Thanks everyone for playing Guess the Brand. I really enjoyed reading the comments. Isn’t it amazing how similar the NYX and NARS shadows are?
Here are the answers
- NYX Smokie Mountain, NARSNight Clubbing
- NYX Exotic Green, NARS Night Porter
- NYX Sensual, NARS Night Fever
- NYX Frosted Ocean,NARS Night Flight
- NYX Golden Amber, NARS Galapagos
OMG I know.. I didn’t even make it hard. I gave you the answers
I just made you think they were mixed up. The textures between the two are different but the results are really similar. I’ll have to do a video swatching them side by side so you can see it in “real time”

Wow - I was pretty close! LOL!
hahahha yep they look the same. What do you mean in texture? Do you recommend better de NARS shadows?
Powdery, chalky, satin-smooth, creamy, etc…
lol I was way off.. I actually guessed the NARS shadows were the NYX ones for a lot of them. Cherry Culture’s sold out of Exotic Green, I believe. I hope they restock soon, the color looks so nice.
I know! I wanted Exotic Green, but they were sold out pretty fast.. darn.
Exotic Green is so amazing!
I’m thinking of grabbing Golden Amber sometime as well.
lol..got 2 outta 5 right…the others were completely missed mixed
the more I look at, the more i’m liking sensual
The green one I think is NARS Night Porter…she used Night Flight twice.
i got 2 right.. lol NYX shadows are always impressive :]
I didn’t even try to guess, cos I never tried Nars on NYX. I love the colours though, and if I had to choose, I’d definitely go for NYX
I can’t get over how good these dupes are! Gorgeous…
yap!!! its good for people that dont want to spend lots of money
Nyx is amazing
yea i wasn’t going to buy these colors now i think i will
wow! that is super close. I’m going to check out their website right now. I havene’t seen such colors be soooooo similar but their price not…
Oh I missed out on the guessing! It’s not surprising that you can get a super luxe eyeshadow for a quarter of the price…
I love saving money n spending as well LOL um do they hav this at ulta … I actually like the nyx clubbing better than the nars ! but do they feel the same?
I’m curious to know where I can find NYX in Ulta as well. I don’t always like to shop online. In the event that I want something right now, and not later, do the or any other store that you know of carry it?
Damn I’m sad I missed out on the guessing game, but I totally want to buy some of those NYX colors now, awesome payoff
Unbelievable.
I am going to check out these dupes.
They look almost identical
Thank gosh for NYX and their prices, it’s so affordable, especially now when MAC’s got a new collection coming out and I am eyeing so many stuff from their new collection..Ouch!
I got them all right!
NYX shadows are awesome. I wish their website would ship where I live.
I couldn’t guess, they looked so similar.
yes and that good, in my country u cant find nars nor mac (well u can find mac but theres only like 10 stores i think around the country
) make up so nyx its a good option!!!
yay i was right nyx vs nars
but its ok it was fun guessing !
from the picts it looks like nars had more fall out. very interesting!
NARS seems more intense…but NYX are great dupes..definitely worth getting
ahhhhhhhhhhh
they look pretty much the same!
Goodness. They’re so similar. This really makes me not want to buy NARS makeup since I can get the same quality but for cheaper with NYX
wow I know!
the colors are very similar
and i like that its kinda like dupes for the more expensive brand
i will definitely have to go get those NYX ones.
wow they are very similar!
big kudos to NYX =D
Sweet, think I’m going to invest what little money I have into grabbing some NYX colors. Especially if I walk into Sephora and start getting the buying itch…I’ll just walk right out and onto the nearest drugstore!!
The colors definitely look the same on camera! The blending isn’t the same though..
NYX and NARS both have very very very similar colors, but overall, NARS has better quality eyeshadows. I mean, that’s obvious. Lol. It costs wayyy more. NYX has great prices.
the colors look really similar to each other,but Nars has better quality…
Just because something costs more does not mean that it is of a better quality. Many times, you are paying for the advertising and the pretty package and nothing more.
its so crazy how similar the two are o___o pursebuzz, do you have a tutorial for a look with these kinds of colours? i’d love to see one :]
Wow, really similar!
OMG, seriously? lol i really thought the first blue one was the other way around because of the colour intensity
i love the purple and the green
WOW they look like the same shadows!
lol! trickyyyy
Would it be too much to ask if anyone knows for a dupe of the grey shade in Brumes Nars duo? (:
I just used nyx smokey eye palet yesterday, I’m in loveee…woooohhhh hahaha
These were great dupes. I was lost don’t own any nars e/s and limited nyx.
They look so freakishly similar, it’s awesome.
If only someone could find a relatively cheap dupe for Orgasm blush
I tought they ore in that order.. to lazy to write :))
This was funny lol
i guessed 3/5..not bad
how do they compare texture wise?
i just cant believe how alike they look!
wow! i can;t belive that look alike!
aw those are pretty fall colorrrs
wow i couldnt even tell haha
they are so close i can’t tell
wow the colours are so similar, pigmented and vibrate i should try it out.
wow.. thats pretty awesome
Wow
they look the same!
Wow they look all the same to me !!
i friggin’ MUST get those NYX shadows…i <3<3<3 the NARS “night” shadows, but they’ve been too pricey for me to grab ‘em all =XX i was at fragrance outlet the other day and i was like HMM THOSE ARE SOME COLORS I’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE…but i was in a hurry so couldn’t check them out. ‘glad i didn’t get ‘em there! cherryculture, there will be a haul soon!! :)**
I couldn’t tell a difference at all. Really love the colors, thanks for this!
Wow! I honestly can’t tell from the swatches w/c one is which. The colors are almost the same.
again, nicenice payoff nars is wayy pricey
I love NYX products.
oh my…nyx has come out with perfect dupes!
Wow very cheap alternative! Thank you for the swatches! I love it
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY DONT EVEN LOOK DIFFERENT
=|
THANKS PB! =)
Whoa! These dupes are amazing for an affordable price!
Wow, amazing. they pretty much look the same.
wow, without even guessing i wouldve thought they were the same. o.o
wow… sold!
i would of thought that they were the same product wow
thanks for the dupes!
I still can’t believe how comparable they are. I just hope the NYX last as long as the Nars because I’m going to buy all of them ^_^ (NYX not Nars, I wish)
I really like the last purple ones, will you be doing a fall/ easy school eye makeup tutorial or maybe a super fun halloween???!!
omg, thanks for finding dupes for nars. nars are way too expensive for me. and i love nyx and their quality.
I so want to buy all of these but i tottaly think that they are amazing, ok that was confusing i am talkin bout the nyx shadows not the nars but i still love nars jeazz im painting myself in a corner so long story short i LOOOOVVVVVEEEEE nyx and they have some of the best quality ever almost if not just as good as mac!!
this just shows you labels don’t matter its all about quality!
wow! i cant believe how similar these shadows are!!! i love nyx and i just started trying out their products after watching your videos and now i want more!!!!!!!!
NYX eyeshadows are definitely my GO-TO eye shadows when I’m on a budget, & even when I’m not, because they never disappoint! NEVER! (= Although I haven’t been able to try many of NARS eye shadows bcus I already have NYX alternatives. Haha.
I actually like the NYX colors better
