NARS Casino Dupes Here are our dupes for NARS Casino, which is a very warm-toned, medium brown with a pearl finish. It is a permanent bronzer that retails for $38.00 and contains 0.28 oz.

I love a good cream bronzer for summer. I love them because they look more natural on the skin and give you a perfect bronzed look while feeling lighter on your skin than your regular powder bronzer. I haven’t tried any bronzers in liquid form though not until I spotted that Nars came out with a liquid version of their well famous Laguna bronzer so I had to get it.

The Nars Laguna Liquid Bronzer packaging is just beautiful. I love Nars black sleek packaging and this is no expiation. I was actually surprised by the size of the product, it’s basically the size of a foundation so you get a lot of product for a liquid bronzer.

Nars describes the formula of the Laguna Liquid Bronzer as sheer and ultra-versatile weightless innovation that you can use for contouring and bronzing. You can also mix it with your foundation for an all over healthy looking glow or just to add some warmth to your base.

The recommended use:

-To bronze, pump onto back of hand. Using fingertips, glide over the areas where the sun hits naturally: the tops of cheeks, forehead, and the bridge of the nose.
-Smooth and blend into skin.
-Build to desired intensity.

-For an allover, healthy-looking glow, mix into your favorite NARS moisturizer, tinted moisturizer, or foundation.
-Smooth and blend into skin with fingertips.

The formula of the Nars Laguna Liquid Bronzer is very thin and runny. It’s definitely a liquid and I think they made it that way so it can be easily mixed with other products. For application I use either my fingers, the recommended way, but for blending I like to use some kind of a brush, a stippling brush that I mainly use for cream products works really nicely.

What I like about this liquid bronzer is that it is sheer but also buildable so you can’t go overboard with your bronzer. When I apply it, I like to build up the color to the desired intensity and not worry about any streaks or my bronzer being too much.

That being said like the powder Laguna the liquid version would also work for light to light/medium skin tones. If you’re darker than that it will probably not work well as a bronzer.

The finish of the bronzer is just beautiful. It gives you a nice bronzed glowy look to your skin and that “just came back from the beach” look that I love. The shade of the liquid bronzer looks the same as the powder bronzer so it has that perfect golden tones that look very natural on the skin. I know that in the description they say that you can also contour with this shade but for me I prefer a more matte look to my contour so I keep this product only for bronzing and warming up my face.

Swatches L to R: Nars Laguna Liquid Bronzer (heavy swatch), Nars Laguna Liquid Bronzer (blended out)

All in all I really like the Nars Laguna Liquid Bronzer. I think it’s something different on the market and they launched it at the right time because the product is perfect for spring/summer. It’s lightweight, gives a nice bronzed glow to the skin and blends easily in to the skin, everything that I want from a cream/liquid bronzer.

LAGUNA V CASINO

How can one not LOVE bronzer? Whether for the Kim K contour or the sun kissed just hopped off a plane look, bronzer is a girls best friend!

This post is dedicated to comparing the so called “staple” bronzers that beauty bloggers rave about constantly. Now , I know from experience that following popular opinion doesn’t always turn out the way one would expect it to, so , if you are confused between the two shades available by Nars, look no further for the answer is here!

Contestant number one : Nars – Laguna (£27)

This bronzer is clearly not the cheapest bronzer out there, but boy is it worth every single penny! I hate to rave about this product as I’m sure you’ve all heard it before, but this is the one product I will say deserves the “hype” surrounding it !

There are many positives to this bronzer, firstly being that it is an amazing multi-functional powder, If you are young or not particularly familiar with makeup or how to apply it, this bronzer is amazing to use as an eyeshadow! It means avoiding the complicated nature of applying two or more shadows and blending them to perfection, Laguna all over the lid and blended up to the crease makes for a beautiful easy to blend shadow, especially for us brown eyed ladies ! (and us ladies who don’t like to spend too much time on their makeup! )

I also often use it as a blush, in other words I’ll apply the bronzer all other my cheeks, and go in with a darker colour ( often casino) for a sharper contour if that is the look I am going for. It’s always nice to have an all over bronze look with dewy skin, it suits every single skin tone and is impossible to get wrong.

Secondly, and perhaps the most important point, it makes for an amazing bronzer ! Now, if you’re using it with the intention of contouring don’t be worried if you spot shimmer in the pan, this does not transfer to your face, it does have a sheen, but somehow it still has the effect of a matte bronzer ( magic LOL!) , so for the purposes of this post, we’ll call it a matte finish. Thus, if you’re going for that Kim K contour this will give you just that, I also find that it is incredibly difficult to over do it with this bronzer, your brush will always pick up the perfect amount of bronzer every time.

However, be warned that if you prefer a sun kissed look , then this shade may disappoint, as it tends to provide a very natural looking contour as opposed to a sun kissed bronze, however, what I would recommend instead is the:

Nars Casino (£27):

Nars casino is very much similar to Laguna, however it is deeper in tone. I love it if i want to look sun kissed and bronzed, this could also pass as a contour powder if your skin is deep enough in tone, lighter skin tones run the risk of having a muddy looking contour( but if thats the look you’re going for, I say work it!)

I will stress however, not to be put off from purchasing Casino if you are lighter in skin tone, as again it works brilliantly at bronzing your complexion in a natural way, it will bronze your skin in a way that makes you look naturally tan, but in a deeper colour and less natural looking way than Laguna otherwise would.

Again this can double up as an eyeshadow, and be used as a blush alternative when one wants to simply achieve a bronzed look , this again has a sheen but achieves the effect of a matte bronzer.

I also want to bring attention to the fact that this bronzer is MASSIVELY under rated, I prefer it to Laguna on many occasions as I am definitely a wear it all or wear none at all kind of girl. If I wear bronzer I want to look bronzy ( not sure if that word exists LOL), whereas Laguna does lead to a more natural look. ( which I often go for when in a rush )

The verdict is definitely a tie, I love both products equally, and if one has the means I would definitely recommend both, however , different people will have different criteria and needs

To sum up, If:

a. you like a natural look and contour

b. you have a very fair complexion

c. you want the perfect toned contour powder

go for Laguna !

If:

Nars Laguna Vs Casino

a. you have a medium to deep skin tone, ( not necessarily as I am an NC20 in Mac and still adore casino for a bronzed look, but if you’re looking to contour definitely NC30+)

b. you want to look as if you’ve just been to the Caribbean

go for Casino!
