While it’s easy to get swept up by pretty Fall makeup trends, NARS Cosmetics reminds us that having a stash of easy-to-wear basics is just as sweet. It’s an investment you definitely want to make before thinking about other extras.

If you’re new to makeup or don’t have a grounded collection quite yet, take a look at these NARS Fall Palettes next time you drop by Nordstroms. The value is exceptional and I can imagine you would get a great deal of use out of the colors.

Above is NARS ‘Only You’ Eye and Cheek Palette ($65 US) which is packaged in a compact zippered case for switching up your look quickly.

Choose from four pigmented eye shadows:
Alhambra, a metallic rose mist
Mekong, an espresso fused with gold
Eurydice, an electric aubergine
Pandora, a matte black

In addition, play up your cheeks with two blushes:
Hungry Heart, an iridescent gold ivory
Orgasm, a peachy pink with shimmer

If you love lipsticks and creamy blushes that blend impeccably into the skin, this NARS ‘Beautiful Life’ Lip and Cheek Palette ($55 US) will thrill you.

Find inside lipsticks in:
Sexual Healing, a sheer, shimmery pink blossom
Honolulu Honey, a satin, flesh-toned beige
Roman Holiday, a sheer, delicate pastel pink
Funny Face, a semi-matte fuchsia

Dab these famous Multiples onto cheeks, lips, and eyelids:
Copacabana, a glistening pearl
Orgasm, a peachy pink with shimmer

To make the price of these palettes easier to justify, pick from two special promos!  While supplies last, receive a free mini Bronzing Powder in Laguna and a black NARS makeup pouch with your $100 NARS purchase at Nordstroms.

Or, get free shipping and a 15% discount on orders of $70 and more at the NARS website with code 08872910CP (expiration date unknown).
