Amy Karlson: Studio 54 for NARS Holiday Collection

press sample, affiliate links

The NARS Holiday collection is a limited edition collection inspired by the famed nightclub Studio 54. With sparkling and shimmering finishes in unexpected formulas, it’s a mesmerizing collection full of must-haves. Very 1970’s and over-the-top.

The Studio 54 for NARS Holiday Collection features provocative lipsticks, scintillating eye and cheek palettes, explicit mascara and even some exciting accessories. If you are into glitz, glitter and glamour, you will be all over this one. There are quite a few gift-able pieces, too.

Here is what has caught my eye from the NARS Holiday Collection this year.

Inferno Eyeshadow Palette
This eyeshadow palette take glitter to the max with its exclusive new glitter topper formula. The formula is an ultra fine blend of shimmer, glitter, and pearl reflect light for a sequin effect. It is simply stunning on the eye with everything from bonze to berry shades in the palette. I highly suggest locking the shades down with a shadow primer to guarantee little to no fallout. There are twelve shades that make up the palette in all; it is not for the shy.

Audacious Lipstick
here are three limited edition lipsticks in NARS’ bestselling shades. What makes these special is the glitter case that scream decadence at every angle. There is Mona, Carmen and Barbara which are Mahogany, Red and a Nude Rose, respectively.

All Access Powermatte Lip Pigment Set
I am obsessed with NARS’ Powermatte Lip Pigments so this set is a must for me. The set includes three best-sellers, in a stunning, red sequin makeup pouch. If I didn’t love these lippies so much, I might just go for the set just for the sequined pouch itself.

The set includes Powermatte Lip Pigments in American Woman, a Chestnut Rose, Fly Robin Fly, a Peachy Nude and Funkytown, a Red Orange.

VIP Room NARS Essentials Set
This is definitely an essentials set featuring a collection of six of NARS’ best-selling makeup products. The VIP room may be reminiscent of the Studio 54 era, but it is one Very Important Present with Climax Mascara, Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita and Dragon Girl, mini Multiple and mini Blush in Orgasm, mini Laguna Bronzing Powder, and sharpener. This set is for the ultimate NARSissist.

Softcore Afterglow Mini Blush & Balm Set
This limited edition mini set is the ultimate stocking stuffer. It includes a travel-size Afterglow Lip Balm and Blush. There are three shades to choose from, but mine is the iconic Orgasm set that pretty much looks great on everyone. There is also Dolce Vita and Torrid.

Past Curfew Travel Size Mascara & Eyeliner Set
This is another limited edition set that features two travel minis but this time its must-haves for the eyes. This set includes Climax Mascara and High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner in a great giftable box.

The Studio 54 for NARS Holiday Collection is available now at NARS Boutiques, narscosmetics.com, Sephora, Ulta and Nordstrom.
