I will try to remember to swatch on my arm, I am NC50 and put the pictures up if I can.

thanks soo much it would help me out alot !

I hope this come out clear. Dolce Vita looks like a bruise on my arm to me. But is pretty and natural.

 

[na_pink]

that is a pretty flushed colour, i didnt think it would look so pink

I am so thankful that you started this thread.

I went from knowing nothing about NARS to being in love with their blushes. I bought my first one (taj mahal) and now i am forming a list of all the others that I must have.

I really like it better (so far) than MAC blush. It the weirdest thing and i can't put my finger on why....but I think NARS will be my new thing. I'm going to swap out some MAC shadows to get more NARS. LOL.

Yay! Let us know what you get and how you like it.

What about Zen? How does that show in WOC?

 

[captodometer]

Zen did not show up on me.

i'm a NC45 and while i don't have 8, the NARS blushes that I currently have are:
Taj Mahal~

~ my favorite
Taos
Lovejoy
Crazed

 

[jilliandanica]

I don't have 8 either but I do have:
Albatross
Plaisir (DC'd)
Crazed
Orgasm
Sin
Taos (on it's way from a swap)

I totally agree that NARS blushes are WAYYY better than MAC's but I still have a lot of MAC's blushes and 2 of their new Mineralize ones (Pleasantry and Warm Soul) I absolutely LOVE Warm Soul, but I was wondering if there was a NARS dupe of it? Luster or Zen maybe? Also looking for a dupe for Merrily.

Oh and I'm NC42ish/Medium Dark MSFN

[pretebrowneyes]

ok, so what would you ladies say is a good blush to start with? Taos is looking like a winner for me.

I started with Taj Mahal and was very pleased.

But it depends on the look that you will be going for (peachy, pinky, coral, etc,.)

Taj mahal gives me a pretty orangey-peach glow depending on how heavy a hand that I use.

Taos is great. It's like MAC's d/c'd Variety blush but with better texture and color pay off. I think it's a winner.

I don't own some (yet heehee) but I've tried a bunch of colors when I went to the counter (the MA was SOOO nice to me even though she knew I was just there to get a new albatross). I really loved Torrid and Zen the most.

 

[na_pink]

Okay ladies just to keep you updated, i went to pay for my NARS blushes on paypal and it gave me an error. Still awaitin an email from them > I decided I may go to Canada and go to a Sephora there and try on my blushes my damn self (must be a reason paypal isnt taking my money).. So will update y'll ladies further in the month ANDDD take swatches !

 

[makeba]

i went to sephora to try these babies out and for the life of me could not find one that suited me. i am so jealous of yall that it works for! damn it. some were just to bright and others were to shimmery. i want a nice earthy matte color. i thought lovejoy would work but it looks like sweet as cocoa by mac and i have it. maybe i should just get lovejoy and exhibit a and give it a go becuz of all the goodness i hear about the texture!!!

Exhibit A is a great color and not shimmery, just use it lightly and build on it if you need more color. I love Dolce Vita and it is a soft matte color also.

Hands down NARS blushes are better, no question about it...they last all day...still vibrant, still hot...the darker the skin she has more options to go for at the counter! In my op: NARS... MAC has NOTHING on NARS BLUSHES!
