![]() How many pans of it does one need in a lifetime is up for debate, But better Laguna than more Orgasm (and that's a sentence that only makeup people can write or say with a straight face). It's not just a classic bronzer, but a great bronzer. ![]() There's a reason Laguna is included in so many NARS palettes. I've learned to appreciate this color and its versatility over the last few weeks I've had the palette, and I think the NARS people have hit on something there, even if it's hard to define what exactly is Paloma II. What Paloma II does well for me is the sort of barely-there crease contour that works for a myriad of eye shadow applications. Granted, when I do partake in this activity I only sculpt my nose (my sister and her perfect-from-birth delicate nose are having a laugh at my choice of words), where nothing even remotely orange-like will ever do. Someone called it a "rose taupe", but my imagination doesn't quite go there. Paloma II, the contour powder is soft and delicate, but it's also a warmer tone than I'd personally want for contour. Which brings us to the question: what exactly would I highlight (or contour) with these colors? Paloma I is a matte highlighter, which I greatly appreciate as a setting under eye powder (the tiniest amount), under the brow bone, or anywhere on the face that could use a subtle shimmer-free lift. However, like a great many NARS face product it performs much better on prepped and primed actual parts of the face. The highlighter, Paloma I, is barely visible on my skin, and appears a bit powdery when swatched so heavily. You get the Paloma I and Paloma II highlight/contour duo and the inevitable Laguna bronzer. ![]() The top row of the Cheek Studio Palette is, as mentioned above, the same as in One Shocking moment.
