Here's my NARS input for NC44 skin

I LOVE Albatross and use it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Don't know how I lived without it before. Honestly, I feel incomplete without it.

Lovejoy is my staple blush. If all my blush colors disappeared I'd be ok as long as I had this one

I tried Torrid several times but could not make it work for me. It was too cool toned

I have Mounia and Crazed and still trying to make those work. I have problems with cool colors. But I like those two much more that Torrid

Taj Mahal and Exhibit A are gorgeous but you have to know how to apply it properly.

Cactus Flower is pretty but I have issues with the creme to powder. I don't care for the consistency and the way it applies

I also have Gilda, Gina, Taos, Ninotchka, Plaisir and a few others but i have not used them yet. Wait, I think I tried Taos.
Anyway, I bought them all during a NARS craze. Right now I keep reaching for beloved Lovejoy so the others are getting no love. LOL

In my traincase I have Taos and Exibit A.

After getting Taj Mahal and the Palm Beach Multiple I had to bump this thread.



I love Taj Mahal ( and the other powder blushes I own) but I love the Mutiple so much more. The texture so creamy. The multiple is convienent for people like me who are clumsy when it come to applying makeup. I haven't mastered the 15 minute face. On a regular day it takes me about 30-50 minutes (yes that long) to get my face on. With the multiple I don't need eyeshadow.

I can use it for the lips, cheeks and eyes. It gives me that glowy "my skin but better look". I think I might stop buying other powder blushes (after I get Gilda :p). I'm defintely not buying anymore Mac blushes. I will definitely order more of the multiples (ordering Malibu now) in the future.

Would Lovejoy be a pretty color for NW50?

I'm debating getting the Dolce Vita set...

If not, what would be the best NARS blush color for me?

Taj Mahal is a must, I personally prefer Taos to Exhibit A but they're both amazing colours. If you can get all three I would!

Yes! It's gorgeous!

NARS Gina is another fab shade! I bought it a few days ago and it's a lovely matte peach which still has a sheen to it despite it being matte. See swatches on my blog.

if you any of you love taj mahal youll love exhibit a. exhibit a is matte and adds a little colour to the cheeks. Mounia is also good and taos ( i hope i spelled that right ).

I think NARS blushes are beautiful their eyeshadows are nice too but their lipglosses.....................i cant stand the smell!!!! OMG i feel i might pass out when i smell their lipglosses. Does anyone else feel the same way or is it just me???

Omg!!!!! I am so loving NARS right now. Back in June, I bought the Modern Love Pallet - my first NARS eyeshadows. I love them and they are all wearable and beautiful. Great for neutral lovers. Last week, I decided to take the plunge and try their blushes since everyone always raves about them. I'm so happy I did. I ordered Taj Mahal, Taos, and Mounia. I got them yesterda and I love them swatched. I wore Taos today and I must say I never imagined blush making such a difference. I just kept looking at myself in the mirror saying wow. I think Taos is the dark skin (NW45/47) Orgasm. I can't wait to wear the others.

My Nars faves:
Albatross
Taj Mahal= this is so pretty on me and makes me look so lively. Def. good for anyday you feel blah. It's shimmery but no real glitter.
Torrid= warm peach on me and very natural with hint of fine glitter.
Gina= Orangish peach looks very natural on my cheeks. It's basically matte but, still glowy
Orgasm- Very pale warm peachy pink with shimmer. On my skin doesn't give a lot of color but its a very pretty pink highligher.
Lovejoy- Bronzy rose, kind of reminds me of MAC Format with a little more red.
Dolce vita- very pretty for fall/winter blush, deep berry color with no glitter.
Casino bronzer= non glitter bomb deep brown with golden shimmer. Can contour with or use as a regular bronzer.
Cactus flower- bright red with golden shimmer/glitter thats non greasy. I prefer Stila poppy to this one just because it's glitter free.

Eyes= Cordura duo, Balthazar duo
Lips= Sunset strip
Foundation color is Macao- very yellow caramel color. One of few foundation matches for me.

I am an NC42 and my NARs must haves in order of awesomeness are

1. Albatross - it really is as good as the hype
2. Torrid blush - the more glamourous coral blush, IMO better than the MAC coral blushes
3. Deep throat blush - IMO a darker version of Orgasm blush perfect for us melanin rich folk
4. Dolce vita lipgloss - dusty pink rose
 
Today I fell in love with Taj Mahal, beautiful! Im so glad I bought it, my first NARS product. I also swatched Dolce Vita which will probably be my second blush, its a beautiful deep rose, perfect for the fall time. And Cactus Flower was so beautiful, Im definetly getting that as well. I got some compliments after a messy swatch on my cheek

I officially LOVE NARS, its so well packaged as well. Worth the price

SO I went on a NARS binge this weekend....I bought Taos (love), Albatross, Torrid (love), Exhibit A, Dolce Vita (gonna be my everyday blush since its matte), Outlaw, Lovejoy...Wheewww, I went crazy LOL I'm thinkin I might return Lovejoy, it kinda blends in too much with my skin (NW45) and I like blush that shows up esp if I'm paying $25 a pop for it lol...Gonna play with it some more b4 i decide to return it or not...Kinda feel the same about Outlaw as well but I'll see. I was surprised to see that Torrid showed up so well on me
smiles.gif
...If I don't keep Outlaw and Lovejoy then I'm gonna order Crazed and Mounia from the NARS website

I'm like restraining myself from ordering them right now LOL After this I never have to buy blush ever again jejejeje
