So, I have 3 Multiples from NARS in my collection.  They have a great deal of flexibility and wearability (I believe they are the original multi-purpose makeup stick meant to be used on the face, lips, body and eyes.  Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s the story : )

Copacabana is a light shimmery champagne highlight color I use under the brow bone, on the cupids bow, on the tops of my cheeks and my collar bone.  South Beach is my go-to bronzer in the summer.  I like to layer it with powder bronzers to get an intense dewy- bronzey glow in the warmer months. Though meant to dry down to a powder finish, the glow created from the shimmer still looks dewy on my skin and layers well over everything and anything.

The Multiple pictured here is my “blush” multiple, a pinky golden coral shade that’s so flattering and easy.  Portofino is one of those products you can wear with or without a full face of makeup.  Put a bit on over a tinted moisturizer, and you’re in business.  Pat it over a long wearing foundation and it looks just as cohesive! Yay!

Now that it’s getting warmer, the sun is out again (finally!), it feels great to layer on something that looks sunny and healthy. I’m digging Portofino out from the bottom of my makeup drawer and using it for another spring/summer starting now.  I’m realizing they must not dry out very quickly, mine are still so workable after having them a very long time.

Beware these few things: If you aren’t into shimmer, be very careful as most (if not all?) are a bit sparkly.  They are also on the pricey side in my opinion, at $39.  Luckily they can double as a lip color/ cheek color / etc. in one- but it’s still a bit hefty for one product.

Keep an eye out for little Multiples in NARS gift sets around the holidays, etc. I promise you that those little baby versions will last you a really long time, and chances are, you still won’t run completely through it!  Enough now, tata. Thanks for reading.
