NARS Blush N (961 Hot One)

I use it to soften any redness on my skin, or to adjust the color when my blush is too dark. I think it's a useful color to have on hand.

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.

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!

It's great that you can't go wrong with layering subdued colors.
