NARS Haight-Ashbury, Last Frontier, Mulholland Drive High-Pigment Eyeliners Reviews & Swatches

Haight-Ashbury

NARS Haight-Ashbury High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a deep, grayish-taupe with subtle, warm undertones. The more the product was built up and layered, the “cooler” it looked–the base was warmer, so sheerer application made it look more like an ashy brown. The texture was velvety with good glide but not too much slip/creaminess, so the eyeliner applied comfortably to the waterline and lower lash line but didn’t migrate while it was setting. I was able to smudge and blend out the edge of the eyeliner as it dried down. This particular shade had more semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation. It wore well for nine hours well on my lower lash line and a solid six hours on my water line.

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.03 oz. - $800.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "12-hour wear' that is "humidity-proof," "sweat-proof, "water-resistant, and "transfer-resistant" paired with "high pigment." The texture definitely felt a bit gel-like, as intended, as the product glided across my skin without tugging or dragging, and the pigmentation seemed a bit inkier and richer. They're creamier--but not too creamy--than previous iterations of the formula, and they wore significantly better than most of NARS' pencils have for me.

Some shades lasted longer than others, but most shades were semi-opaque to opaque in pigmentation, comfortable to apply, went on evenly, and were easy to use. Most lasted for eight to ten hours on my lower lash line with wear on my water line being six to eight hours in most instances.

Last Frontier

NARS Last Frontier High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a deep, cool-toned brown with a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in one layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture felt creamier than it might have appeared in the swatch, as it went on fluidly and never tugged on my lash line. The color applied evenly, and while it was quick-drying, I was able to smudge the edge if desired. It started to migrate a bit toward the outer corner (but didn’t smudge below) after nine hours of wear on my lower lash line, while it lasted closer to seven hours on my waterline.

Mulholland Drive

NARS Mulholland Drive High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner ($24.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a shimmering bronze with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in one pass, which adhered evenly and smoothly to my lash line without dragging or tugging on it. The pencil had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that glided across the skin with ease but never felt too wet, so it didn’t migrate or sink into fine lines as it dried down. It stayed on well for 10 hours on my lower lash line (I did not test it on my waterline due to the amount of shimmer).
