I wish I had given it more of a chance in the past, but at least I have a newer dupe, so this will be decluttered. Warm toned, tanned and dark skinned beauties can wear this with ease, but paler skinned ladies will need to apply this with an even lighter hand to avoid a disaster. There’s a bit too much brown in that shade for my skin tone but I’m sure it would look pretty on others. The biggest selling point for me was getting my hands on Taj Mahal, one of the beauty industry’s most famous orange blushes, and Exhibit A which I completely forgot I already owned. You don’t need to go crazy with lip colour when wearing this powder blush, let your cheeks do the talking.

Then I saw a deal on Mercari for the High Profile palette which was a limited edition release for Holiday 2021 that had only been swatched and I just couldn’t pass it up. We do not ensure whether the published reviews originate from consumers who have actually used or purchased the product. I feel like prestige brands tend to give more sheer formulas that are a bit softer and buildable so im not mad at the sheerness but im curious to find out of any of the other shades with show up on my complexion! As I went through my blush drawer to prepare for this post, I realized I had several more blushes from Nars that I completely forgot about (and I bought one more product after I was supposed to be finished with this review)!So, my favorite with this particular formula is the Chikuhodo FO-2 because it fits well with the size dimensions of the pans and picks up a decent amount of product that allows me to still control in building up the color. It is pigmented to the max, as many NARS blushes are, but this one is even more so than the average NARS blush.

This color is a beautiful bright yellow-orange (not coral) which tends to look lovely and somewhat natural and sun-kissed on my Caramel complexion. Because the pigment is rich in color, I underline the importance of a gentle initial application, building color to fit your need.Much more of a girly pink and much was neon than in the picture, this blush goes on to give a natural yet still super girly flush of pink, I love it! I told the sales rep that I met there to repeat herself and then she went on to say again I'm sorry but it has been discontinued, I'm so sorry, a lot of people loved that blush. One of my favourite blushers, Taj Mahal by Nars is a super flattering orange shade with a beautiful golden finish. Blush has always been something that I want to look natural, like I’m actually blushing, but that type of shimmer is a dead giveaway. I think she actually said a regular ol’ light/lamp – just the heat from the bulb was enough to knock it loose!
