Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Nars Hyped Eyeshadow Palette.
When the Nars Studio 54 Collection came out I fell completely in love with this palette but with new products coming out every day I’ve forgotten about it.
A couple of weeks back though, it was on sale for 30% on Sephora Italia’s website so I thought: why not?
Nars is my favourite brand but this was my first time trying their eyeshadows.
You can get it from Nars website for 59$
PACKAGING
This palette comes in a black box with golden details.
The palette itself has glitter and stars on top and I personally like it. I mean it’s a bit tacky but beautifully done and sturdy.
It’s very compact and easy to carry around but I don’t like that shade names are on the back and not under each shade and maybe is a bit too small.
It features twelve shades: 5 shimmers, one glitter and six mattes.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
All the shades have a medium to high pigmentation, they are really creamy and easy to blend. They don’t have much fall down, even the glitters.
Mattes: are insanely buttery and easy to blend, this is the kind of formula you can’t screw up because it blends itself.
Shimmers: again really buttery and easy to blend.
Glitter: is beautiful. Creamy, not chunky at all and it barely has any fall down.
APPLICATION
All the shades blend easily with brushes but the shimmery ones work best if you use your fingers and you press them on.
SWATCH
LOOKS
I used the second colour (Shake Shake Shake) on the lid and the second to last (Last Party) on top of it. I’ve put the fourth (Ring My Bell) and the third (Doctor Love) in the crease and lower lashline.
I used the first colour (We Are Family) in the first half of the lid and the eighth (Love Train) in the second half. I’ve put the fourth (Ring My Bell) and the third (Doctor Love) in the crease. With the third to last shade (Hot Stuff), I created a winged eyeliner shape on the upper and lower lash line which I’ve deepened with the black (White Horse), going back to blend it multiple times.
LASTING POWER
With a primer, they last about 8 hours before creasing.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 9/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 8/10
- Texture: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 8/10
- Packaging: 7/10
GRADE: A-
This palette is beautiful. I love the colour story and it really inspires me. The formula of the eyeshadows is amazing, the shimmers require a bit of layering but they are beautiful. I really like the packaging but maybe the pans are a bit too small. Honestly, I think 59$ it’s a bit expensive but if you find a deal as I did, it’s an amazing palette I highly recommend.

I am attracted to palettes with reds and pinks! I agree with you, I probably would not purchase this palette unless I got a good deal on it. Your look is a great example of how to use this somewhat bold palette for an everyday look.

I’m definitely attracted to these colours too, but yeah is not worth it
This is such a pretty palette. I love that packaging!
It’s seriously so pretty x
I am obsessed with Nars anything! I have the blush, and since buying it, I’ve been hooked. I have never tried the Nars Hyped Eyeshadow Palette but I’ll be sure to check it out. Love the colors and the packaging as always! Nars is definitely a fave of mine – especially the shimmery ones!
It’s one of my favourite brands too, I love their blushes and the palette is awesome too x
That is a truly stunning palette! It would look really good on my daughter with her skin tone I think.
I bet it would x
Come sai i colori di questa palette sono molto lontani da me e da ciò che amo indossare. I primi 4 però mi piacciono, ma non è davvero una palette che userei.
Devo dire che rimane comunque molto versatile ma si capisco che questi toni non fanno per tutti
Oh wow, you’re making me really want this palette! I loveeee these colors 😍. But I kinda hate how NARS makes most of their palettes limited edition! (I assume this is limited edition, right?)
I think it is and yeah I agree, I don’t think they have one that’s permanent, maybe the tini ones?
I think their duo’s are permanent and maybe the singles too. But all their palettes seem to come and go sadly!
Yep but I think you can built your own palette with those
Yes, I think you’re right. But I’m actually too lazy to build my own palette most of the time 😄.
Same 😂
These seem fabulous. Wow. The shades and the texture you describe are brilliant!
Yeah totally
I live these colors! I haven’t used a NARS eye palette before. I always favor Urban Decay and Too Faced. This definitely looks like it’s worth trying.
I like urban decay too 😍
You made the palette come alive with creative looks! Love, love. Thanks for sharing. xx
Thank you 💕
