NARS Kuala Lumpur Duo Eyeshadow

NARS Kuala Lumpur Duo Eyeshadow (2018) ($35.00 for 0.08 oz.) includes a shimmery peach and a mid-tone, satiny plum. This particular duo could have been quite cohesive for a two-shade look, but the quality was lacking in both shades--just too dry and dusty to perform well on...
