The Casino is dark, but you only need a little. It is more brown than the Laguna. The Laguna is a bit more orange. I do think Nars is pricey, but the blushes are awesome. The colors are all beautiful & intense. A little goes a long way. If you want to splurge somewhere, do it with the duos. Both these colors come as singles too. Casino is great on darker skins for a bronzer and for you would work good for a contour I think I would definitely swatch it up and see. Laguna would definitely be too light its more for the Fair to light medium, while Casino is medium to dark skin tones.
There’s a 100% chance that I’m wearing pajamas in these pics. ?
