Review time! I recently started using an eyeshadow duo from NARS in the color 'Silk Road.' I wanted to let you know my thoughts on this beauty:
The left color is a gorgeous peachy pink shade that is very velvety and soft. It comes off on my light skin looking very beige and neutral. The color on the right is a deeper brown, mauve color. I don't know how well you can see the texture in this picture but this color is VERY chunky and glittery compared to the velvety peach color. The glitter is a bit hard to control and involves placing it carefully on the lid. There will be some fallout with this color..its unavoidable.
This duo makes a beautiful neutral eye. I patted the left color all over my lid and I placed the mauve glittery color on the outer edge of my lid. Minimal effort for a gorgeous neutral look! I know many people won't like the chunky consistency of the mauve color but I love it...I like that there are two different textures of eyeshadows in one duo. It makes for a more interesting and fun look. And who doesn't love glitter?!!
The product comes in typical Nars packaging: a sleek velvety plastic container that is beautiful when you first get it but unfortunately attracts every makeup and dust particle...it won't stay pretty forever!
Nars eyeshadow duos sell for $34....it seems steep, I know, however the quality is nice and I think its okay to splurge on a neutral product like this that you will get a ton of use out of it. Also if you break down the price per gram, NARS eyeshadow duos are actually cheaper than MAC single eyeshadows when you buy them in the pot. Huh...interesting.
Let me know if you have tried other noteworthy NARS duos and tell me what you think!
