When it comes to makeup, I have a pretty hard time finding blush that compliments my skin tone. The colors are either ashy against my skin, or practically non-existent. These are three of my absolute faves when it comes to powder blush; they may be a bit on the pricey side, but they are well worth their weight in gold.
Nars Super Orgasm [$26] - This is a follow up to their best seller "Orgasm", and one of my favorite colors to wear when I want more of a clean, glowy look. The sheer coverage makes it the perfect pink for those on the lighter side, as well as us chocolaty girls! I also like to put a little bit of this color down the bridge of my nose, the center of my forehead, and the center of my chin because it makes an amazing highlighter. This flirty, shimmery, pink goes perfect with nude or muted pink lips.- I am wearing Nars Giza Lip Gloss.
Nars Torrid [$26] - This is more of a deep pinky color that also compliments most skin tones. I love to wear this with bold pink lips, as well as nude lipgloss. This blush offers what I call "buildable color", you can wear less for more of a sheer, natural glow, or you can layer it on [as pictured] for more intensity. This blush also makes the perfect accessory to smokey eyes as well! - I am wearing Intriguing Matte Lip Color by Stila

All three are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love all 3! You look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting Torrid in the mail in a couple of days. I can't wait! I love all of these blushes on you! Have you tried/do you like Nars Exhibit A? It looks scary in the case but I think it would look amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteyes, I love NARS!
ReplyDeleteNARS - I wear Exhibit A - it's great on dark skin. =)
I'm a Nars lover as well, just tried sin and love it too. I never thought of using the raizin but may pick it up on my next MAC trip.
ReplyDeleteSo many people have raved about MAC Raizin - I Must try it out. I never liked Nars' orgasm as I felt it was too glittery although I have to say it looks amazing on you :)
ReplyDeletestunning! Nars does right by black women 90% of the time. I love Exhibit A and Taos but I must try Torrid.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks soo good in those pics!!
ReplyDeletelovely. I wear Raizin! it is superb
ReplyDeleteFound your blog a couple of days ago and love,love, LOVEEEEEEE!!!! I am going to get MAC Raizan asap! Been looking for a good blush...
ReplyDeleteHi Nik - They all look beautiful on you. I discovered Hollywood by Lorac -luvs it! Check it out:-)
ReplyDeleteLove all three!!they look gorgeous on you
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I'm so in loveeeee with your blog too =) Just discovered it this past weekend & I can't wait to try copying one of your braid-outs! I've been looking for a way to define and wear my hair out with curls, but every other wash, set, & go routine I've read about has failed. It might be odd, but never once did I think of the braid-out, twist-out as an aiding technique. You truly are an inspiration, so thank you! Again, LOVEEE your blog & can't wait to keep reading more from you =)
ReplyDeleteNikole, I loved all three. Have to get the MAC Raizan. How did you do your hair in those pics? It looks AMAZING!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am acounter manager at a Bobbi Brown counter in Los Angeles and her blushes look amazing on us. My favorite is Apriot. Aside from looking amazing they stay put all day which has always been a problem of mine with other cosmetic lines. I need to send you one so you can review it on your site. Also YSL has an amazing orange blush that shows us as coral on us.
