So far I've only tried Outlaw and I love it, not only b/c of the color, but the the texture and the way it applies. So smooth and silky, esp with 187 brush. I want to work my way up to a nice selection of Nars blush, so please help! What colors have y'all tried that look great? I feel the ever-popular Orgasm is a bit too light, but have any of you tried it? Anything non-shimmery from them??

Thanks lovelies!

mounia and crazed!

Exhibit-A is great. I also have Crazed and Taj Mahal, and like them a lot too.

aziajs · 06-19-2007, 04:18 PM #4 (**permalink**)

Exhibit A is non shimmery. It's an intense color but is gorgeous when applied with the 187.

I have Taos, Lovejoy, Mounia and Taj Mahal.

Taos, Gilda and Gina are all very beautiful. I especially love Taos for the shimmer.

Here's Lula! A model I love to work with because of her very strong personality.
She's Cuban/African American wearing NARS blush, Taos.

As soon as I saw the hair-color she came to this shoot with, I knew I'd need something warm and sheer for her cheeks to keep it fresh. Her undertones are very yellow so the rose hue in it doesn't look too pink.

I have Crazed, but I plan on buying Taj Mahal and Exibit A (well unless the MAC Pro blush Devil is better!)

I doubt any blush can be better than NARS, but I plan on picking up the new MAC pro blushes too.

^ I agree. I love the color pay off. My faves are Nirvana, Taj Mahal and Exhibit A.

That Taj Mahal is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I've got to go get it....especially since everyone seems to be giving it good marks!

zdazzle · 06-20-2007, 02:29 PM #10 (**permalink**)

Here's another vote for Exhibit A (I love, love, love this one) & Taj Mahal!

Yeah it is amazing. I was trying to dupe it with Px blush in Terracotta (which is also amazing, and I haven't found another color like it) and a Px highlighter, but I had to just break down and get it and I am glad I did. I just wish NARS products weren't so expensive becasue then I would try their lip sticks and lip glosses too.

taj mahal and the new milani blush in sunset shores is an exact match that is really the perfect dupe

I really like Gilda, Gina, Crazed, Outlaw, Torrid, Taos and Turkish Red (cream). Desire and Mata Hari are nice but applied w/ a skunk brush lightly tapped inside of the blush and then applied in light layers for a desired look. Taj Mahal is really nice also. But Mounia is the prettiest on my NW45 skin tone.

Really?!!

My puppy ate my Taj Mahal blush...can you believe that? I woke up to a crunching noise...his whole snout (and my carpet) was orange. Girl, I was pissed.

Anyhoo I'm hesitant about buying another so I'm definitely going tp check out the Milani blush.

LMAO that is soo funny, but I would have been pissed.

I just received my Sephora order and wore Taj Mahal for the 1st time today. Is there another NARS color similar without so much shimmer? I love the orange/coral color

Not that I can think of - I really think the shimmer of Taj kind of disappears into the skin. Is it too much shimmer after application that worries you?

erica_1020 · 06-26-2007, 10:29 PM #18 (**permalink**)

Yes I felt it was too shiny. But Friday I'll try a lighter hand. lol won't be getting dressed with makeup again until then

Copperhead · 06-30-2007, 03:42 PM #19 (**permalink**)

The ones I have and like are Taos, Exhibit A, Taj Mahal, Crazed, Sex, Desire. I think these are all the ones I have. I'm NC50, dark brown eyes, black hair.

KeshieShimmer · 06-30-2007, 06:13 PM #20 (**permalink**)

I'm the pround owner of Exibit A, I wanted Taj Mahal but Sephora didn't carry it, and Nordstroms was out of it.

awhookie7 · 07-01-2007, 07:11 PM #21 (**permalink**)

I just bought Taj Mahal, but have not worn it yet. Could anybody give me an idea of what type of eyeshadows and lip colors would go with it? Thanks

Isn't it gorgeous? I actually love it more than Taj Mahal now.

It really goes with anything, esp. bronzes, corals, reds, anything really. I don't worry too much about matching or cordinating my blush with my eyes and lips, I just look for balance. So if you are doing something bold with the lips and eyes, I would leave Taj alone for that day. Hope that helped.

Hey, thank you for the suggestion! CVS was having a buy one Milani get one free sale and I picked Sunset Shores up, it's really a beautiful glowy color! I was kinda iffy about it because it's, well, orange, but the color is very flattering on my NC45 skin.

I don't know how it compares to Taj Mahal, but I don't like reaaaaally strong cheeks anyway so the Milani does fine.

Out of all the NARS blushes, the ones I want the most are Lovejoy and Sertao. I remember really liking Lovejoy when I tried it on at a store, but have never tried Sertao and would love to see it on someone else.

ETA: well, a Specktra.net search did wonders! now I want Sertao even more, wah.
