Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
Ohh, NARS is the *only* other h/e line I would spend money on (aside from the ONE Chanel Glossimer I own - Unity).
I still prefer the pigmentation and quality of MAC any day over NARS but some of my favs are:
Surabaya e/s duo
Crazed, Torrid and my every day HG, Deep Throat blushes. I think I want to try a really pinky pink one, but not Mata Hari which I found to go on ashy on me.
I also liked their loose powder.
I'm looking forward to getting the new Dolce Vita set with the Lovejoy/Albatross duo. I also heard about a Torrid/Albatross duo but it's a Neiman Marcus exclusive.

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
I think I'm going to have to get the Dolce Vita set for my friend, she's NC40. I tried the Albatross blush on her and it made her glow.
That is, of course, after I get one for myself. BAM!

Whooha, somebody loves NARS! LOL. I have a question though. I've had a hard time finding a match with their foundations. Do you think there is one for an NC45?

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
I love Lovejoy blush. I wear it daily
As for lipsticks, Red Lizard, Pigalle, and Dolce Vita hands down are my most frequently worn lipsticks. I own some others by Nars but I keep going back to those.
Nars has amazing pigment. I look forward to playing even more with the collection.

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
Their blushes are probably the best in the industry (in my opinion)
I use SIN, a dusty pink with gold doodas
here it is

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
I only have one NARS product, Multiple in Malibu, and I love it. It gives my cheeks (I'm NC42-43) the perfect natural flushed appearance.

My mom is NC45 and she uses Sedona, St. Tropez may also suit you.

Re: Favorite NARS products?!?!
NARS is for me, one of the ultimate makeup lines out there. I would buy the whole line if I won the lottery...
A few stand out items:
Orgasm (blush)
Madly (blush)
St. Barts (multiple)
Mustique (multiple)
All About Eve (eyeshadow duo)
Chihuahua (lipgloss)
Foul Play (lipgloss)
