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.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my almost-three-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my kitty supermodel cat (Tabs).
