NARS Blush, Exhibit A

When searching for appropriate colors in nars blush for my skin tone it wasn't so easy! So I'm writing this not only to review these blushes but as a color guide to anyone with a medium dark complexion. It's important not to go too light because the blush WILL look chalky or there will be no color payoff. So far these colors have been most flattering 1. Mata hari Matte mauve pink. Gorgeous for everyday adds a natural looking flush to the cheeks. It is lighter than MAC slave to love blush which was one of my old favorites before I tried NARS! 2. Taos Described as a dusty rose, but has coral tones on my skin tone. Has some shimmer but not very noticeable once applied to the skin. This one is very long lasting. Nice for brightening up your day...and your complexion! 3. Taj mahal Looks very gold in the pan but adds such a pretty warmth to the cheeks that's a little shimmery and lit from within. There are many ravs about this blush on beauty blogs and YouTube and its true! 4. Desire A scary bright bright bright pink in the pan but also very good quality giving cheeks the natural flush you crave for everyday. I've also seen this one on deeper skin tones and it still looks natural and flattering 5. Love joy I was wondering if this would show up or just look like shimmer on my skin. After application it was a brownish berry color with slight shimmer and the blush I choose when I'm doing a strong smoky or colorful eye look. Looks very natural on my skin tone. Can't really be used to contour because it has the berry tone. The nars site describes this of a bronzed rose but on skin tones similar to mine would be berry toned. 6. Exhibit A I've seen this on light medium and deep skin tones and it is widely flattering! Turns more red than orange on my skin but can look more orange on you depending on your undertones. Every woman should have this one in their arsenal. Some people believe this gives the most natural looking flush of all. It also photographs really well and looks good on video! Lol :) Start your collection with any one of these if you're skin tone is similar to mine. NARS blush is one of the best blush brands out there I encourage you to try at least one even thought they have a higher price point. They are very pigmented and last a long time too! Edit I have grown my collection! Torrid : a peachy shimmer....you would not believe how beautiful this is on my cheek...that lit from within look! Sin: glowy mauvy cheeks very beautiful. Also gorgeous on lighter skin tones to my own Dolce vita: with a very light hand i can pull this one off. A little harder to blend than the others Amour: my new go to everyday color. Very beautiful and natural on my complexion. Probably the orgasm or deep throat for deeper complexions. I'm a mac nc43 btw. My love affair with nars continues.....

NARS Blush in Exhibit A is a bold, statement-making product that lives up to its iconic reputation. The vibrant red-orange hue may seem intimidating in the pan, but it blends beautifully on the skin, creating a natural, radiant flush. Its finely milled formula is highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way—perfect for building up the intensity you prefer. The long-lasting wear ensures your cheeks stay luminous throughout the day. The sleek, compact packaging with a built-in mirror makes it ideal for touch-ups on the go. Exhibit A is a standout choice for those who love daring, warm-toned blushes!

This blush is FABULOUS. I am in love with the NARS lip pencils and have been searching for a great red blush for a while. I was hesitant to try this but sooooo glad I went for it. I apply this on top of a thin layer of bronzer (although looks equally amazing with just foundation) and it looks gorgeous. I use a stippling duo fiber brush and literally just tap the brush on the palette and that's all you need! It is so pigmented I feel as if this pan will last for ages! And the color is amazing. Not to red, but a great pretty flush. Blends easily. Not too pink. JUST RIGHT. I am light to medium skin toned and it looks great. I have gotten several compliments since purchasing and now I wear this almost every day. :) THANK YOU NARS.

Very pretty and pigmented on dark skin.

I love this blush so much! It is very pigmented, so use a light hand and build as you need. I also love that it is fully matte since I’m oily. A light coverage of this blush gives your face a nice flush. Add a little more like I do and pair with a red lip—so pretty! I wear this pretty much every day since I usually wear a red lip. But this could look nice with other lip colors or just give yourself a natural reddish glow.
