Hey guys, got a quick question. I'm NW45 and I am looking to get a good gold colour from NARS. I was looking at Mediteranee and Balthazar. How do the lighter colours compare. Is the lighter colour from Mediteranee really gold, or is it pretty light and is the lighter colour from Balthazar a yellow gold?

Thanks a lot!

I got the Striptease/Dolce Vita l/g duo for free from Sephora so I'll post my review of it after I try the 2 colors.

like so many others I love NARS Taj Mahal...it is an absolutely gorgeous color. ladies, do not be intimidated by the way it looks in the pan, the key is to use a light hand. i know a lot of WOC don't care for Super Orgasm, but i actually love the way it looks on my skin, it's a very subtle peach/pink and i love the sparkle of the gold glitter.

NARS concealer in Praline is my go-to product. the texture is amazing!

i just purchased Albatross a couple of weeks ago and haven't used it much, but I'll definitely be using it more since everyone has such great things to say about it.

I got torrid, Taj Mahal, taos, Gilda, exhibit a, Mounia, and desire I love them, next on my list is Amour, crazed, and Gina.

Okay, I hate the l/g. The colors are decent/average, but the product stinks & tastes like crap! Eeew!

I just got Cactus Flower cream blush and Crazed blush. High pigmentation amazing payoff. A light hand is the best way to go with these. I will also cosign to anyone getting anything from the Night series. I also got my hands on Night Porter. If you are a smokey eyed girl you will love it, I think you will love it even if you arent. I'm definately getting a few more of them.

Has anyone tried the new Nars Orgasm Illuminator yet? I just ordered it (and WAY too much other stuff) from Sephora on Monday and I can't wait for my shipment!

 

[krijsten]

Got some new Nars today..

I like
The "night" e's
Bloodwork L/G!
Orgasm Blush!

Love pretty much all of it. I'm looking into getting the Sheer Glow foundation but Idk yet!

 

[Kragey]

I love NARS for the blushes. I use Orgasm the most on my models, but while it works great on fair-to-medium skin, I feel like it fades to nothing but a bit of sparkle on darker ladies. When I get a truly dark-skinned model, I switch to Deep Throat for a natural look, or Taj Mahal and Exhibit A for more vibrant looks.

I'm an NC50, and both Gina and Gilda show up on me very well..I wear Gina almost everyday.

I just wanted to say that I picked up Taos this past weekend and it is gorgeous. I reminds me of Love Joy, but with a burnt red or orange in it and it is a lot more pigmented. I just have to tap my 169 in it once for one cheek. It's lovely!

Ive added

These have all been said already, but the blushes are perfect for WOC, because the pigment actually shows! I have Albatross, Torrid, Taos, Exhibit a, Mounia, Constantinople and Guele de Nuit. I wish they would make a fuchsia blush. The liquid eyeliners used to be very good too, but been discontinued.
