General Comments on this product:
This NARS cream eyeshadow is described as a "gossamer turquoise", which describes it to a T-- it is the cleanest, prettiest soft blue-green you could hope for.
Some people complain about creasing with NARS cream blushes, but I have found using a base (like UDPP, or Beige-ing shadestick) doesn't alter the color and makes it last nearly all day--tested it many times over!!

The best thing about this e/s, being a bright shade is you can layer on the intensity--using just your fingers, you can keep it sheer... or with a brush, you can really bring out the color as it appears in the compact.

With Carioca... WOW... this looks so sheer and pretty I can use it as an every day shade (it doesn't scream out at you "blue") and it makes me look rested and refreshed, bringing out my blue eyes so nicely!
I also love pairing this with the NARS Cream eyeshadows in Corfu or Decameron (nudes/bronzy) as a lower liner in the summer.. really pops!!
