier seems to be a respected name in cosmetics, I expected a lot more. The appearance was fine but I found the foundation very difficult to apply. I tried with a sponge, with my fingers and also with and without foundation primer and I found it difficult to apply smoothly. It took a lot longer than my regular foundation (L'Oreal) to apply and the end result looked basically the same~ for a lot more money. I will definitely not buy this or Laura Mercier's primer again. I usually use Bare Essentuals or Smashbox primers and this foundation was easier to apply with them but still not satisfactory.

    Customer Reviews

  • Gilda is a beautiful color - it works great with my skin (fair with yellow/olive undertones), but you only have to use a little bit. It looks a little scary in the compact - VERY bright orange/coral. But it's a really pretty color on my skin.

    I think this color would also work really well for darker complexions - you wouldn't have a problem with it not showing up.

    It works great with my brown, copper, bronze, and gold clothing, and looks FANTASTIC with Nars "Sandpiper" lip gloss.

    I'm a HUGE fan of Nars blush!

  • I would recommend avoiding the shades with glitter! I used to use Orgasm before I used it on my sister's cheeks for prom and all that glitter looked ridiculous!! I threw it away that very day. I am "white" but I have a warm yellow-toned almost "Asian" skintone and I have come to find that "Mata Hari" is the color my cheeks blush naturally. I think people with warm toned skin would normally pass a color like this up because it looks almost purple/pink in the pan. However, with the right application it looks really natural on. And by right application I mean very very little product b/c this blush is one of the most pigmented formulas I have ever encountered. It will last you a very long time!! For more cool toned skin I would recommend "Desire" (a more hot-pink color). Or, "Amour" if you are looking for more of a warm peachy pink cheek color. There are others, but those are the ones I know of without glitter.

  • I have medium toned skin and bought lovejoy. It has been wonderful. This is a very lightweight make-up so it feels like you are not wearing anything at all. The blush gives a very, very natural look. It doesn't stay on all day, but it makes me glow and feel beautiful.

    I would buy it again and recommend it.

    Customer Reviews

    • It's always been hard for me to find an eyeliner that goes on smoothly and delivers the perfect color. Before using this eyeliner, I could never find a product that went on this great. Other eyeliners go in chalky, rough, and dull. I love this product, except the color just doesn't stay. I believe that the fact that I'm a contact lens wearer, which makes my eyes watery. So if you have watery eyes or wear contacts, expect to re-apply often.

    • Not my favorite...I like Avon glimmer stick. Liner disappears during the day. The tiny bit of shadow (hidden in the middle) does not even show on my eyes.

    • I am hopeless when it comes to doing my eyeliner (can never get the line straight with pencils) so I had given up for years... until I found the Stila eyeliner/eyeshadow combo. It's so smooth which is great for sensitive skins and has the bonus sponge tip. The eyeshadow has a little sparkle which makes eyes look sexy. I never leave home without it now!

    • I am a big fan of silver eyeshadow and have tried many over the years. Then I found Stila's eyeshadow in Twilight and have not strayed since. It is the perfect shade of silver with just enough sparkle. You can use it for a daytime look or a dramatic night time look. I highly recommend it.

    • I went into a Sephora store to get color matched for night-look eyeshadow. I found it to be a tricky thing since my eyes are such a rare color--amber yellow. They hooked me up with Kitten, Sun, Charm, and Viola. But I've found that these colors are so versatile that you can use them for night and day looks. For night I just double up on the amount of each for a stunning effect. Sun is great all over the eye, Charm for the lower lid, Viola for the crease, and Kitten makes the perfect highlighter. These colors have a long stay ability too which makes them wonderful additions (and addictions) for the makeup lover OR the natural girl that needs a boost.

    • These colors are subtle, blend beautifully and the pan is generously sized. So if you find a favorite (mine is Bouquet, a subtle pink good for a base), you have something that lasts and lasts. The pan can go into a replaceable palette, and that's good for the environment. The size is large enough to conveniently use a brush. Many colors can be use wet for liners.

  • I just got this yesterday (I know I shouldn't review so soon) but I am having trouble putting it on. It doesn't really go on smoothly. It kinda just dries quickly. I use Kiehl's Blue Herbal moisturizer in the morning and even with that underneath, it wasn't going on smooth. I had a powder mineral foundation on in the store yesterday and I asked the girl to wipe off a lot of it so we could get the best shade. But I guess it wasn't all off so the Nude looked all right. But this morning with my bare skin, the Nude looked kinda too dark for me. I want to go back to the store with a clean face and try the lighter shade and see if that's better. But yes, my overall problem is the non-blendability. I hear the oil version is more "creamy" but I don't want to make my face break out. I will go back today and ask. But the coverage is really good!

  • If you are in a hurry - this is a pretty good product. It's a wee bit "tacky" when applying (it definitely doesn't go on as easy as an actual moisturizer). Also - it has that "sunblock smell" to it - which kind of annoys me - but may not bother the "normal" person - ha ha.

  • My skin is crazy. Sometimes it's oily like there is no tomorrow and sometimes it's super dry. I haven't really noticed if it correlates with the seasons or not, but either way, once i found Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer, my dreams came true. It offers just the perfect amount of coverage without making my skin oily. It's also spf 20, which probably isn't enough protection, but it's better than nothing. And like many of the other reviewers said, it saves you time. Moisturize and foundation in one. I normally go over certain spots with concealer, but it does wonders for my skin.

  • Have always hated pencil liners, yet any makeup in the form of a pencil. It needs sharpening and wastes product in the sharpener. These smudge pots have their pros and cons. Pros; staying power once applied and dried is amazing, easy to smudge before it dries, less waste of product in a pot, heck you can even use a q-tip like I do to apply (works as good as a brush if you master it), inky intensity is dark especially the black is really black not dark grey, pot lasts long time even if you apply everyday. Cons; after applying the product dries in a matter of five seconds so smudge upon application, keep that lid closed tight all times even during application to avoid product drying out thus can be hard to work with, with staying power comes hard to remove with standard soap and water, but you can use olive oil or eye makeup remover to help out. Still I give this product max stars, have cobalt blue and black. I hear blue liner is the new black but in my opinion a fun change! I recommend this liner just give it a try and practice applying with brush or q-tip.

  • NOTHING works as well as this. It lasts a very long time on your eyes, you won't even have to reapply if you go out in the evening after work. As long as you use a thin brush and follow your lash line the application is smooth and even. The reviewer who wrote that it didn't go on well must have been riding on a gravel road while applying! LOL. Enjoy!

  • I wear pretty heavy eye makeup on a daily basis. I love the Smudge Pots b/c you can apply them sparingly or an enhancement effect or lay it on thick for a more intense look. They have great consistency that's easy to manipulate and the color gets deeper the more you use. Be sure to let it dry, because they can smudge (in a bad way)
