Never tried Nars.. What should be my first buy?

[allThingsGirl]

NARS Torrid! Torrid! Torrid!

My favorite NARS blush of all time.

You have to check this one out when you are at the store.

Orgasm or Deep Throat blushes.

 

[Kuuipo]

I have used Orgasm and Deep Throat and they are way over rated. I prefer Sin,Sertao,Mounia,Angekika,and I thik a great first buy would be a palette from Sephora, or a couple multiples.
The current Palette has a big mirror,four very wearable popular eye shadows,four of their most popular lipsticks, and 2 multiples.
The loose powder is also a great buy,its very wearable. It doesn't sit in wrinkles,its not heavy or shiny-its lovely!
NARS is very big on layering products-like a powder blush atop a cream blush or powder eyeshadow over a frosty creme eyshadow (increases color depth and wearing time). Like MAC,its all about experimentation and creativity.

If you are a woman of color,Orgasm doesn't look that orgasmic on your skin probabley-taos or crazed or a more pigmented color would give a more believable "sex flush".

im obsessed with Nars! everything is amazing. i recently just got into their glosses and lipsticks

their blushes are failsafe and i love love love the eyeshadows. definetly worth the cash - theyre so silky smooth and pigmented and the duos come in amazing color combos.

Orgasm was my first purchase and it's a great blush <3

Mediteranee e/s duo is great if you like warm colors. It's a golden orange with a light golden beige and it looks reeeeally pretty on.

NARS lipglosses are the best! They don't really have a scent to speak of, but the colors are amazing, and they have great lasting power. They're also not sticky! I love NARS lipglosses. Could you tell?? ETA: If you do get Sin blush, a gloss that goes really beautifully with it is Gothika! It's quite possibly my favorite lip/cheek combo ever.

I agree, I own a number of Nars blushes, but SIN is my staple. Its a total sexflush color, and Orgasm really isn't. Sin looks good on warm and cool skins,its lovely. (I'm olive skinned,and it looks great too)

I also never saw the hype surrounding the Multiple. The blushes are the best product in the line and they last forever!

She is so right! Orgasm has become a cliche! It is so been there,done that,milk plain and safe.....Try Angelika,Outlaw,Oasis,Taos,Sertao,Sin....these are good blushes for pale skin and so lovely. And the multiples are fabulous! Try Maui as a blush and a lipstick.

Another vote for their blushes, I really love Orgasm and Sin. Orgasm is practically universally flattering!

ITA! My personal faves are Deep Throat, Sin and Sertao(I'm fair-skinned too).

Sin and Gothika are like peanutbutter and chocolate! I do the same thing. I hate orgasm,its so peachy orange! People buy it because of the name....Sertao would look good on her skin, and Eden powder. Their powder is ultra fantastic. I told someone when I die,creamate me and put me in a NARS loose powder container. That is a seriously great product,and I put it in little containers and carry it everywhere. It doesn't emphasize fine lines,and you can buff it down to the most delicate airbrush finish. Lipstickwise, a fair,warm person looks great in Honolulu Honey,Transiberian Express,Klute,Pigalle,Gipsy,Dolce Vita,and Tamango. These are good colors to start with,and are more on the opaque side.

I am new to NARS and think will start off with a blusher (which i desperately need) and will check them out. Thank you ladies so much for your input on this and helping us newbies out

 

[shortcake]

NARS Orgasm blush or the multiple in orgasm- my latest favorite product! The lipglosses are also great, and come in soo many shades. Sweet Dreams, Orgasm, Turkish Delight, and Giza are some of my favorites.

 

[MAC_Newbie]

The cream blushes are also amazing! I'm a fair skinned redhead and I love both Cactus Flower and Penny Lane. They're gorgeous!

 

[user79]

Another vote for NOT getting Orgasm as your 1st Nars item. It was my 1st item from Nars as well and it's just so so, imo. I think some of their other blushes are nicer!!

 

[Kuuipo]

Lovejoy is a blush that looks good on just about everyone.

 

[lovelyweapon]

I'm very biased towards Nars so I'd have to say you can't go wrong with most of their products, but definitely a blush or a multiple! I'd have to go with everyone and say Orgasm for your skintone. However, if I could choose only one product it'd definitely be their lip gloss in Turkish Delight! You seem to be describing a skin color similar to mine and that shade of pink really compliments my color. Good luck regardless!

 

[SparklingMissy]

Albatross! Its such an awesome highlighter!

 

[TUPRNUT]

My very first product was Orgasm blush and I love it... the only downfall is that the shimmer in the product emphasizes my pores (which any shimmer blush will do). I just got Penny Lane cream blush and LOVE it!
