NARS Sex Appeal Blush 4.8g

Product Information

I’ve declared my undying love for NARS on many occasions, but they really are one of my favourite higher end beauty brands alongside Too Faced and Urban Decay. I absolutely love NARS blushes, and these do not disappoint, perhaps with the exception of Zen which I struggled to swatch well, mainly because it’s pretty much the same colour as the skin on my arm. I’ll need to try it on my face, but I can’t see it being very ‘blushy’. I think if you are wanting to go super-nude, it could work really well. About the brand: François Nars, a French makeup artist and photographer, established Nars Cosmetics in 1994. The brand is notable for its fashionable color ranges, sumptuous textures, and refined designs. About My Skin: Dry (and often made up) All these blushes laid out together is like serious eye candy. This was such a fun and satisfying swatching session! What shades are in the NARS Blush Collection?

My favourites are Behave, Dominate, Savage, Aroused and Orgasm X. Tom Ford actually have a blush called Savage that I love, but it’s actually nearer to the NARS Tempted shade, although not totally dissimilar. NARS Savage is gorgeous and coppery. NARS Behave & Dominate Behave,Dominate,Coeur Battant,Tempted andSavage: NARS Blush Behave, Dominate, Coeur Battant, Tempted & Savage SwatchesWe appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when The powder feels so silky and soft for a matte blush, and it’s absolutely foolproof as it’s pale so you can build up the colour intensity without any worries of looking like a clown. Behave is a prettiest, easy to apply and wear matte, whereas Dominate will require a lighter hand. It will look beautiful loaded on to the eyes with matching cheeks. Blush is one of my favorite makeup products. I adore how a splash of color on my cheeks can draw attention to my features and make me seem more awake. Whether I'm going for a full-on glam look or a more natural appearance, blush is always a must. At the moment, I have about five blushes, ranging from powders to creams, that I use interchangeably. Most of my preferred options have at least a touch of shimmer, which I love—the more radiance, the better. For the Nars Liquid Blush, I tried the shade Torrid, a warm coral with golden shimmer.

The blushes come with an handy mirror within the lid, and the lid closes really well and securely, and I’ve never had any issues with my NARS Blushes breaking or getting damaged so they’re perfect for popping in your makeup bag. It is absolutely a color and product that will work better on very, very pale skin tones. On my medium complexion, it just barely shows up, and it may turn chalky/ashy on deeper skin tones because of the light base color. For lighter skin tones, though, especially those with natural redness occurring in their cheeks, this will work quite nicely. The importance here is that the pigmentation is still good, as it appears true-to-pan; it’s just that the color won’t show itself to its full potential on my complexion. (Pale readers who’ve tried this, speak out!)Aroused is a beauty – I love a deep berry blush and the satin finish is beautiful. And finally I think Orgasm X is going to be a real winner. It is such a stunning intense coral with Orgasm’s signature gold. I want to wear it on my eyes too. I like to use a fluffy brush such as the Real Techniques Blush Brush and lightly dust it over the apples of my cheeks and it looks so natural and like my skin, and not at all like a blush.
