Baby Jane
NARS Baby Jane Eyeshadow (2018) ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, sky blue with a matte finish. It had medium coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque color payoff, but it was more powdery in the pan and seemed to darken noticeably on my skin as it absorbed the natural oils on my skin (almost bluish-teal), even when I tried layering it over a primer. It lasted for seven hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$19.00/0.04 oz. - $475.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "rich, high-impact color" that is "lightweight" and has "increased blendability." Like most larger ranges, there are winners and losers, and some of how they perform can be related to the type of finish. The mattes are soft, slightly dusty in the pans (or not at all) with medium to opaque, often buildable, color coverage. The satin and metallics tend to be smoother, more blendable, and more pigmented with less effort; NARS does the these lower shimmer finishes particularly well, which just looks "melted" on the skin as they lay down so smoothly and have a great shine.
Most shades applied better on my lid than swatched on my arm, which has been something seen across NARS' eyeshadows for years and didn't change with the recent update to their powder eyeshadow formula. On average, they lasted between seven and nine hours on me without primer. They did apply well over primer and stayed on well for 14 hours with minimal fading.
Worth noting: the updated formula and packaging resulted in a product decrease from 0.07 oz. per pan to 0.04 oz. The single eyeshadows received a more noticeable price drop (from $24 to $19) but the duo eyeshadows could be priced better (from $36 to $35).

Tropic
NARS Tropic Eyeshadow (2018) ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium-dark green-leaning teal with subtle, cool undertones and flecks of glitter over a matte finish. The texture was drier and firmer with a stiff texture that was more difficult to pick up, apply, and blend out. I was able to pack it on and build up to opaque coverage with three to four layers, but there was a moderate amount of fallout from the glitter. It started to fade noticeably on me after seven hours of wear.

Outremer
NARS Outremer Eyeshadow (2018) ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, cobalt blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to opaque coverage with a second layer. There was darkening within a few minutes of application on my skin, but itt was still noticeably blue–just more of a brighter, navy blue. In order to retain the brightness, it needed a white base underneath it. The consistency was soft, slightly powdery in the pan, but it blended out easily. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Showgirl
NARS Showgirl Eyeshadow (2018) ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, medium blue with cool undertones and a frosted sheen. The pigmentation was fantastic with rich, opaque coverage in a single layer. The texture was denser, almost cream-like, and had a thicker consistency compared to most of the shades in the range. It applied well to bare skin but took a little more effort to diffuse and blend along the edges due to the thickness (but it adhered extremely well, so as a lid shade, it’s great). It lasted for eight and a half hours on me.

Zambezi
NARS Zambezi Eyeshadow (2018) ($19.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a pale, mint green with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a soft, smooth consistency that was a smidgen dusty in the pan, but it seemed more from being more loosely pressed and didn’t have fallout when I worked with it on my lid. This shade stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.
