One of the staples in my Nars' singles collection, I love this eyeshadow and mostly use it as a liner. It is a deep midnight blue color that I have used over my entire lid for an intense smoky...

Returned the lackluster Thunderball for this, and I'm so glad I did. This is THE dark blue eyeliner shade I've been searching for. Let's face it--blue can look gaudy if it's the wrong texture or...

i love this color as I am a deep skintone and it shows up beautifully deep blue on me. I use it with urban decay blues also to gradiate. Definitely hard to find, but I am sure in a world of EBAY...

This is expensive, feels and looks chalky and appears virtually black on me as it is so dark! I am very disappointed, have only used it once since I bought it. Not impressed.

This color is a bit too blue for me. I have olive colored Asian skin and China Blue looks rather dramatic/comical. The texture is also too chalky so I get tiny flakes after application.

I changed my mind upon using this for a few weeks. ---It is messy to apply and flakes. ---It can only go over another color to make it blend right. The color is pretty, a navy-blueberry shade....

I love silk blue/china blue. It's my favorite color...I felt it was misrepresented in NARS' China Blue Eyeshadow. It comes off as a grayish black...so not worth the 21 bucks.

This is an AWESOME liner. It's better than any of the NARS e/s when used wet as a liner. I suspect maybe the previous users should have put more water in the shadow making it more dense. It's...

I just got this with the new holiday 9938 palette and I love it! It's great as an eyeliner, or as a smokey shadow. Also when it's blended with iceland, it gives a nice shimmery royal blue shade!...

An interesting dark matte blue, halfway between royal and navy in the pan, but more black-toned on. I bought this as a liner, but it applies too sheer for that. Fortunately, it makes a great lid or...
