What does it claim to do?

"François Nars' iconic innovation, the original multi-purpose stick for eyes, cheeks, lips and body. Its unique creamy formula and sheer color blends effortlessly to create shimmering accents; contours or dynamic highlights on all skin tones. Apply with fingers: the skin's warmth allows for perfect blending" - NARS

What do I think?

On the 10th February it was the second birthday of Francois Nars' store in New York which is located on 415 Bleecker Street. NARS have a collection of limited edition 413 BLKR (see what they did there!) products and this multiple in Burgundy is the latest launch.

As with all NARS products, the packaging is gorgeous and looks very classic. It is the first time I've tried a multiple which can be used on the eyes, cheeks, lips and body. The burgundy shade is definitely more suited to the cheeks and lips and I have been wearing it mostly on my cheeks.

I was a little apprehensive when I saw the colour in the stick but it's actually really wearable and can be applied lightly and then built up if necessary- in the photo above you can see that I am wearing only a small amount but it still gives a lovely natural flush to the cheeks. As NARS recommend, it is far better to apply the multiple with your fingers as if you apply it directly it can be too much. 

On my lips it creates a lovely rich berry shade however it felt very drying so I would recommend wearing it with a moisturising balm.

Would I re-purchase?

I would be keen to try more of the NARS multiples as know they are available in a wealth of shades, however I'm not sure I would re-purchase it in Burgundy as it's lovely but not a colour I choose to wear often.
