I love iridescent colors! I love beautiful pinks, purples and blues, so I was very excited when I had the opportunity to try out the NARS Marie-Galante eyeshadow duo. Marie-Galante is officially described as an iridescent orchid and regal blue.
Where to Buy:
Sephora or NARS and Amazon for $34

The top section of each swatch is on bare skin. The bottom section of each swatch is on Meow Light Primer. I did my best to capture the gorgeous iridescence of these two shades.

Marie-Galante is named for the Caribbean Island in the Guadeloupean Archipelago. The NARS artists recommend it for an unexpected smoky eye. As others have mentioned, the finish is very similar to the Urban Decay Stardust shadows, which I like a lot!
The orchid is very sheer. It reminds me a bit of UD Asphyxia. It’s got some gorgeous blues sparkles to it. The blue side seems to be on a sheer black base and it has blue sparkles and from certain angles a blue-violet sheen.
Both of the colors in this duo are sheer. Compared to my other NARS eyeshadow duos, the pigmentation is lacking. However, you can compensate for that by using a colored base, such as Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean or another colored base. I do think that on a black colored base, this would make for a fun smoky eye.
NARS Marie-Galante is $34 for .14 oz and is available for purchase from Sephora, NARS or Amazon.com.
