8... wow... Uh... I can give you three

I have Lovejoy (this = love)
I want to get
Albatross
Orgasm (I think, it's the pink with gold shimmer that makes a great highlighter)

I find blush more interesting as highlighters than as cheek color. That's why I was so shocked when I fell in love with Lovejoy which is a great cheek color.

Except that NARS blushes are better than MAC, so I'd go with the NARS ones.

I live in a place where we have limited MAC blush colours ... so I doubt I would find those

If your looking for feminine and pretty go for taos. Also i had to add that Nars blushes and so much better than Mac's they are so pigmented and havea better texture.

Thanks sweetie , def getting Taos

I have Mounia and Taj Mahal, just bought Luster as a highlight (better than albatross for my skin tone b/c it's not as white) and I'm going to get Mata Hari for that cotton candy pink look. But now I hear of Taos...hmmm (I told myself I was going to stop with the NARS blushes after Mata Hari, but maybe 5 is the magic number...

ITA!! MAC blushes don't have anything on NARS. NOTHING!! I personally have and love:
Taj Mahal
Lovejoy
Albatross
Luster
Sertao
Casino Bronzer

I had crazed and sold it. It is pretty but wasn't really my cup of tea. I do want to get Silvana though.

 

[pretebrowneyes]

this is an awesome topic. I'm getting a Sephora giftcard with my Visa Rewards...and I'm going STRAIGHT to the NARS blush spot. My only NARS product right now is Orgasm multiple...but I can't wait to add. And I love blush so these will be my besties, lol

 

[Blushbaby]

I'm an NC50 and have Taj Mahal, Crazed and Sin. I think i might treat myself to either Torrid or Taos.

[MisaMayah]

Do you darker skinned ladies prefer NARS to MAC blushers? Just asking because my friend is about nw40-45 and she thinks MAC is crap for her dark skin but im convinced i can make it work for her!

I'm NW45 and I don't have a problem with MAC blushes, they've got a great range of colors, I just prefer NARS blushes.

 

[cocodivatime]

Why do you all say NARS blush is better than MAC? Now I wanna try them? How much are they?

Twinkle , how does Love Joy show up on your skintone ? It looks really dark on the website ?
Im looking for a nice bronzish golden brown for an everyday look at work. One that shows I have on something on my cheeks... (Nars is too damn expensive to be looking neutral)

The bolded is true. Lovejoy is a nice coppery, peachy warm shimmer. It's not chock full of color though. I like it layered over other blushes, perhaps something more matte.

They are more pigmented and have a great texture. They are more expensive though - $25. But worth it, especially some of the more unique colors.
