Very sheer, powdery. Pretty colour, lasting power is average.

Super disappointing given the great reviews. Way too sheer and not blend-able. Just doesn't show up. Back to MAC Satin Taupe which is glorious and buildable (not sheer like this). The great...

I originally wanted MAC satin taupe but I felt like exploring another line instead. This is my first NARS single shadow and I'm happy to say I have a hit on my hands. A nice complex dusty...

I firts tried Ashes to Ashes YEARS ago when a NARS SA in NYC picked it for me. Even pigment and good color payoff - neautral brownish taupe with a bit of a purpley-greay cast to it. (Hope that...

It's good not great but good. I've been so obsessed with my UD Naked pallete I forget I have this unless I put it out on display. It's my first "single" NARS shadow. I have only had duo eye shadow...

I used this years ago and I'm so glad I bought it again. The colour is very well crafted greyish taupe with purple undertones. None of those colours lead as they are mixed so beautifully. The...

Goes on sheer on me and maybe I'm just cheap but it bothers me they don't throw in an applicator like Chanel or Dior. On me, the kicker is it's an exact dupe of Wet 'n Wild's Color Icon in Nutty! ...

This eyeshadow is great! It is finely milled with no fallout which makes it feel silky smooth. The color is a mix between grey, brown and purple. Very nice quality!

Amazing color! I wear this in the crease with MAC shroom on the lid, simple fast and amazing. I bought this as a replacement for MAC le Botanical es and I think I like ashes to ashes better! Blends...

Amazing colour: sort of a greyish pink/purple taupe. Can be used as either a crease shade or an all-over wash during the day or night (may be too smokey for casual jean days). Application was...

Perfect, buildable, subtle but beautiful color (and foolproof) for everyday eye look. I can use it alone and feel done. I like that it's not crazy pigmented--sometimes I like to control how much I...

As a dyed-in-the-wool taupe aficianado and proud owner of 14 taupes, each with a lively little personality of its own, I knew in my practical, logical brain that I did not need another. But alas,...

This is my first ever NARS eye shadow. I am impressed. It has great pigmentation and goes on so smoothly. It is darker than Style Snob by MAC and lighter than Satin Taupe, but in that same color...

Ashes to Ashes is exactly what I'd hoped MAC's Satin Taupe would be, although it is a bit lighter. I seem to be in the minority, but I could not get Satin Taupe to work for me. It was so incredibly...

Returned this. It's VERY similar to Satin Taupe. Swatched side by side there's only a slight difference. It didn't apply as smooth as satin taupe and blended into a splotchy mess. I was so excited...

This NARS shadow is absolutely fantastic. I don't think the other NARS e/s are worth the price, but this one does. It is a less shimmery version of satin taupe by mac, but yet it is slightly...
