NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
I just got Luster blush today. Heres a picture of it next to sertao (left) and orgasm (right). Its much darker than sertao on, even though sertao looks darker in the pan. It is a peachy bronze, and has no pink like orgasm. I will add to the thread as i get more products from holiday collection.

Re: NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
It looks like Sertao mixed with Deep Throat. Its a warm,golden rose.The MA at NM Honolulu only had a display,but she's reserving one for me when they release them over here.

Re: NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
No, it really is like Sertao plus Outlaw. If you are warm complected-this is totally hot.

Re: NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
I'm NC40 (foundation) and it shows up on me i just have to use a really dense brush. I like the subtle blush look on me anyway ( i have rosacea-but its under control so its not like my face is bright red unless im having a flare up). It is a little less shimmery than orgasm

Re: NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
so I went to a different sephora and played with Luster again. it shows up a little bit today but I need to use heavy hand... I guess the peach tone is too close to my skin tone(just like Orgasm never works for me), but it did give me a really nice glow. I also tried Sertao and I was suprized that Sertao is actually works better and shows up as bronzer, it is more gold than Luster. So guess what, I want to get Luster so bad and end up bring home Sertao.

Re: NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
I have to have it even though it is very similar to Sertao,wich i already own.I think it,s the same dilemma with Orgasm and Deep throat,both are very similar but at the same time they are also different and worth having on hand.

Re: NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
I am totally lemming this blush now! Thought I'd bump this thread to see if anyone has any more thoughts on this. Would this work on ultra fair skin? My skin is lighter than MAC NC15...I don't want to have that "dirty face" look...sometimes brown toned blushes tend to do that on me.

Imo it looks great on very fair skin. It gives a soft apricot glow, not really brown. Sort of a light sunkissed look, not really tan, but warm and glowing.

Re: NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
Luster is good on fair skin. Its got more rose than Sertao,more gold, Sertao has more bronze. They look great with Albatross. If you like these shades you will like Torrid too. Torrid is a touch less warm. They all look spectacular on Asian and Latina skins.

Re: NARS Luster blush Holiday 2007
Luster is gorgeous! I have over 20 NARS blushes and I wear this one almost every day! I thought it would be WAY too orange but once I tried it, its is the perfect apricot glow. This is definitely an HG for me!

We're about the same colouring.
I have Lustre and I don't particularly love it - sometimes it looks amazing, but most of the time it looks just fractionally too brown-based. If I do use it, it tends to be just to kick up under the apple of the cheek with a brighter, lighter shade swept over the apple itself.
In my eyes there are better apricot blushes out there.
