Stealing from the rich (NYLON) to give to the poor (you and I)

So I just read about this on Nylon's website! AND I WANT IT!!!! Oh and the write up also references Jane magazine, and I loved Jane magazine with all my heart and was beyond devastated when they stopped publishing. And then I found Nylon and now I am in love with Nylon... but not as much as I am in love with Lula!

Anyway, here is what Nylon had to say...



Monochrome can work for makeup, we promise.

Ten years ago, Jane magazine described a quick way to get pretty in a bind: Burn a cork and line your upper lids with the ash. Um.

Besides the fact that it's kind of scary / dirty, what kind of girl can find a cork and a lighter before she can find her eyeliner?! (Wait, don't answer that).

Instead, NARS is trying a one-two-three seconds to beauty approach, using actual makeup. Their latest stick is called The Multiple Tint, and it's designed to create a look for your cheeks, your lips, and your eyes.

The effect creates the "monochrome beauty" trend spotted on runways - where pink eyeshadow, an intense pink lip, and a quick streak of blush were the way to modern style.

The product costs almost $40, which is a bit steep - but NARS is known for their amazing quality, and if you consider that you're getting an eyeliner, an eyeshadow, a lipstick, and / or a blush in one tube, it's not so bad.

Hate to break it to you... $40 in USD makes it a lot more here, sorry ladies, but Nars is readily available at Mecca! So there is some good news!
