All Sentiments
The following sentiments were summarized from reviews collected from across the Web.
"darker color"
I used the lighter shade for my base color and the darker color for my outer V. I loved the look on me.
Ordered based on color recommendation from Sephora and previous experience with NARS shadows: great product all around: darker color can be used as eyeliner with dampend brush: color stays all day and Portobello is a perfect neutral shade that brings out blue eye color
"dark brown"
[Everything on it was from Sephora.] I have dark brown eyes, and these colors look great with them.
I have dark brown eyes, and the two shades in Rated R look great with them.
"dark blue eyes"
I have really dark blue eyes and this duo really makes them pop
If you have dark blue eyes you need to get this color
"smooth finish"
It has this intense glittery smooth finish to it
Very smooth finish and long lasting
"smooth application"
I have also enjoyed the NARS blush which I purchased last summer, very long lasting with a very smooth application.
The pigmentation is great, it's a smooth application, and I love the flat packaging.
"dark purple"
I have this duo in Jolie Poupee, the matte lavender and shimmery dark purple, and I absolutely adore it.
The other color is a dark purple, which is great for the crease.
"dark shadow"
.so the dark shadow makes my eyes less droopy
Specially the dark shadow
"fresh duo"
The shimmer is so beautiful in both shades(cobalt and green.)What a fresh duo!
"dark plum"
I m very excited to see how i can mix it up with other shimmer navy n brown tones and even dark plum that will be in season this winter
"smudged black"
I love the sheer soft texture with the smudged black eye, fierce!
"lovely texture"
Lovely texture
"cheaper products"
In many (if not most cases) the cheaper products are just as good as those more expensive, Not the case here
"complimentary shades"
This duo has the most complimentary shades of purple.
"strong pigments"
Strong pigments and looks great on
"beautifully tone"
bright enough and beautifully toned,this orange is the best I've found, far surpassing Urban Decay's Jones
"dark color"
At night I like the dark color with some eyeliner and mascara.
"dark gray color"
This product looks amazing on: even on brown eyes: it is the perfect blend of light & dark gray color(not too shimmery either)to create a glamorous smoky eye.
"stronger pigment"
I like the Duo Eye shadow that I bought. the minty green color was much more blue and a stronger pigment than I was expecting-hoping for, but I saw it in store a long time ago and would have bought it anyway.
"complimentary shadows"
.No other comapny makes colors like this-The duo shadow comes with not only two complimentary shadows, but the shimmer in the actual colors are different for each color- the purplish color has tiny tiny glimmers that catch the light and looks so pretty-but not CHILDISH!!The other color is more of a shimmer, and has no loose glitter or shimmer- Looks so pretty all over the lid!Overall a good splurge item- and you have a BUNCH of choices!!
"dark side"
[ taiga] Great color I put the dark side on the list Surabaya in the crease and the light color in the brow.
"lovely colors"
lovely colors. the plummy color is gorgeous, and so is the mint color.
"brighter shimmery"
It can be used alone or as a base under some of the brighter shimmery shadows.
"rich purple"
The purple/reddish shadow of the combination comes out a little bit more reddish on me than in the pan, but i've found a perfect solution for making the rich purple/blues stand out more--layer the shadow over a purple liner
"sexy eyes"
The shimmery bright spring green coupled with shimmery cobalt blue can only create one thing when used together - very very sexy eyes
"wicked smokey eye"
You can apply it sheer for daytime, but at night time, amp it up and get a wicked smokey eye! The colour combinations are excellent, some of them look a little crazy, but the colours are incredibly wearable
"shimmering sea"
[Everything on it was from Sephora.] This duo reminds me of the shimmering sea by The French Riviera, Monte Carlo, and Cannes although it apparently reminds Francois Nars of the South Pacific.
"delicate color"
such a delicate color
"richer gold"
The richer gold is perfect on the lid while the lighter gold is perfect for an eyebrow highlighter.
"shimmering plum"
The combo is a shimmering amber gold and the second half is a shimmering plum.
"lovely sheen"
Lovely sheen and texture.
"cheaper shadows"
They're richer than cheaper shadows
"wild colors"
Majority of the NARS' shadows are variations on neutral tones and there are not too many crazy and wild colors but that is okay.
"darker crease"
[ All About Eve" duo: A HAPPY REPURCHASE!] The neutral, cream colors take me from a" no makeup" makeup look to the cornerstone of a buildable day-into-night look by only adding a darker crease color of choice.
"shiny glitter"
The" gold flecks" come off more like glitter very shiny glitter and really looks garish for daytime use, even if you use it sparingly.
"strong light"
But it's very strong light blue.
"smooth formula"
Great smooth formula, beautiful pigmentation
"darker shade"
[I purchased the Taiga colors and it is SOOOO beautiful!] I put the darker shade all over my eyelid.
But the darker shade does not really show well on my skintone, so it's not very useful for more complex looks.
"darker shadow"
The Nars artist suggested using the silver shadow in this duo, and I also use the darker shadow as a liner.
"shimmering neutral"
My only complaint about this eye shadow duo in All About Eve is that it is not at all like the picture shown ; it really is exactly as described(shimmering flesh, shimmering neutral ), just not like the pictured colors.
"striking color"
the duo did not make it for me, although most of nars colors are highly pigmented, this one was not that much of a striking color. the pink is too soft and the bronze you barely see it.
"shimmer color"
One part comes with a nude shimmer color which I did not care for.
"chunky pieces"
There's chunky pieces of gold flicks in the shadows, but it does not appear that obvious on my lids(I would usually gently tap my brush to reduce the gold flicks ).
"dark base"
Olive side is a different story, the shimmer disappears when you try to blend the shadow and you are left with the dark base, it ends up looking very dirty.
"darker brown"
I really do not like Cordura ; I find that the darker brown smears where I do not want it.
"pricey eyeshadow duo"
I was really disappointed in this very pricey eyeshadow duo.
"shimmer shadows"
This is a very wearable duo of copper-y-apricot shimmer shadows ; one light and one a bit deeper.
"dull colors"
[This was recommended by Sephora for fair-skinned and blue eyes.] It did NOTHING for me, they are very matte, dull colors.
"shimmer green"
The other part was a shimmer green with a hint of gold tone to it.
"expensive eye shadow"
For a nice looking, expensive eye shadow its terrible!
"darker skin tones"
I think this would look great on darker skin tones too for a smoldering bronzey eye.
"chunky glitters"
The gold infusions here are not the chunky glitters aimed for the younger makeup fan, but are a smooth, subtle glow, a simmer of ripeness and lusciousness, that brings to mind the skilled cocquettry which inspired" Dangerous Liaisions" and the works of Colette.
"dark grey"
[ love the Taiga colors!] It come out a little brown-like due to the gold sparkle with the dark grey.
"wild duo"
NARS is known for its avant garde colors and especially its wild duo pairings, however this one has a bit of a delicate hand.
"pricey side"
Nars eyedshadow are on the pricey side, but I definitely think you get your money's worth.
"dark smokey eye"
I normally wear a dark smokey eye so I purchased Pandora.
