nars/benefit blush recommendations

[vivaXglamlove]

hi!

My mom is getting me some things from sephora for christmas and I'd like to get a blush from nars and Benefit.
And if you have any pictures or swatches that would be such a big help!
I don't like dark or deep colors. If that helps
I'm an Nw15 with hazel eyes and black hair.

I think you will LOVE Benefit Dallas! It is sort of a highlighter/bronzer/blush in one since it has a tiny bit of shimmer, and is a warm deep rose blush color-- like if you naturally blush or get some sun. Since your skin is very fair, but your haircolor is dark, this color will be perfect for your complexion. I usually use MAC products, but this little gem is in my makeup bag front and center now!
NARS Orgasm is good, but I think you will want a bit more color than the peachy shimmer blush it delivers on fair skin--it is pretty, but with dark hair like yours, you can get away with some more color.
I know that Sephora is selling Dallas in a LE palette set with lip and eye color too. Haven't seen the set 'in person' yet, but the colors on the Sephora website look pretty neutral, and I think this will be one palette that won't disappoint!
Hope this helps, and good luck!!

I'm NC 20 and my NARS staple blushes are Sin and Deep Throat. I don't have my camera on me now, but I can do some swatches later if you like.

Should I get two nars blushes? Or should I stick with a nars blush and a benefit blush? They would equal the same

i personally like nars better than benefit [the blushes at least]

I hate to bump this again but I have more questions! I'm so lame
How close are Amour,orgasm, and deep throat?

i'm a huge nars fan (i haven't tried benefit yet, but i hear good things about dallas) but as an NC20 my favorite nars blushes include zen, sin and orgasm

nars orgasm is a must have LOL

*~*Nars Orgasm, Torrid, Deep Throat, Angelika, or Serato would all work for you. I *love* Nars blushes!!*~* ETA: I didn't realize this thread was a year 1/2 old!!! lol

The only Nars blush I have is Orgasm and I find that it looks really close to MAC's Margin blush which I already have too. I absolutely love Benefit!! I think for your skintone Dandelion, Dallas and Thrrob would work really well on you. And if you like a light peach flush on your cheeks Georgia blush is perfect!

There are some great swatches in the NARS section. I am loving Albatross, Oasis, Crazed, Penny Lane ,Sertao, and Luster. Luster is pretty much Orgasm with a kick to it (Orgasm is a really weak colour on the NARS scale).
