Nars Silent Night

During the Sephora Friends and Family Sale, I managed to get Cheyenne eyeshadow duo and I absolutely love it. That was the only thing that I made me feel like I got a good deal. That reminded me of a different Nars shadow that I also got for $10 , but felt the complete opposite, until recently.Nars Silent Night in the pan is so pretty just a bright yellowish gold that would look great on me. I got this when I was just starting out and didn't know much about makeup.

Maybe that the problem because I knew nothing about primers or dark bases. The problem with this as you can see are the big pieces of gold flecks that appear in random chunks. You can see it all around the rim of the eyeshadow cover and on parts of my finger. When applies without a base, this thing sucks, the yellow base color does not show up all all I got were random chunks of gold on my eye, with fallout all over my cheek. I cursed Nars and shoved this back into the always neglected pile.

I was throwing away some makeup and came across this again. Tried it over Tarte's bronze cream shadow and guess what, it looked decent.

My eye looks so tired but if I close them all the way, you can't see the color. Still not in love with this one but it gets a just okay rating. Not worth the $22 dollar price tag now. Honestly, I don't really see myself using this one a lot, but I think I may put on this color a lot during the holidays since I love golds and dark browns whenever I go out but this is going to be on rotation and won't take it into my everyday pile.
