Generally speaking, NARS’ Duo Eye Shadows are pretty amazing in terms of quality, they are soft, buttery and very pigmented. I wouldn’t expect anything less from a brand such as NARS. I’ve reviewed a couple of these palettes already and have found the quality to be pretty consistent! *big plus*
There are subtle differences in the quality of each pan, which I highlight in each of my reviews. This particular product contains a semi-matte golden shade, it is slightly darker than the gold shade found in the Bysance palette, and the finish is quite a bit more matte. The pigmentation though is still just as good.
The next is an apple green shade with a satin finish, which means the finish for the green is not the same as the gold, a trend I’ve noticed when it comes to NARS duo eye shadows.
This is a good quality palette, no doubts there! And the name is so very NARS~ Whether you consider purchasing this palette completely comes down to whether you think the colours suit you. I’d say that since the shades are on the more on the muted side, they can be worn to work, especially when worn lightly.
Hi, I would just like to know why the AU pricing is so much more than the US. This palette looks lovely.
You and me both! I have absolutely no idea even with the strong dollar we are literally paying double. Aussie retailers can be sure I’m not silly enough to spend my money with them when I can buy two for the price of one!
It does seem pretty silly to me. Retailers have to stop underestimating their customers. We know when we’re being ripped off! And they wonder why we’re going online to buy everything.
I love NARS and their eyeshadows are amazing quality but I find it really annoying that they don’t give you the option of breaking them apart like MAC and putting them in a huge palette. I’d have a lot more if they let me do that…
I suppose I could with a Z Palette but I still find it really annoying.
Anyway – I love the colours in the palette you swatched. Very wearable but still interesting.
Oh that would be amazing if we could break them apart huh? To be able to see all at them within on view would make life a lot easier 🙂 Not sure how you’d manage to crack one out without potentially damaging the pan 🙁
D: Australian makeup is so crazy overpriced 🙁 still, gorgeous swatches ^^
Honestly 🙁 I feel the same way you do!
I love Nars eyeshadows. The quality is really good and this color combo is so pretty. Too bad it’s so expensive though!
Even in US it’s pretty pricy, but in AU it’s crazy.
