Best NARS blushes for dark skin???

[LatinaRose]

So far I've only tried Outlaw and I love it, not only b/c of the color, but the the texture and the way it applies. So smooth and silky, esp with 187 brush. I want to work my way up to a nice selection of Nars blush, so please help! What colors have y'all tried that look great? I feel the ever-popular Orgasm is a bit too light, but have any of you tried it? Anything non-shimmery from them??


Thanks lovelies!

mounia and crazed!

Exhibit-A is great. I also have Crazed and Taj Mahal, and like them a lot too.

Exhibit A is non shimmery. It's an intense color but is gorgeous when applied with the 187.

I have Taos, Lovejoy, Mounia and Taj Mahal.

Taos, Gilda and Gina are all very beautiful. I especially love Taos for the shimmer.

Here's Lula! A model I love to work with because of her very strong personality.
She's Cuban/African American wearing NARS blush, Taos.

As soon as I saw the hair-color she came to this shoot with, I knew I'd need something warm and sheer for her cheeks to keep it fresh. Her undertones are very yellow so the rose hue in it doesn't look too pink.

I have Crazed, but I plan on buying Taj Mahal and Exibit A (well unless the MAC Pro blush Devil is better!)

I doubt any blush can be better than NARS, but I plan on picking up the new MAC pro blushes too.

^ I agree. I love the color pay off. My faves are Nirvana, Taj Mahal and Exhibit A.

 

[AfricanaEyes]

That Taj Mahal is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I've got to go get it....especially since everyone seems to be giving it good marks!

 

[zdazzle]

Here's another vote for Exhibit A (I love, love, love this one) & Taj Mahal!

Yeah it is amazing. I was trying to dupe it with Px blush in Terracotta (which is also amazing, and I haven't found another color like it) and a Px highlighter, but I had to just break down and get it and I am glad I did. I just wish NARS products weren't so expensive becasue then I would try their lip sticks and lip glosses too.

taj mahal and the new milani blush in sunset shores is an exact match that is really the perfect dupe

 

[doniad101]

I really like Gilda, Gina, Crazed, Outlaw, Torrid, Taos and Turkish Red (cream). Desire and Mata Hari are nice but applied w/ a skunk brush lightly tapped inside of the blush and then applied in light layers for a desired look. Taj Mahal is really nice also. But Mounia is the prettiest on my NW45 skin tone.

Really?!!

My puppy ate my Taj Mahal blush...can you believe that? I woke up to a crunching noise...his whole snout (and my carpet) was orange. Girl, I was pissed.

Anyhoo I'm hesitant about buying another so I'm definitely going tp check out the Milani blush.

LMAO that is soo funny, but I would have been pissed.

I just received my Sephora order and wore Taj Mahal for the 1st time today. Is there another NARS color similar without so much shimmer? I love the orange/coral color

Not that I can think of - I really think the shimmer of Taj kind of disappears into the skin. Is it too much shimmer after application that worries you?

 

[erica_1020]

Yes I felt it was too shiny. But Friday I'll try a lighter hand. lol won't be getting dressed with makeup again until then

 

[Copperhead]

The ones I have and like are Taos, Exhibit A, Taj Mahal, Crazed, Sex, Desire. I think these are all the ones I have. I'm NC50, dark brown eyes, black hair.

 

[KeshieShimmer]

I'm the pround owner of Exibit A, I wanted Taj Mahal but Sephora didn't carry it, and Nordstroms was out of it.
