Hi! I'm looking for some recommendations for the best nars blushes for super pale skin. Nars isn't stocked anywhere near me so I can't see the shades in person. I have very pale cool toned skin (pinkish)... I would prob be an NW5. I have dark brown hair and blue eyes.
I might just get one blush or a few. I think cool toned blushes prob usually suit me better. I have mac well dressed and dollymix so prob don't need anything too similar to either of those. I don't think coral/peach blushes look quite right on me but I haven't tried too many and the cult following of orgasm and deep throat is making me lean towards them anyways! So far I've been thinking of maybe deep throat (is this pinker/cooler than orgasm and maybe better for pale skin?), sex appeal (another peach but it looks so dainty and pretty on pale skin in any pics I've seen!), angelika (is this a good pink for pale skin or is there a better one? I think I'm attracted to the pretty glitter!).
I've also been looking at albatross for a highlight. I have the elf dupe and hate it.. very chunky, chalky and yellow instead of glowy on my skin. I ruled out albatross earlier because even though I'm sure the product itself is better quality than the elf one, I thought the yellow wouldnt look right on my pale pink skin. However I recently got dior amber diamond and the first smallest colour is yellowy and I really like it and have since heard its v similar to albatross.. anyone know if this is true? Or how albatross looks on pale skin?

Could you tell me a little more about how orgasm and deep throat compare? Which one is stronger and which is pinker/cooler? Which do you think is nicest on our pale skin? I don't think I need both and am leaning more toward deep throat at the moment. The only skunk brush I have is a mac 130 but thats quite small and dense so I don't think it would work with blush. I currently use a Mac 129 or 116 for blush. Do you think a skunk brush is necessary with the nars blushes? I've heard they're very pigmented but I don't think I'm too heavy handed so I should be ok with my usual brushes.. or do you think the effect is still nicer with a skunk brush? Also, which one do you use? I may still get a mac 188 or 187 (if its not too big?) at some point. I just took a look at douceur but I think thats a bit dark and too brown looking for me, but thanks for the suggestion. Also not interested in a cream blush at the moment but thanks anyways.
