Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Review

The lure of this gorgeous shadow came from my recent overhaul of makeup to more luxury branded versions and select NZ brands. Looking up swatches online I came across this stunning colour, shame it only came in a single but I wouldn't want to be without her now, only want to add to my new collection.

This single eyeshadow comes in the most tiniest packaging I have ever seen, but somehow manages to retain a little chunkiness in it's soft matte to the touch black squared casing with the NARS branded in their trademark font and white shade. Inside sits a deeply etched design of lines that allows the shimmering effect of the shadow to play on the light once it hits it for full wow factor.

Almost a cream formula this powder has no fall out and transfers just as good with your fingertip as it does with an eyeshadow brush. Blending out effortlessly without drag or patching. Using as an accent on the centre of the lids these iridescent colour shifting shades make for a striking effect that doesn't shift or lose it's shine as the day goes on. Is it worth the huge price tag, probably not to those who aren't really into their makeup and enjoy the luxury feel that comes along with purchasing a high end brand as there are plenty of comparable products by different brands on the market, but for me there is something special about using these gorgeous little shadows that makes me smile and keep upbeat for the rest of the day and for me that is priceless.

Phoebe: Amethyst mauve shade that has a slight green shimmer to it that adds to it's reflective state once popped onto the eyelids.

I've only used the one, but it wont be the last. This shadow has some serious pigment pay off, and thats just when dry. A bit of Mac Fix+ and va va voom you really amp it up.

Blends out like a dream and lasts all day over the top of primer on my oily lids. Definitely a favourite shadow in my collection and its only been in there a month.
