Don't buy this duo. It's not worth the high price tag. The darker side is super chalky and the lighter side is okay. They are both really dry in texture and don't blend well. Just stick with NARS...

Bellissima is a lovely, very basic eyeshadow duo that would look good on almost anyone. One side is a shimmery cream and the other is a matte grey-brown. I love to use the cream shade as base color...

I really like this duo. It's not very "wow" but it's a great basic with nice pigmentation. I find these colors to be neutral and not cool-toned as some reviewers have stated. The gray brown is...

This is an good color. I loved it in the pan. Gorgeous. I didn't think anything was wrong with it, but on me, it just created the same look as the single NARS shadow Ashes to Ashes, which I love...

One of my fav, and one of the best neutral duos from NARS (I have lots of them if not all). The lighter side is beige with slivery shimmer, the darker side is like the lighter version of Bali,...

THIS is one of the shadows that gives NARS a bad rep with shadows!!! Both sides are horribly dry, unpigmented and just chalky! One side is a cream shade with some silver sparkles. The other side is...

okay - so I took a chance on this one... I just loved the look of the darker, grey/mauve/brown shade so much, I had to have it - but must admit, ended up being disappointed. While the dark shade is...

This is a terrible e/s duo. It completely turned me off NARS (well this and Orgasm blush which deposited chunky glitter on my cheeks). The pale shade (champaigne colored) is all glitter, no color....

So I went through a period of majorly lemming NARS e/s duos. This is because I got Habanera and it was so beautiful. By comparison Bellissima is just not up to par. It looks NOTHING like the...
