NARS have such a fantastic range of eye shadow duos.
I debated for ages over which one to pick up while in Space NK last week. I wandered around for about 20 minutes covered in swatches. Eventually, I settled on ‘EGEA’ which I couldn’t pronounce to the lovely sales lady (seriously the staff in Nottingham Space NK couldn’t be nicer!!) and had to stutter my probably totally wrong pronunciation across the shop to her *shame.*
The annoyingly named EGEA duo.
‘long wearing crease resistant formula, in a series of uniquely paired colour combinations’
Currently, there are 33 duo’s available priced at £23.50 each. They are definitely uniquely paired. Some of the pairings look as though they shouldn’t work, like the hugely popular ‘Rated R’ but from what I’ve seen the colours compliment each other perfectly. EGEA is one of those pairings,
EGEA is one of those pairings. Basically, its green and purple (sage green and smoky lilac.) Not everyone’s cup of tea but one that stood out to me. Both are shades that I like to wear to make my (brown) eyes ‘pop’.
Heavily swatched
I find the colour payoff disappointing. The formula is also hard to blend and too powdery. Resulting in a lot of (shimmery) fallout. Whichever way it is applied I find the end result to be just blah. It’s ok. And that’s about as enthusiastic as I can get about it.
Having said that (and hating being so negative!) I really love all of my other NARS products and will most definitely check out the other duo’s that are on offer.

I found the same – mine is in Taiga and it's quite sheer. But unlike yours I had a really dark colour in so it's great for all over the lid.. I'm sure if you sit down with the duo for a bit you'll find a way to use it because I was the same I was kinda disappointed at first, but after trying it in different ways I now love it 🙂 I actually think they look great in the pics.. 🙂
