Yes, OK, these eyeliners are black at the beginning, with colored \u00a0glitter. But still!<\/p>\n<p>To give a little more detail, they are not waterproof eyeliners, but they are<strong> very long lasting<\/strong>\u00a0well on me in any case, they don&#8217;t move and don&#8217;t smudge all day, which is great. They can be applied \u00a0along the lash line and you can blend them if you want, and also in the waterline. For\u00a0me, they\u00a0weren&#8217;t irritating at all.<\/p>\n<p>I heard about these Night Series eyeliners on\u00a0<a title=\"Temptalia\" href=\"http:\/\/www.temptalia.com\/nars-night-series-eyeliners-reviews-photos-swatches\" target=\"_blank\">Temptalia<\/a>\u00a0(this website is the place to go to know what&#8217;s new in makeup, a blessing for the passionate \/ makeup crazy people like myself). Moreover, the site founder, Christine, didn&#8217;t love those eyeliners, finding them too stiff and hard to apply on the eyes.<br \/>\nHowever, I really loved the colors and I was still curious about them.<\/p>\n<p>So I went on the day of <a title=\"Launch of NARS in Dubai\" href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/2014\/06\/09\/where-to-find-nars-in-dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\">the launch of NARS in Dubai Mall of the Emirates<\/a> to buy some products I wanted, among other <a title=\"NARS Dual-Intensity eyeshadows, my review\" href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/2014\/10\/31\/nars-dual-intensity-eyeshadows-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dual-Intensity eyeshadows<\/a>. I saw them on the counter\u00a0and I swatched them on my hand.<br \/>\nPleasant surprise, I found them very <strong>creamy<\/strong>, it slided perfectly and deposited the color on my skin really well. They even blended easily. So I told myself that Christine from Temptalia was perhaps unlucky with the ones she received&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The glitter shows rather well on my forearm\u00a0and I could (as you can see below) distinguish the colours without a problem&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Look at the swatches:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/nars_eyeliners_night_series_2014.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6616\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/nars_eyeliners_night_series_2014.jpg\" alt=\"NARS Eyeliners Night Series\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So you can\u00a0see the colour differences\u00a0quite well and the glitter&#8217;s shine, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well the problem is that when I put them on my eyes, it isn&#8217;t obvious at all&#8230; I mean really not. It looks like a classic black eyeliner. Without the pretty colored glitter. I was so\u00a0disappointed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I bought Night Porter, the one with emerald green glitter, and really, you can barely see the green micro-pearls. Maybe if I&#8217;m under the right light and that you look\u00a0carefully&#8230;<br \/>\nA few days after I bought this one, \u00a0I received the rest of the collection from NARS. I thought it might be different with the other colors, but unfortunately it&#8217;s the same thing. I can clearly see the glitter and the colors on my hand when I swatch them on my arm as illustrated in the above photo but\u00a0nothing on my eyes, it&#8217;s difficult to explain. When I look at it after applying it on\u00a0my eyes, it looks like I put a simple black eyeliner.<\/p>\n<p>For example, here is Night Bird, which is the one with the glitter which is the most visible. I can see a small purple glimmer, but it&#8217;s still pretty light. (and \u00a0I zoomed) (my pores, for example, are\u00a0way too big for my liking\u00a0here ;P &#8211; but I can still only just see the slight purple tint)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/11\/nars_2014_night_caller_eyeliners_night_bird.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6530 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/11\/nars_2014_night_caller_eyeliners_night_bird.jpg\" alt=\"NARS Night Caller Eyeliners Night Bird\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/11\/nars_2014_night_caller_eyeliners_night_bird.jpg 960w, https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/11\/nars_2014_night_caller_eyeliners_night_bird-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/11\/nars_2014_night_caller_eyeliners_night_bird-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/11\/nars_2014_night_caller_eyeliners_night_bird-367x245.jpg 367w, https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/11\/nars_2014_night_caller_eyeliners_night_bird-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/11\/nars_2014_night_caller_eyeliners_night_bird-270x180.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another issue, the pencil&#8217;s lead is super <strong>fragile<\/strong>.
