 TAOS: A Winner! October 9, 2008
I got a gift certificate to Sephora for $25 and wanted to use it on something I would normally not buy (which is hard to do in Sephora because I want to buy EVERYTHING!!) Anyway....I wanted to try NARS blush, but didn't know which one to pick. I told the salesperson I was trying to streamline my makeup routine, wanted to look natural, but polished. I told her I only want to use mascara, blush, and gloss for my day look and asked her to pick out a natural looking blush. She picked Taos and brushed it on my cheeks....I was running late and had to get back to work, so I got it and left. This morning I used my regular blush brush and immediately had to wipe the blush off--way too much pigment. After removing some, I got the wonderful, natural, blush look I was going for. The blush pulled my face together and even though I was wearing less make-up, I looked polished and professional. Will definately recommend and repurchase!
 Fabulous high quality, beautifully pigmented blushes THAT LAST! September 26, 2008
These are so exquisitely milled and pigmented that it's not irritating to my sensitive skin. I also only need a very little to make my cheeks pop, so it lasts and lasts.
ORGASM may be the holy grail of blusher for many fairer women, but I'm an NC44 Latina (med-dark olive tone) and that color would not make a showing on me. I did find that two colors have become my staple blushes.
For warm-tone days, I use EXHIBIT A, a matte blush that is scary in the pan (so brightly orange-red) that most women would think "Bozo the Clown". No, it works beautifully on my tone, brightening me (we olive toned women can look sallow and blah without a color pop). Fabulous.
For cool days (and by cool I'm talking my color choices for clothes and lipstick, not weather), I like MATA HARI. It's a matte cool pink tone that is deep enough to show on my cheeks and give me a look that says "Healthful" or "just went for a quick jog and has blood circulating well". Nice.
I plan to try CRAZED and TAOS, which seem to be shimmery cousins to my two faves (ie, one is warmer, one is cooler).
I think the thing is to head to a store like Sephora and just try the shades. With the array of beautiful colors, you will find a couple or more colors that make you feel and look great.
NOTE: You really need a quality brush to get just enough pigment and deposit not too much pigment. That's my recommendation. These blushes do not come with little cheapo rough brushes like so many do. No, get a good blush brush--a MAC one, or a Sephora, etc. I use the MAC duo-fiber brush, smaller one, and it works very well with these strong shades.
Yes, pricey. But I've gone through so many disappointing blushes in drugstore brands and even from some name brands, that it's a relief to find blushers that WORK for me and make me happy and don't make me itch!
Hurrah for NARS.

All that was promised! August 26, 2008
This is a great blush for someone like me who is over 50, needs a touch of color, but nothing too bright. It looks very natural on my rather fair skin. I love it!
Wear this with your bronze/gold/copper clothing! June 11, 2008
Gilda is a beautiful color - it works great with my skin (fair with yellow/olive undertones), but you only have to use a little bit. It looks a little scary in the compact - VERY bright orange/coral. But it's a really pretty color on my skin.
I think this color would also work really well for darker complexions - you wouldn't have a problem with it not showing up.
It works great with my brown, copper, bronze, and gold clothing, and looks FANTASTIC with Nars "Sandpiper" lip gloss.
I'm a HUGE fan of Nars blush!
Avoid the glitter shades, especially Orgasm! May 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I would recommend avoiding the shades with glitter! I used to use Orgasm before I used it on my sister's cheeks for prom and all that glitter looked ridiculous!! I threw it away that very day. I am "white" but I have a warm yellow-toned almost "Asian" skintone and I have come to find that "Mata Hari" is the color my cheeks blush naturally. I think people with warm toned skin would normally pass a color like this up because it looks almost purple/pink in the pan. However, with the right application it looks really natural on. And by right application I mean very very little product b/c this blush is one of the most pigmented formulas I have ever encountered. It will last you a very long time!! For more cool toned skin I would recommend "Desire" (a more hot-pink color). Or, "Amour" if you are looking for more of a warm peachy pink cheek color. There are others, but those are the ones I know of without glitter.
