Nars Multiple Duo - Maldives/Riviera

It's a sad fact that time doesn't often seem to allow for clean, concise make up. Trains have to be caught; children need to be feed; work has to be done. Yes, it seems on the days we wish we could look our most glossy, the laws of physics just won't let it occur. Doctor Who - that machine is wasted on you.

Fortunately it seems the next best thing to a Tardis is this: the Nars Multiple Duo Maldives/Riviera. A nifty little blusher twin set incased in a sleek rubber palette complete with generous sized mirror.

Nars Multiple Duo Maldives/Riviera

As we trek our way through the daily 2 hour commute to work, our skin is often faced with a barrage of sweat, humidity and rain. Any make up we spent carefully applying at 5am is soon removed and replaced with a puffy, flushed complexion complete with token frizzy hair. It's safe to say by the time we begin our 10 hour shift, our confidence is looming somewhat low. Let's face it - we've all been here. It sucks, right?

Well, Mr.Nars has prescribed our remedy...

Maldives/Riviera moderately swatched

Ideal for throwing straight into your handbag, these two creamy colours are essentially a palleted version of the cult stick product. Easy to blend, Maldives and Riviera offer the most deliciously subtle blusher/bronzer duo in shades especially suited for all skin tones. Buttery in texture and sheer on application, it's as easy as pie to manipulate this formula into both the ideal depth and coverage.

After 6 hours wear on bare skin in very sweaty conditions

We find ourselves topping up on this product every few hours. As you can see from the picture above, our sweaty face managed to remove a large percentage of the colour over an afternoon, allowing for just a simple gentle sheen to remain. Our work conditions are pretty full on and we usually find our make up eventually slipping and smudging regardless of it's staying claims. The Multiple is the perfect pick-me-up for pulling our overall look back together and adding a hint of freshness to our otherwise extremely tired complexion.

If you're someone who is constantly on the go and needs a quick, simple product to help fight any signs of fatigue or tiredness, this blush duo will certainly do the job. The perfect colours for summer skin, we've been practically living out of this palette for the last 5 weeks. Giving good wear in even the most demanding of conditions, this would also make an ideal holiday essential. Expensive, but highly worth it.

Nars Multiple Duos are available with limited availability at narscosmetics.co.uk for £33.
