NARS cream blushers aren't my favourite formulation, there's just no beating Illamasqua's cream blushers for me although it's unfair of me to compare them because they are two totally different products. Illamasqua cream blushers stay dewy on the skin whereas NARS cream blushers dry to more of a powder finish which is great if you're skin is on the oilier side. They never look powdery or too much on the skin and I find they wear really nicely throughout the day, I never find myself needing to reapply.
Base: La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Melt In Cream SPF 50, Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation, Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer & Benefit Erase Paste Concealer.
Eyes: MUA Heaven & Earth Palette, Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner & 17 Peep Show Mascara.
Cheeks: NARS Penny Lane Cream Blush.
Lips: Revlon Lollipop Lip Butter.
Cheeks: NARS Penny Lane Cream Blush.
Lips: Revlon Lollipop Lip Butter.
Penny Lane is described as a nude pink shade and I would say that's pretty accurate. There is no shimmer or glitter and although I'm a huge fan of shimmery cheek products it's nice to have options! It's one of those shades that doesn't look hugely special in the pan but once it's on your cheeks it manages to give you that fresh, wide awake and natural flush which is so lovely and goes with any make up look you could possibly think of. If you have been thinking about investing in this shade, and at £21 it is an investment purchase, I would say that it is well worth every single penny and I highly recommend it. I can already tell that this will be my blusher of choice when I decide to go for a bright lip this spring and summer and I'm so excited to wear it more!
Have you ever tried any blushers from NARS? If so which are your favourites? And if not, please let me know what your current favourite blusher is, I'd love to know!

DeleteI have a Revon blush I picked up from the drug store because it was cheap..But its not amazing. I havent found a blush I like yet, as I find most too pigmented. This looks good though..I might try it and see if I can stop hunting for one I like.
ReplyDeleteReally like this one, it's easy to just apply a tiny amount for a sheer tint of colour :) xo
DeleteYou look so beautiful, your skin looks beautiful and radiant. I love that kind of healthy glow colour :)

DeleteI am completely obsessed with blushers at the mo and even though I have NARS Laguna bronzer, I don't actually own any of their blushers - and I feel I should considering how much I like blushers and how much I like Nars. Well, well, well…

DeleteSuch a girly, pretty color!! I've heard so much about this cream blush and keep wanting to try it out but I haven't purchased it yet b/c my skin just does not seem to agree with NARS cream products. The multiples and skin luminizers break my skin out like crazy :(
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing with your complexion though!
