Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating :  - Fabulous high quality, beautifully pigmented blushes THAT LAST!
These are so exquisitely milled and pigmented that it's not irritating to my sensitive skin. I also only need a very little to make my cheeks pop, so it lasts and lasts.
ORGASM may be the holy grail of blusher for many fairer women, but I'm an NC44 Latina (med-dark olive tone) and that color would not make a showing on me. I did find that two colors have become my staple blushes.
For warm-tone days, I use EXHIBIT A, a matte blush that is scary in the pan (so brightly orange-red) that most women would think "Bozo the Clown". No, it works beautifully on my tone, brightening me (we olive toned women can look sallow and blah without a color pop). Fabulous.
For cool days (and by cool I'm talking my color choices for clothes and lipstick, not weather), I like MATA HARI. It's a matte cool pink tone that is deep enough to show on my cheeks and give me a look that says "Healthful" or "just went for a quick jog and has blood circulating well". Nice.
I plan to try CRAZED and TAOS, which seem to be shimmery cousins to my two faves (ie, one is warmer, one is cooler).
I think the thing is to head to a store like Sephora and just try the shades. With the array of beautiful colors, you will find a couple or more colors that make you feel and look great.
NOTE: You really need a quality brush to get just enough pigment and deposit not too much pigment. That's my recommendation. These blushes do not come with little cheapo rough brushes like so many do. No, get a good blush brush--a MAC one, or a Sephora, etc. I use the MAC duo-fiber brush, smaller one, and it works very well with these strong shades.
Yes, pricey. But I've gone through so many disappointing blushes in drugstore brands and even from some name brands, that it's a relief to find blushers that WORK for me and make me happy and don't make me itch!
Hurrah for NARS.
