I love this eye shadow duo! It stays on all day without smudging even when I don't use a primer underneath. It can go on subtle enough for a beautiful day time look but if you apply a bit more of the dark brown you can work it into an evening/smokey eye. I love this duo because it is small enough I can toss it in my bag for touch ups and the packaging keeps it safe from cracking. It has always been my "old reliable" and I have yet to find another shadow that never disappoints.
