Why You’ll Love It
The NARS Blush N is one of those products that gets described differently by everyone who uses it, because the shade range is wide enough that it genuinely behaves differently depending on what you choose. A talc-free, silky powder that moves across skin without catching on texture, applies sheer, and builds without patchiness. It also lasts a very long time — reviewers regularly describe using one for months before seeing the bottom.
How to Work It Into Your Routine
Tap a fluffy blush brush into the pan and tap off any excess powder before applying. Sweep upward from the apple of the cheek toward the temples in a soft C-motion. For a more concentrated flush, use a denser brush and apply directly to the cheekbone. To add dimension, use a shimmer shade at the top of the cheekbone and a matte shade just below in the hollow. Blend any edges with a clean brush. Lightly dust remaining product on the brush along the hairline, temples, or bridge of the nose for a sun-kissed effect.
What’s Inside
(1) Pure Pigment Blend (4-pigment blend): NARS's proprietary system that delivers accurate, vibrant color without muddiness or patchiness
(2) Pearlescent Pigments: scatter and reflect light to soften the appearance of pores and uneven texture
(3) Talc-free base: a lightweight, smooth-application formula that feels clean on skin and reduces buildup
(4) Soft-focus powder base: blurs surface imperfections while color is applied — no separate primer step needed
Note: NARS Blush N is free from talc, silicone, alcohol, PEG, EDTA, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and sulfates.

Honest reviews from skincare lovers around the globe.
I've always been interested in NARS blush, so I bought the mini size. Blush never runs out, and this amount is just perfect! The colors are cute and have great pigmentation, and they go well with any makeup look. I hope they release more mini sizes of their other colors!
I've always loved NARS's Orgasm blush, but this year I changed my hair color to a pink ash, so I bought Thrill, which I'd been interested in for a while. It looks like a fluorescent pink, but when you apply it, it has a slight purple tint. You have to be careful not to apply too much, but if you apply it lightly, it gives you a really cute pink cheek. This is my first matte non-pearl blush, but it's not dry and doesn't show pores. I've also ordered Sex Fantasy!!
907 is described as "mauve pink & gold shimmer," but when I apply it to my hands, it feels more like red than mauve, with hints of brown or burgundy. The delicate gold pearl (glitter?) gives it a hint of yellow, so it blends in nicely with my warm-toned skin without standing out. I don't like blushes with a strong pearly or shimmery feel because they accentuate pores, but this one doesn't. Rather, the pearly feel gives my skin a smooth, radiant look, not just in spots. At first glance, it looks dark and intense, but the color is adjustable, making it easier to use than I expected. It's close to my own complexion, and I loved the color.

I wanted to go blushless, but I felt like my face looked dull without anything on, so I wanted a brown blush that would blend in well with my skin, and this is the first time I've purchased this since the redesign. I think the case is more sturdy than before. I've bought the previous version twice, but it broke both times. The color is just right, not too dark or too light. Even when I wear a mask, the color somehow lingers into the evening. I'm also planning to buy the 920 version.
