NARS Hammamet Eyeshadow Duo
NARS Hammamet Eyeshadow Duo ($35.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a new, limited edition neutral-hued duo for spring (January 15th at NARS, February 1st at all other retailers). It’s a nice set of shades that performs well, though they’re more dupable than not.
Hammamet (Left) is described as a “matte beige.” It’s a light-medium, peachy brown with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a soft, blendable texture that wasn’t too powdery or too firm. It blended out well and wore for seven and a half hours before fading. Viseart Beige (PiP, ) is lighter (95% similar). Viseart Cannelle (PiP, ) is darker (90% similar). Anastasia Spoiled (LE, $12.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). Too Faced Millennial (LE, $16.00) is cooler (90% similar). Stila Clay (LE, $18.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Anastasia Soft Peach (P, $12.00) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Bamboo (DC, $17.00) is darker (85% similar). Make Up For Ever S710 Peach (DC, $21.00) is darker, brighter (85% similar). Giorgio Armani Nude Smoke (24) (DC, $39.00) is lighter, cooler (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Hammamet (Right) is described as a “bronzed rose.” It’s a slightly muted, medium-dark coppery brown with warm undertones and a frosted, slightly metallic finish. It was nicely pigmented with a soft, moderately dense texture that blended out well and adhered nicely to bare skin. On me, the color wore for eight hours before it started to fade. Viseart Melonie (PiP, ) is darker (100% similar). Viseart Balmy (LE, ) is darker (95% similar). LORAC Unbelievable (PiP, $19.00) is lighter (95% similar). Charlotte Tilbury Star Aura (Smoke) (LE, ) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar). MAC To Boldly Go (LE, $21.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Nude Dip #2 (LE, ) is lighter (90% similar). Too Faced Classy and Sassy (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). MAC Fortune Kookie (LE, $17.00) is less shimmery, lighter (90% similar). ColourPop Ego (DC, $4.50) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). Urban Decay Dive (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). ColourPop My Way (LE, $4.50) is darker (90% similar). City Color Homecoming Queen (P, $6.99) is more shimmery (90% similar). Too Faced Adore (PiP, ) is less shimmery (90% similar). Anastasia B2 (Norvina Vol. 1) (LE, $12.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). ColourPop La-La (P, $6.00) is warmer (90% similar). Natasha Denona Bronze (P, $28.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). Too Faced Iced Coffee (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). Viseart Truffle (PiP, ) is less shimmery (90% similar). Chanel Laurier Rose (127) (LE, $34.00) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (90% similar). Make Up For Ever D708 Pinky Copper (DC, $21.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Top 20 dupes listed, see the rest. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

These are pretty, although they aren’t shades that I need. I think it complements the L’Amour, Toujours L’Amour palette by adding a couple of warmer shades, which many people would probably like.
They are! Basic but I could see it being a go-to for some, totally skippable for others!
Oh, this is such a pretty duo! I’m a sucker for rose-y metallic shades.
Me too! They’re really pretty.
That right color in the duo is just so pretty. I am a sucker for colors like that. Glad to see this duo wasn’t an epic fail.
😀 It is nice when things perform well!
So very dupeable .. probably for most peeps actually. But I will be grabbing other products from the collection.
It’s one of those products that once you have a few of, it’s hard to get interested in another, but if you have none yet, this is a good one to try!
I like it! But have too many dupes for the second rose-gold color.
Guess it’s for those just getting into makeup now 😀
Pretty. But,I think most people have this duped. Skipping.
Most likely!
Nice, but whoa, $35 is a lot for 2 very dupe-able shadows
Totally understand 🙂
Really, really pretty, but I have dupes.
Sounds like this is most of us!
So refreshing that Nars has put out some good quality shadows for this spring, but they are also extremely easy to dupe! I already own MAC Bamboo (MAC is DC’g it, so they say) and Lorac Unbelievable. Bamboo could work very nicely with the Unzipped palette, I’m thinking!
It is nice to see! I still can’t believe Bamboo is getting the axe!
Me either!? And I never see Haux out on the displays anymore, so I’m getting nervous about that shade, too.
I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t have many similar shades in my stash. However, there is a reason for that-these just don’t work for me, so I will be skipping this duo. I’m glad to see NARS adding warmer shades to the family, though!
That makes sense – if these shades don’t work for you, I’m not surprised you don’t have lots of dupes either!
Pretty duo! Very flattering and fool-proof 🙂
It is!
This reminds me of a somewhat pinker version of the Kalahari duo, which I like but this one just doesn’t do it for me.
It seems like that’s how a lot of readers are feeling on this one!
Aw Was hoping hammamet right to be dupe of outer limits
Aww, bummer!
Looks like a nice workhorse product, won’t be getting it but it’s nice to know it’s there, it’d be good if this was made permanent.
I agree – it is nice to know it’s there!
Pretty, the shimmery one is really nice. I do have dupes though.
Glad you have dupes 🙂
Even though I have so many dupes for these shades because they are so basic I’m thinking this might be genius for me. Nars duo’s ( HA! My tablet kept trying to force the word audacious after the word Nars. Can we say obsessed boys and girls? Because I AM obviously lol) are so small it would slip right into the back zipper part inside my purse where my little travel brush set lives. On days I run out of time and have to leave my house before the eyeshadow part of my routine it would be so easy to slip off and do a quick look with this duo. I think I just sold it to myself 🙂 Total fast, easy, no-brainer workhorse!
Sounds like it’ll be the perfect duo for you Bonnie 🙂
Too warm for me but very pretty! It’s like All About Eve 2.0!
I can see what you mean by that!
You know you’re an addict when you have some dupes but still want it
Aww! 🙂
They really are pretty, but I feel like I do own a lot of similar shades already.
I hear ya 🙂
Isn’t this a bit similar to St. Paul de Vence?

I am totally in love with this duo! Perfect for a simple, everyday routine.
Yay!
