I am sooooo disappointed with this palette! Like other reviewers, I want to love this but don’t.
I purchased this after watching numerous YT video’s praising these shadows beyond belief and to the highest of highs. They all said the same thing over and over: Best shadows, worth the price, insane color payoff when applied wet, applying wet doesn’t ruin the color and they could still/also be applied dry, yadda yadda, blah blah blah. I did not want to pay $30 each for the single versions (gulp) so I thought $80 for the palette of 8 shades was a really good deal (at least compared to the singles) so I ordered it from the Nars website right away (this is a limited edition release).
The very first thing I noticed was that my finger swatches of the colors vs. all I had seen from gurus and other online reviewers were VERY different – while the colors were pretty, I wasn’t getting this same high intensity of color or the shine factor. I applied these dry at first and the colors came off really boring and dull. After this I opted to only do wet looks (using Mac fix+) and I was extremely disappointed… The color payoff was NOT any more intense than most of my UD, Mac, or even some of my Coastal Scent shades. Truthfully I have a ton of high frost shadows (big name and no name) that are way more intensely pigmented than these were. Ironically I have many other Nars shadows that are more intense than these are. I tried these applying these with both my Mac 242 brush and the one which came with this palette (which is actually a very good brush), but there was no real difference in application between them. These didn’t intensify with a good hearty afterspray of fix+ either. I gotta be truthful: I was pretty p*ssed off… and kind of still am.
These are NOT high intensity shadows. These shadows are NOT worth the money at all. My gut says these are going to end up discontinued by Nars at some point in the near future, or within a couple of years I am betting. The only reason I gave this product 2 stars is as a collectors piece if you are a Nars fan or makeup junkie and because it includes a really good brush that retails for $28 (the #49 wet dry brush). I do not recommend the dual intensity line of eye product at all.

So wanted to love this, can’t. Gorgeous packaging, especially for NARS. (Get rid of that immediately messy, impossible to clean weird rubber already) Pans inside look awesome, I couldn’t wait to play with this. Alas, applied dry these shadows aren’t pigmented enough to create crisp looks with. Everything just looks sorta cloudy and hazy, muddy basically. For the cost of this palette, I should be able to create any kind of eye look I want! I tried errythang, primers, NYX Milk pencil underneath for added vividity, on and on. MEH. And these jewel tones are so cool, too. #dang
Applied wet, the colors are vivid and deep. But there is no middle ground for me. If I spend $79 on a palette I expect more versatility. NARS shadows are typically complex and superfun to apply. These eight pans are relegated to accents alongside better shadows, or for dark smoky eyes only….even then, I have better smoky eye options.
Would not repurchase. Do not recommend.

I have a little bit of buyer’s remorse about this palette. I was dying to get my hands on it from the second it came out, but now that I have it I don’t reach for it that often, and I feel like my $80 could have been better spent elsewhere.
The palette is an excellent deal compared to buying the Dual Intensity shadows individually, but I just don’t feel like there are that many wearable looks I can create using these shades. I wish it had one or two more mid-toned colors; four very deep shades seems like too many for an 8-pan palette. They are beautiful, blendable shadows, though, and I appreciate that they can be applied wet or dry. The brush that is included in the palette is actually of fairly good quality, and it’s especially good at applying the shadows wet.
It’s a high-quality product, but it just isn’t a must-have for me.

This pallet is $80?!? I found mine on eBay for half the price. The quality, the shade selection and pigmentation is awesome, not sure if it’s $80 awesome but if I could find it again for $40 I would definitely buy it again.
You can use wet and dry without the pans getting “icky and cakey”. Getting a nice smokey eye is so easy, like lazy easy. I just spray my brush with Fix + apply all over my lid and blend out with dry brush using the same shade.
No regrets.. Love

I’m surprised that this palette is so polarizing – it seems that people either love it or hate it. I’m on the love it side, for a few reasons: (1) now that I’m in my 40’s I find that I end up just doing a neutral matte or satin eye all the time. But I miss playing with color and texture like I did in my 20’s – this palette lets me do that, but still with a finish that doesn’t emphasize texture or lines around my eyes. (2) Colors are versatile; I’ve been surprised that I’ve worn the Subra (deep purple) and Giove (cobalt blue) as much as I have. They just look beautiful on the eye; I can introduce a little color at the lash line even with an otherwise neutral eye, and it looks lovely. (3) The colors really do look different wet; so the palette seems to me like a decent value, because I have double the effects I can create.
I’ve been using this for about a month now, and I am enjoying it a lot. It’s not a must-have – it’s a fun-to-have. I’ve been reaching for it more and more often. I find I can do a very quick look that’s still polished, and longevity has been good for me (about 8 hours without primer, 12+ with primer).
One thing to note: some of the shades have a kind of ‘film’ over them when you first open the palette – I just swatched with my finger and it was gone (I didn’t need to scrape the surface or anything like that). Also – if you get this, you should try a ‘watercolor’ eye, using the colors very very wet. I did it on accident (got my brush too wet one time) and it looked really cool and once it dried it stayed that way. This palette is just a good time: it appeals to the little girl in all of us who love to play around with our makeup!

I’ve been waiting for this palette to arrive at Sephora since seeing it online. Ever since they launched, I’ve been coveting several of the Dual Intensity single shadows but they are fairly pricey, and considering that I have never finished or even hit pan on an eyeshadow, I figured the palette, with 8 smaller pans and, of course, 8 shadows to choose from, would be ideal. This purchase was a bit of an indulgence. It sells for a hefty $90 in Canada and it is by no means a “must have” or basic type of palette offering a variety of different looks for all occasions. Nevertheless, I am delighted with it and so happy that I have it and was able to get 7 of the permanent shadows and the one exclusive shade (Ursa Major, which just might be my favourite in the whole palette).
I’m surprised that this has such low ratings and a 0% repurchase rating. As I said, the colours aren’t exactly basic “every day” shades and all have a lot of sheen/shine to them but applying them dry keeps the more outrageous shades from being too strong. And the option of using them wet for a more intense look is a great option. When I first applied Ursa Major, I was already wearing eyeshadow – MAC Fiction – and as I was so excited, I applied this overtop. I loved the result and I’ve been using it this way ever since. The result is a really nice grey-brown shadow and a smooth application (applied on its own, it can be rather patchy and hard to get even but with Fiction underneath, it’s perfect). I haven’t used all the shadows yet but I have the feeling that Giove (the deep electric blue) might be similar in that a base of some sort will enhance the colour and application. With shadows in this price range, this shouldn’t be necessary but, as I said at the start, this palette is sort of an indulgence, so I’m judging it by different standards than I might otherwise. So I can totally understand why so many are disappointed in this palette – especially in the pigmentation. These shadows look SO fabulous in their pans but don’t deliver on application, especially if you use them dry. In this, they remind me of MAC’s Extra Dimension shadows – same sort of yummy glow and rich colour in the pan but not applied (at least not if you use them dry).
So, to cut to the chase, this is pricey and not really perfect but it’s such a nice palette to have despite these issues and I’d buy it again in a heart-beat if it went missing – it’s just one of those pretty, impractical, “defies logic why I like it so much” cosmetic purchases!

I have been hearing good reviews about the individual dual intensity single shadows so I snatched it as soon as it came out.
Packaging: I love how the front of it says “Narsissist” and it’s a mirror. Are you implying that I am a narcissist for purchasing this product Nars? haha. I think it’s clever.
Eyeshadows: My first swatch of the colors were disappointing, but after I kinda heavily swatched the first layer of it, the shadow is not as hard and I can pick up the colors pretty well with my brushes. They’re soft, smooth formulation with no powderiness. All have shimmer in them, but each have different finishes. If you were to use this palette on its own, you would have shimmers all over the eyes that are visible. Colors are pretty true to pan on your eyelids. They blend well and you can do both day/night looks with the colors so it’s versatile. I prefer the lighter colors for more a natural look. I like how I can use the shadows both wet and dry. Dry application is still nicely pigmented on your lids but applied wet it’s even more opaque in color. The eyeshadows last long on the lids wet or dry, especially with a primer.
The main downside to this palette is the price point. I like the palette, but I don’t know if I like it enough to pay 80 dollars for it. It’s not as versatile in the sense that all the colors are quite shimmery. I feel like the colors are nice but they’re quite dupable IMO…esp the darker colors.
I do like this palette and it makes me covet now the Cassiopeia color even more. Would I repurchase this palette? Probably not. But am I glad I got this one? Yes. And I highly recommend you purchase it from Sephora cus Nars doesn’t let you return palettes.

Summary: eight pan eye shadow palette featuring Nars Dual Intensity wet/dry eye shadows, includes a wet/dry eye shadow brush
Colors: There are eight shades with a good mix of lighter and darker colors. All are shimmery as all of the dual intensity formula shadows are. One of the shades, Ursa Major, a deep brown color, is limited edition for the palette. The other seven can be bought as singles. Particular stand outs to me are the lighter shades, especially Himalaya which looks almost rose gold on me; there is also a silver with green undertones, a whitish color and a lighter peachy color. Darker shades are good for smokey eyes, there is a deep blue, a black, a brown, and a deep burgundy color. All of them quite beautiful and wearable. The darker ones would be great for a smoky eye.
Formula: I don’t own any of the singles so not entirely sure how these compare, but they do swatch the same as the singles I’ve swatched in store. They go on quite sheer when dry (much more sheer when you apply on your lid with a brush than when it’s swatched), although the lighter shades do give a beautiful glimmer when layered with other shadows. The darker ones look very patchy when dry so I would only ever use them wet. When you use with a wet brush, the formula turns into a cream consistency, so I would suggest reserving half of the pan for wet use and half for dry because it’ll affect the shadow that is left in the pan. I’ve used both setting spray and water and find that water actually works best. When wet, the shadows look very opaque with a sophisticated shimmer that is not too glittery or tacky. When wet, the shadows stay on for ages and don’t crease. My complaint though is that I find them hard to blend when wet and it’s just too much work to use multiple brushes and wet the brush multiple times etc for one eyeshadow look. This is definitely not for beginners. Overall, they do look great when wet but I’m not sure I really prefer the look over my tried and true shimmers from other palettes I like and there are great cream shadows out there. I also think it eats up a lot of product to use them wet so it won’t go as far.
The brush: Nars #49 wet/dry brush. It’s a flat eye shadow brush. It gets the job done for packing on color and works well with the wet shadows, but it’s nothing special. It retails for $28 on its own. It’s nice to have one in the palette though and I reserve it for putting on wet shadow.
Packaging: It’s sturdy but not my favorite. The front is mirrored with text on it, which I find a bit tacky. The traditional Nars packaging gets grubby, but I think is more sophisticated looking. The mirror on the inside though is a nice size.
Price: $79 is pretty steep for an eye shadow palette. It’s 0.03oz (0.85g) per shadow, so $11.61/g. If you buy the 0.05oz singles at $29 a pop it comes out to $20.47/g so this is a good deal if you want to try the formula out and especially if you want to try multiple colors. That being said though, that is compared to $3.17/g for the UD Naked Palettes, $10.08/g for the Dior quints, $13.27 for Tom Ford quads so we’re definitely playing in the big leagues.
Bottom line: The wet/dry idea seems great but for the price, but at the end of the day I’d rather just buy a Tom Ford quad and stick to my cream shadows for the “wet” look. I’m still giving it three lippies though because the formula is innovative and the shadows at beautiful, but they’re just not for me.
ADDENDUM: I have found that I do enjoy using these wet as eyeliners for winged liner. I use a wet angled brush. Lasting power is not quite as good as waterproof liquid liners I’ve used but looks decent at the end of the night.
