NARS Fall 2011: With the Grand Palais Duo Eyeshadow, NARS Does Neutral Eyes with a Twist - Makeup and Beauty Blog

When NARS does neutral eyes, he gives 'em a trivial twist. The new Grand Palais Duo Eyeshadow from the upcoming Fall 2011 collection pairs a silver taupe with a dusty rose in a partnership designed to flatter nearly pare tones. The combination takes the idea of the neutral centre well beyond elementary brown, gray and beige.

Both shadows feel polish to me, and they're quite easy to use. They pack a real wallop, too, when it comes to pigment, even so neither one leaves behind very much fallout at all.

While they're intended to exist worn separately or together, I have a tough fourth dimension working these colors by themselves. On my NC42 skin, I feel like the taupe makes me look a little tired in the optics, and the rose makes me look like I've been crying. But mixing both shades together? That'south a whole dissimilar story. Teamed up, they're like the Wonder Twins! — an interesting duochrome of reddish, purplish taupe. 🙂

I prefer the way they look paired together on me, merely I bet gals with cooler skin tones will exist able to stone them together or alone.

But foolin' around, I tried using the rose from the duo equally a blush, and I actually really similar how it turned out — very natural. I think that'll be the primary way I habiliment the shade this autumn.
