NARS Beautiful Stranger coll. swatches: Dance Dance Dance, Shameless Red, Manosque and Lost Red

 

In the fall 2013 NARS released a Guy Bourdin inspired collection. The Beautiful Stranger 7,4 ml mini set in the colors: Dance Dance Dance, Shameless Red, Manosque and Lost Red - is part of the collection.

Normally I love the NARS formula, but these all had goopy tendencies, the two worst were Shameless Red and Manosque.
All are shown in 2 coats without a top coat.

Dance Dance Dance is a beautiful medium purple cream, and the formula was OK in this one.

Shameless Red is red with hints of pink and coral, and unfortunately this formula was truly goopy.

Manosque is a mushroom-brown mauve, and this formula was better than Shameless Red, but far from the normally lovely NARS formula.

Lost Red is a beautiful true red - the formula was OK in this one.

So, what do you think of the Beautiful Stranger set?
