    I got Habanera from a friend who said it looked like bruise on her…and I love it! There is a no brainer method that works pretty well: minty green on lid and plum on crease layered on top of the green. (Actually if I use the the plum alone, it does look like natural bruise on me as well.)

    I have seen another blogger used the green with the red from MAC MES mi’lady, it looks pretty stunning that way.

    I’m not sure…but I would love to play around with it and figure something out! Those colors are so unique and interesting.

    I *love* this duo! I like the minty green on the outer 2/3 of the lid (usually a pale pink or peachy beige on the inner third) and the charcoal plum on the lash line and the outer V. The colors work fantastically well together!

    ROTFL! How weird! I just happen to be wearing it today!! It’s one of the looks I get the most complements on! (From total strangers even!)

    I wear the mint/green part on the inner 1/2 of my lid, and the smoky purple on the outer half and into the crease! Gorgeous!

    Gorgeous. This is one of the duos I always drool over when checking out the NARS website…(I love looking at makeup online and wishing it were mine – a girl can dream right?) There’s a look in the “Look” section on the website that was done with this duo, it’s gorgeous. Maybe you could try that out?

    I use it for an easy party look – the light shade on the inner part of the lid and the darker in the crease and outer V 🙂

      Hi Ditte,

      Pretty! Do you use liner or anything else with the look?

    Hi Karen! I have a similar duo [not from Nars, sigh] I agree with the other posters, and I’ll add my two cents: it also looks great with the green as a wash over the lid and the purple as a liner. Very quick and easy and looks fantastic! Have a nice day 🙂

    So I just got this and I am obsessed with it! I like to actually do something different than everyone else and I use the purple shade on the lid, do a inner corner highlight with the shimmery blue, and then put a dark blue cream base in my crease and pat urban decay’s goddess in, and then highlight my brow bone. I like using a dark brown liquid liner and doing a little tiny wing, and it’s the most fun look to try!
