NARS Tartar Eye Paint Just Might Be the Purrrfect Dark Purple

October 2nd, 2013 by Karen 15 Comments

Black cat liner goes with everrrrrything. 🙂 I love it for that.

So classic… So timeless…

But, uh, sometimes I just feel like switching things up. After all, woman (and makeup-loving dudes) cannot live on black liner alone.

That’s when NARS Eye Paint in Tartar ($25) comes in handy.

I love wearing this shimmery dark purple (it’s almost black) when I do cat eyes and feel like using something beyond basic black.

Oh, and get this: it has these tiny flecks of multi-colored micro-glitter that BAM! — suddenly appear of of nowhere when you buff it with a brush.

I like to apply one layer on my lids with a flat eyeshadow brush, then buff it out with a domed blending brush like the MAC 217.

It’s a quick, easy route to a pretty, purple smokey eye, and that extra micro-glitter gives it a little kick.

    I’m trying to limit my Eye Paint purchases… I have Iskandar, and Snake Eyes got an edge over the others I like. But you’ve just put Tartar back on the map. Gah!

    This really inspires me to do a deep purple cat eye >:) I think my Tarte Purple Gel Liner over a black one should work!

    Love this! I’m not a huge fan of black liner on myself, so this seems like a great alternative.

    It looks great on you!!! Now I want one for myself as I see it compliments your skintone well. I’m a shade darker than you. 🙂
