Luster is a blush, but is normally used a highlighter on deeper skin tones. That's because the bronze peach color just melts into our skin and the gold shimmer in the blush remains visible. The shimmer is not chunky like in Angelika or Super Orgasm, which I don't like. It's also not like Whisper of Gilt or Superb at all, which I also love.

Luster is a very soft, natural, gorgeous highlight on darker skin. It'll work beautifully into the natural and neutral looks that you like to do.

EDIT: I just noticed your new location.

I am sorry i did not look at your coloring

Monsy, I added that info immediately after posting. No worries.

Anyway Luster is beautiful as a blush or highlighter.

Luster is an intense enough colour that it would show up on deep skin tones. Applied lightly, it could work as a highlighter, but it would still be more of a blush shade.

It looks lovely.

So pretty! I was just looking at the Estee Lauder cream shadows yesterday. There's an intense green that would look amazing with this duo.

Kate - hahah yes! I shall do a theme FOTD then. Will use Persia and Tehran :P I also agree with what you say about Karen's swatches. Her's always look muted so these shadows must be super pigmented!

Damn it these eyeshadows are getting more beautiful again! And I don't know that I have a blue/green duo from any brand. The closest I have is Nars South Pacific but that's more like teal and aqua duo. It's now confirmed that I will get both duo and the single eyeshadow :D

Anyone know when this is coming to Canada? 

nail polish is so disappointing. three coats and still looks sheer.

Thanks,Marie!

Because of the flash light, they look really different from the pic you posted before.lol

Btw, I'm in trouble. Except for red, orangish and nude lip pencils, I want all of them. At least 8~9 of them.:S

I can't wait to see the color story of the lip pencils, btw!

I only just bought the brush 2 weeks ago, so I haven't experimented enough to say how it performs with all the sheerer nars blushes! So far I've used it with outlaw, madly and gilda, and a variety of mac blushes and msfs.
Are you getting the blush?

Yachiyofied :D :D  Yes, I am getting the blush..

Everything is back up on the NARS site..in case anyone wants to rush and place an order now..doesn't make a difference I guess, though, since nothing would get processed before Monday.

I wonder how much product we'll get with these concealers.  The current stick concealer is a pitiful 0.07 oz/ 2 g.

Persia looks a bit deeper and redder... I think whether there's enough difference to warrant owning both would depend on how much you like to wear those colours.

 

 

Luster has a lot of shimmer, but it's definitely a blush. It has a lot of colour to it as well.

 

ways tempted to grab them when I see them... Could get costly this season.

i use luster as a kind of highlighter with other blushes, and also as a blush when by itself. 

i'm ordering the two duos and the blush. persia i am still on the fence, maybe wait and see how it swatches on me. i tend to use saffron in the crease, so this would be used similarly....you are right, it's going to be a costly season!

On me, Luster's color is barely visible even after packing it on. I end up with shimmer overload at that point.

Interesting to know! Obviously, I was making an assumption- I figured the colour would come through. 

And thank you for the photos of the pencils and concealers, Marie! I can see about four of the lip pencils that I want right off... I'm definitely going to have to plan around my budget so that I don't end up homeless from the Nars haul!

i managed to place an order online, but i didn't get a confirmation yet....so i'm not sure whether it worked!

i've never ordered from nars before, so i don't know how long it should take. 

I'm gonna be patient and wait to buy at the counter. I like to swatch things before I buy and I like the SA at our Nars counter. I had actually forgotten about the satin pencils damn it! There are at least 5 in there that I need. Oh ya, there's this pencil called "Golshan" in there, fourth one from the left. Golshan is another Persian name. It's actually my grandmother maiden name from my dad side.....So that one is a must for me :P

I've never used under eye concealer before but now with baby and sleep deprivation I feel like I may need it. Just not sure if I should grab one of these new Nars ones or go for the cult favourites Bobbi Brown or Laura Mercier.

Funny the comment on Luster. I always thought that was one of the WOC friendly shades. I tried it once years ago in the winter and I found it too bronzey/pigmented for my taste or at least my winter skintone. I much prefer Madly for me, much more natural.

Please don't misunderstand what I said about Luster. It's very WOC, but more so as a highlighter. The color itself doesn't show up on my skin, but it's still gorgeous. It's my 2nd favorite blush after Taj Mahal. I love how it wears differently on various skin tones, but still looks beautiful on all of us.

Another review of the blush:

http://www.glitterglossgarbage.com/nars-seduction/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nars-seduction

It mentioned the blush has lack of pigmentation.

I think I should pass the entire collection.

The more I see reviews, the more I know/am sure the blush won't look good on my skintone.
