I just started wearing blush recently and I wan't to jump onto the NARS bandwagon but I don't know where to start. I also think the price is causing my hesitation.

I usually have a neutral eye. Purple and green when I feel like color that day. I always have a nude lip. I haven't adventured out on color when it comes to my eyeshadow or lips yet. I'm still unclear on what shades are good on my NC50 skintone. I own MA from wonder woman and use MUFE #131 and #48 as a blush as well.

97.8% of the NARS blushes will look good on all WOC. Its really just a matter of preference! I own 3 NARS blushes, Gilda, Gina, and Taos. Those are my favorite. I also want Exibit A (its extremely colorful) one day.

If you can, try to check out the offerings at a NARS counter instead of Sephora. Sephora doesn't carry all the blushes.

NARS blushes are pricey but sooo worth it! The pigmentation is so good you need very little to get it to show up. And of course you can build up the color to your satisfaction.

I have NARS blushes (so far) in Cactus Flower, Mata Hari, Angelika and Oasis. I don't have Torrid or Gilda as I have the MAC MA blush.

I dragged one of my girlfriends to Sephora to get blush and she got Taos. It looks so good with her warm skin tone. Exhibit A looks beautiful--hope you get it soon so we can see how it looks on you.

[/quote] Mounia is on the official Nars site. Get your hands on it b/c it's amazing. I own Lovejoy, Sertao, Mounia, Angelika, Desire, Gina and Crazed. All of them are fantastic. Lovejoy is an every day blush and Sertao serves as a highlighter for me. Gina is my absolute favorite.

Since you're a neutral/nude girl, I suggest you start off with Luster blush and Albatross highlighter. You might also want to try Dolce Vita blush. You can reach for these on a daily basis, and they'll provide a pop of color that would still blend in with your neutral eye and nude lip.

I'm NW50, and I own those 3 that I suggested (among other Nars products, lol). And I get tons of comments about how good my "skin" looks --> not makeup, but "skin". I agree with sss215. For whatever reason, most of NARS blushes look AMAZING on WOC. I swear Francois puts brown girl pixie dust in every single one. (The few that don't are too bland/brown like Doceur or don't show up like Orgasm on darker skin tones.) If you're feeling adventurous, you can't go wrong with Desire or Taj Mahal or Exhibit A or ANY, lol.

Try Montenegro cream blush by NARS ... haven't read above any WOC who tried it but saw a pic in Elle and it's really pretty!

[/quote] I got my fingers crossed that you do. I never see it at any Nars counter I visit. When Lord and Taylor used to carry Nars, I saw Mounia but I wasn't interested in it at the time. Eventually, they pulled it shortly before pulling the brand altogether. Good luck!

If I don't find it at the store I'm going to do a joint order with my sister so we can get free shipping and have it sent to the house in NYC. Either way I will have it. I think I will take a look at Montenegro today at the new larger Sephora at my local mall.
