UPDATE (08.08.2012 8:08am): I knew I was missing something in this post…SWATCH PHOTO!!! Yes, now this post is complete. Scroll down for the swatch photo
If you know me, you know that these are my kind of colors. So naturally I had to have it. And I love it.
What’s not to love? Colors are easy to play up or play down. Texture is spot on. I can easily pick up pigment with easy blend ability. Both shades are highly pigmented. I am in love
You would be too. I have to let you know that I’m very poor at naming colors so bear with me. The lighter coppery-gold shade works beautifully as a warm wash of color. You can wear it alone with lots of mascara for that understated glow-y eye look or smudge the darker khaki-brown-ish color on the lash line to create a warm smokey eye.
According to NARS…
Modern, unique, sometimes unexpected color combinations of eyeshadow shades. Worn alone or together, all Duo Eyeshadow shades feature micro-fine powders that are highly pigminted, longwearing and crease resistant. Color glides on smoothly, evenly and blends effortlessly. The effects can be subtle or smoldering — the options are endless.

Oh darn it, Emilie! Now I WANT THIS ONE! There’s SO much to love about NARS, including many pieces in the permanent line-up and I’m sure this is one of those!
I say wait for my package because you can probably dupe this. All you need is a dark khaki-brown and you’re set. I’ve been so blinded with limited editions that I’ve forgotten that I haven’t explored their permament lineup yet. Can’t wait to explore their duos and palettes.
Thanks Emilie! I wonder if the khaki brown in Dior Golden Savannah could be similar in any sense. That’s definitely on my wish list this autumn/winter!
this is a really great duo from NARS
Totally agree 👍
