Besides the New Order Highlighting Blush Powder, another product that caught my eye from the NARS Summer 2011 collection was Dogon Duo Eyeshadow.
Described as a “metallic taupe with icy green sheen and a charcoal black”, this limited-edition duo is easily one of the best out there for the summer.
The warm taupe on the left side comes with a greenish/grayish sheen that reminds me of of MAC Vex Eyeshadow and MAC Sunpepper Pigment. When applied on its own, the color shows up just a little darker and warmer than my NC30 skin but the duochrome nature creates a beautiful highlighting effect that is totally to die for. If you put a darker base or the charcoal black color underneath, the color immediately turns to a shimmery hunter green that is equally gorgeous. The shadow also applied evenly with good pigmentation.
As for the charcoal black on the right side, it looks more like a deep blue with very fine green shimmer in the pan but shows up a matte black on me. Pigmentation is excellent and once blended, it fades to a beautiful smoky gray.

Is it same color as nars rajasthan?
I was also worried that they would be too similar but the taupe shade in Dogon is much cooler, and the other side is darker and greyer than Rajasthan’s.

2nd! The taupe shade in Dogon has green undertones and is much cooler than Rajasthan whereas the darker shade in Rajasthan is not as dark and shows up with a bit of blue undertones.
Hi, Phyllis.
What do you recommend for an eyeliner to line the waterline?
Are you looking for a pencil/gel/liquid liner?
Pencil…

MAC Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil
