LAOS NARS MATTE MULTIPLE - SWATCHES AND REVIEW
LAOS is one of seven new Nars Matte Multiples recently launched online at Nars.com and at Sephora. It is described as a rose coral (which is fairly accurate) and it can be worn on the lips or cheeks. The texture of Laos is creamy and smooth and the color payoff is beyond amazing. This is an extremely pigmented product. The new Nars Matte Multiples contain .26 oz of product and they currently retail for $39.00 USD.

My thoughts:
Once applied on the lips Laos looked almost watermelon pink. As a lipstick it was extremely drying and felt heavy on the lips. I tried patting it on (like a lip stain) over top of a lip moisturizer and it seemed to work somewhat better but there was still a noticeable heaviness.
As a blush it just didn't work for me. When I tried to wear Laos directly onto my skin (on my upper cheekbones) it caused my skin to become red and inflamed. It was really sensitive to the touch and I had to remove the product immediately as my face felt extremely irritated - almost like a slight burning sensation. I don't have sensitive skin so I can only guess that maybe the color pigments used in Laos were what caused my skin to react this way. I waited until the next day to try and wear Laos over top of my foundation in the hopes that maybe I could get better results. However, when I tried applying Laos over my foundation it looked streaky and splotchy. I tried multiple application methods: using my fingers, a blender sponge and even a stippling brush but none of these seemed to work. It still looked uneven and almost clownish. Hopefully you had better results but for me this just didn't work and I'm really disappointed - Laos is such a beautiful matte blush.
