Pros
I've been using this product for several years now. The deep shading is great.
Cons
There's nothing particularly wrong with it. The case does tend to get a bit worn out after long-term use, though.

Pros
Applying it lightly only to the back part of the eyelid creates a beautiful shadow effect and a nice line. This is the most beautiful way to use it. The color is truly gorgeous even just by looking at it, and the quality is different from drugstore brands... There's a reason why the expensive ones are worth it.
Cons
It's a bit more pigmented than expected, so you really need to apply it well to use it as a shading color. I highly recommend it for those who suit smoky eyes!

Pros
This item is perfect for me, as I only do subtle makeup. I thought it would be quite intense, but it provides just the right amount of emphasis.
Cons
Other than the somewhat high price due to the brand name, there are no other downsides.

Pros
The Galapagos has become my life essential!🍑 I wonder why I hesitated so much ㅜㅜ I bought it online for less than the retail price, and the color, durability, and everything else were great. I'm a cool-toned person, but I was a bit worried about the warm gold tone. Since gold is often too warm in other places, right? But when I applied it, the gold shimmer wasn't too noticeable, and it blended in nicely, luckily! The eyeshadow application is the best, and it's also great for creating shadows around the eyes👍🍑 ++There's really little fallout..so good I'm the type who doesn't spend much on brushes, so I use an affordable Aritaum brush, and there's really no fallout! The eyeshadow quality is as good as the price👍 I think I'll keep using it from now on!
Cons
**The price..the evil volume and price..** But I can't not buy it..(it's too pretty..) **The case material has no practicality** And as you use it, the case gets really dirty ㅜ The outer material is not plastic It's a bit matte velvet-like? It seems they changed the outer surface to a soft, fuzzy material during the renewal, and while it looks premium at first, when you carry it around in a pouch, it gets dirty easily ㅜㅜ
Tip
It's great for applying shadow just on the lash line, and it matches well with any color!

Pros
1) Color : The combination of burgundy and gold shimmer is so beautiful, it's great for adding depth. 2) Case : It's small and thin, perfect for carrying around in a pouch. 3) Color Payoff : The color payoff is great, it looks beautiful both subtly and intensely.
Cons
1) Since it's mainly for lining, you'll need a dedicated brush for it. 2) It's too intense to apply all over the eyelid, it's best suited for lining. 3) As someone with a fair, cool-toned complexion, it tends to appear quite reddish on me.

Pros
The color looks quite different from how it actually applies. At first, I found it strange that everyone seemed to like and buy this kind of heavy color. I thought it would be a dark, intense shade that I wouldn't use often. But after trying it out in person, it was completely different from what I expected. While it may look heavy-duty, you can actually create natural-looking gradients and shadows by adjusting the application. The shimmer is visible on the surface, but it doesn't stand out too much on the skin. For those of us who mainly stick to basic makeup, this could be a must-have item to have in your collection. When you want to really make your eyes pop, you can apply it more heavily and broadly.
Cons
I think you'll need a dedicated brush for this. The color is quite intense, so if you use the same brush for other eyeshadows, the colors will end up getting mixed together.

Pros
The shaded shadows are great for recommending line removal or gradation.
Cons
The blending doesn't work well, so it seems more suitable for lines or line gradation than shadows.

Pros
This is the best eyeshadow. When applied to the contour area, it creates a luminous and beautiful effect that makes the person look sophisticated. It's the best!
Cons
There's really nothing disappointing about it. You can use it for a long time since a little goes a long way.

Pros
This is a really recommended item...When you apply eyeshadow, your eyes look puffy and stuffy, but with this, you can open up your eyes and fill in the triangular area, and your eyes really don't look stuffy and look more sophisticated!! I really recommend it.. I never use brown-toned eyeshadows, but this one is highly recommended!
Cons
So far, there are no disappointing points, I'm very satisfied!
Tip
It's great for smudging eyeliner!

Pros
There is absolutely no fallout and the longevity is amazing....The tiny gold flecks may seem a bit daunting at first, but that was my own mistaken perception. Upon closer inspection, you can barely see the shimmer! It's a multifunctional product - you can use it as an eyeliner and it's gorgeous for eyeshadow too! The color payoff is truly incredible... It's the best from NARS, unlike some more affordable options, the color is just unbeatable.
Cons
I purchased the recently renewed version, and while the previous version was 2.2g, the renewed one is only 1.1g. Yet the price only went down from 36,000 to 32,000 won - is this for real? It's not even half the price, just a 4,000 won decrease... NARS is so great, but the pricing is outrageous.
Tip
Everything else is great, I just love it hahaha except for the price. NARS, please, the price point...
