Fav NARS blush combos.

Zen as a contour/broonzer with Mata Hari on apples of cheeks. Gives a great natural look since both shades are matte.

Albatross with anything as the perfect highlight/sheen. Albatross has to be one of the best highlight shades ever. Amazing sheen without looking like a glitter bomb.

Lovejoy used as a bronzer, and brushed in creases of eyes. Great quick way to brighten up your face.

I know that not a lot of people like Super Orgasm because of the glitter (i do too) but i love it on the cheeks and highlight it with Orgasm.

As mentioned, Laguna Bronzer to contour and Orgasm blush is the perfect summer glow

I bought the Duo for these two that's offered on Sephora's website a couple years ago and still love it!

I know the result is quite showy, but I love Taj Mahal and Orgasm. This combo makes me look like Apollonia Kotero in the 80s XD

Third Laguna and Orgasm.

I love Luster and Sertao as eyeshadows too... im NC40/42.

Luster on top of Gina is brilliant to take out some of the red/orangeness in it!

Gina + Super Orgasm; I love love love how warm Gina is. It's not terribly bright on my because I am Benares in NARS foundations (NW45), but it adds so much warmth to my cheeks and it's the perfect base blush for nearly everything. Anyway...

Oasis + Sin; Oasis is really muted and Sin to me has more shimmer than color but together they are wonderful. I'm glad I paired these two together because I was about ready to throw in the towel on Oasis.

Nars Penny lane + Madly (more on the hollows) = nice office appropriate contoured cheek

Nars Penny Lane + Silvana = "darker peachier pink tanned cheek" with some shimmer = nice summer cheek.

St. Barts Multiple + Orgasm Blush + Mac MSF in Natural Flush = THE clubbing/dancing CHEEK. I don't realy wear moisturizer if i go out at night, so the st. bart makes the orgasm (regular) stick. the MSF is just an extra steep to get more of a pink sheen.

I wore deep throat over gina today, gorgeous!


I really want to like Deep Throat (I don't own it) as it is the last NARS blush that I don't already have that will "work" for my skintone, but Torrid has more color and Orgasm just seems prettier in some way although I think they are different. I might try that combo on at the NARS counter next time I am there. Or I might just pair Gina with Torrid and call it a day. Oh Deep Throat...

Some love them, others say they don't show up. It's funky.

Yeah Orgasm is a weird one. My friend who is at least a full shade lighter than me can't get it to work. When I tried it at Sephora a long while ago it didn't seem to show up very well. I have since learned that the lighting in Sephora is TERRIBLE. I tried it at the NARS counter and it was love.

OT - NARS should make a blush version of Portifino. I would eat that up!

For everyday wear, I love to pair Torrid with South Beach multiple, its amazingly gorgeous on darker skin tones

For a dramatic look, i like to pair a touch of Exhibit A with Taj Mahal blush

Oasis + Sin = absolutely gorgeous

Luster + Albatross = the most fab bronzer and highlight combo

Orgasm across cheek bone + Penny Lane on apples of cheeks + Albatross on high end of cheek bone = perfection.

Sidenote: NARS Orgasm + Benefit Dandelion = Gorgeous!!

Try the Pink side of the Divine eyeshadow duo as a blush.
Try using the iridescent shadows from Iceland e/s duo (violet side only) or Kilimanjaro e/s duo (both sides) under blushes for an amazing glow.
