When it comes to beauty products, I am all about the ones that are multipurpose and can work double-duty to fulfill my needs. NARS The Multiple is fantastic product that was developed by NARS to be used on the lips, cheeks, and eyes. I’ve been a huge fan of The Multiple for some time now, and I use these every single time I am traveling to save space in my makeup bag. 413 BLKR is a special shade which was recently added, that has rich, opaque tones of burgundy to it.

If you are new to NARS The Multiple, they are basically big fat sticks of color that you can use in multiple ways. Depending on the shade you purchase, you can use it on everything from your cheeks to your lips to your eyes, to your body. For this particular shade, 413 BLKR, I would personally stick to using it on my lips and cheeks.
The product itself is very rich and creamy, and has extremely opaque coverage. One swipe of this, and you’ll get saturated burgundy color. The formula is a cream, but it dries more like a matte powder finish, which I actually like because I have oily skin and I feel like it gives more staying power (for any skin type).
You can see just how saturated the color is, and the above swatch is only two swipes. The best part is that you can choose how much or how little to use, and that will affect the shade. When applied heavily, this looks like a dark burgundy shade. When applied with a lighter hand, it is more like a rust-colored burgundy shade with hints of brown to it.
On the lips, it is very much like a stain. I love the effect it gives. It’s like your lips but drenched in berries. It does dry matte, and it can feel a little drying on the lips, so you may want to add some lip gloss or lip balm on top of it. One thing is for sure, once you put this on your lips it is going to stay for hours and hours. I really like the light wine-stained look it gives my lips!
The absolute most gorgeous way to wear this, though, is as a cheek color. Above, I applied the product lightly and blended it out. The overall effect is a natural “pinched” look with a slight sheen to it. This would make a beautiful cheek stain, and again, it lasts for hours and hours, even on my oily skin.
Overall: The NARS Multiple is a fantastic multi-tasking product that you can carry along with you in your makeup bag when you are on-the-go or traveling. Specifically, 413 BLKR is perfect for those who love deeper wine-colored shades on the lips and cheeks. The product is pigmented and long-lasting, and with how much product you get, it will literally last you forever.
