Nars Blush Collection + Swatches

I have a large blush collection so I thought I would start off by sharing with you my Nars collection. I really enjoy Nars blushes. They are nicely pigmented but when used with the right brush can either be very soft or you can build up to a lot of color. I have fair skin and all of these colors work well for me. Nars has a nice variety of shimmer, satins, and mattes in their blush collection. I think I have a nice variety here to show you as well. Nars blushes retail for $28 USD. You can purchase them at Sephora or on Nars website.

Sin

This is my go to color for Fall and Winter. I think this color works well for fair skin as well as darker skins. It is a really pretty plum color. Sephora describes it as a berry with gold shimmer. I don't see the gold shimmer in this and I don't like too much shimmer in my blushes for everyday. This is a must have color. 

Gina

For some reason this color isn't sold on the Sephora website so I'm not sure if they aren't making this color anymore. I had heard good things about this color and so I picked it up but never reach for it. It has orange undertones with some peach. It's a pretty color for Summer but not sure if I love it or not. I think I just need to give it more of a chance. This is a matte blush.

 

Deep Throat

This is another must have color in anyone's collection. I really think that this color can be worn year round. This is describes on Sephora as peach with shimmer. Again the shimmer is very light in this. When I think of shimmer I think of Orgasm. This has more of a pretty sheen. 

 

Madly

This is a more recent purchase. I kind of really like these neutral colors for everyday. This is a nice neutral for summer. This is described as a soft seashell pink and is a shimmer. This is a blush that you don't have to worry about going overboard on with too much color. This just makes me look healthy and gives me some nice color. 

Sex Appeal

This color only would work well on fair skin people as it is very light. It is very powdery but I love this color on my cheeks. It's good for those days where I don't like to look like I am wearing blush. I don't hear a lot about this color but I'm really glad I have it in my collection. It is a pale peachy/pink color. I think that this color seems matte. 

Orgasm 

And what would be a nars blush post without talking about orgasm. I stupidly depotted this from a Nars palette that I had with included Laguna and Albatross. I still have Albatross but used up the Laguna bronzer. This is a nice summer color for at night. I don't reach for this as much during the day. I think this has way too much gold shimmer in it for me to wear everyday. This is described as a peachy/pink with shimmer. A lot of gold shimmer for sure. I do think that this blush is a little overatted but I like the color.

I still have on my wishlist Doceur and Gaeity. Do you have any Nars blushes? What are some of your favorites or ones that are on your wishlist?
