NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow

[Aquamarine1543]

From the video, Callisto doesn't look like pink silver. It just looks like silver.
And it looks glittery rather shimmery. Hmm..

I have never had luck with their eyeshadows except for Tropica, but I only use that as an under-lash lining during the summer. The payoff of their shadows has been consistently horrible. The pan color is rarely realized.

wow I can't believe that yes they have some crappy eyeshadows but most of them are very pigmented and easy to work with

I don't have too much experience with NARS eyeshadow apart from one duo I had years ago and a single I just got in Persia. That thing is so intensely pigmented it's seriously unreal. I'm excited for these new ones!

Sneak peek from T:

I'm sure we can buy them before July 1st at Nars website.

Based on the swatch, Andromeda, Europa, Himalia and Dione will be mine! But I'm not sure about Cassiopeia and Callisto. They look different than I expected. Cassiopeia doesn't look good color payoff and looks stiff. Hmm..
And Lysithea is darker than I expected.

Btw, Callisto is too metallic and pink for my taste.

Callisto and Subra review and swatch!

http://www.beautygala.com/brands/nars-dual-intensity-eyeshadows-callisto-subra-swatches-review-look/

Btw, Callisto is too metallic and pink for my taste.

Her swatches look much more intense than T's, especially applied dry. On a side note, her eyes (not just the makeup) are absolutely incredible.

Based on all the swatches (and thank you, @Aquamarine1543 for posting them!), I'm looking mostly at the mid-tone shades: Phoebe, Desdemona, Subra (love this one!), Dione, Himalia (those last two look too similar to warrant owning both, although I'll reserve judgment until I see them in person), maybe Lysithea (although the dry colour payoff looks weak on T's swatch). I won't get all, of course...

Thanks everyone for the links !

I am loving calisto!

That's funny, because I've had remarkable luck with their shadows, but Tropica was one that I found problematic.


I find that the mattes can be tricky- the colour payoff often seems a bit patchy, which is especially visible on bright shades (e.g., Daphne, Outremer)

No problem.
I agree Dione and Himalia look pretty similar based on the swatch.lol From the pan, Himalia is little bit darker.
Most of them look stiff when they're dry. Hopefully, the quality is better than it seems.

Callisto and Sycorax. You can see pinky color of Callisto more accurate than T's swatch.

Subra and Himalia swatch!

Btw, Himalia is quite darker than I expected and reminds me of the left side of Kalahari duo.

Another review from T:

I'm little disappointed Dione and Himalia are too similar.

Loving Andromeda and Subra, now I'm waiting for swatches of Giove, Phoebe and Lysithea. I will buy just one or two at first because $29 will equal to 29€ and I can't see them in person. NARS isn't available in Germany anymore.

But it is available in France , Dorni. Hopefully the prices will not explode because of the reformulations, I don't know about the prices will be next fall. ?

Wow, Nars sucks!!!
As you know, they offer free shipping of Fedex 2 day over $100. But now, they decided not to offer it anymore.
Really sucks. I mean the prices of their products are getting expensive every year, but they don't even offer free rush shipping? Seriously?
