Nars Eyeshadow Duo is available in 50 beautiful color combinations. I purchased Blade Runner. It has a shimmery dark green shade and a shimmery mahogany shade. I fell in love with the duo as soon as I saw it but, because I have very pale skin, I was worried the colors would be too dark and bold for me. And because I had never tried this color combination before I was unsure of how it would look. The shades are very shimmery, rich and pigmented and complement each other perfectly. The colors can be applied quite sheer, which suited my fair skin better, or built up for a more intense and dramatic effect.
The eyeshadow feels silky and is easy to apply. It goes on smoothly and blends very well, doesn’t crease and lasts all day. I also like the packaging. I think it is sleek and classy. It also has a mirror. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive!
Summary:
Overall, I love Nars Duo Eyeshadow. It is available in lots of great color combinations, blends well, lasts all day and doesn’t crease. It is expensive, though.

I saw Karen using NARS eyeshadow duo before and it looked great on her. But for 32 dollars, I can get a lot of makeup from other brands.
Great review !!! But for 32 dollars, I think I’d rather..get a UD palette..which I’m thinkin about anyways but HAHA whyyy is there only twooooo. So tinyyy!
I’ve heard such good things about these palettes, but it’s way too expensive for me. I wish I was one of those rich people who can buy all these expensive things. :/
Dao: this duo is amazing, I love it! But £32 is a lot and when you think of all the makeup you can get for that price, it puts you off rom buying it.
Jessica Dee: I want a UDPP palette too. I don’t know which one to choose, they are all so pretty! I rather get a palette than a duo for this price buut I couldn’t resist buying this.
Alyssa: me too! I love these duo so much but I can’t afford to buy more at the moment. If you want to try this you can look for it on makeup boards, there are lots of people that sell new or barely used make up for cheap prices on there. That’s where I got mine from and it cost me $18.
The one you’ve pictured looks like an exact dupe for one of the MAC Suite Array duos.
Gio, I have the deluxe Urban Decay eyeshadow palette, and I like it a lot.
You’ll have your Sleek palette soon! I’m just waiting for the Midnight Barry M Dazzle Dust to be back in stock.
I hadn’t noticed that. I think the green shade looks similar to the green in counterparts, but the other one is more like a deep red/brown color. Haven’t seen a shade like that in the Suite Array collection.
That UD palette is gorgeous!!
Thanks so much hun! I’m so curious to try it! I can get another color if you can’t find that one, I aim to collect all the dazzle dusts anyway.
