Nars is one of my favourites high end makeup brands. I have loved Nars products for quite some time, since my first purchase, the iconic Nars Orgasm blush. I really like all the Nars products that I have at the moment, some are staples in my makeup bag.
But there are other products that I tried and didn't like the Nars Sheer Glow foundation that everybody raves about. My skin didn't look good with this, I was extremely disappointed. The products aren't exactly cheap so spend the money in something you don't like isn't cool at all. So make sure to ask for samples before purchasing.
There are still products from the brand I've never tried but I really want, like the eyeshadows or the multiples however I think they are slightly pricey...
These are my top products from Nars:
Their blushes need no explanation! Nars is known for its blushes. The range of colous is amazing and they last all day.
The iconic Orgasm probably is the most popular blush ever, and it was my first Nars purchase, of course. This peachy pink with golden shimmer blush is universally flattering, looks great on everyone, gives the cheeks a gorgeous and healthy soft pink glow.
The other blushes that I have are Gilda, a matte orange-coral, and Douceur, a soft pink brown which is the perfect neutral cheek colour that it goes with any make up look.
Nars Bronzer in Laguna is one of its best sellers and no wonder why. You can see in the photo this has been well loved. I'm not a fan of shimmering bronzers but this is subtle and gives you a natural, warm glow. I love this specially during Summer. It also provides a lovely and natural contour on the cheeks and it's great for fair complexions. I do also use it as a eyeshadow sometimes, it looks lovely!
The only downside is that the powder breaks easily, mine broke and crumbled only after one month so you need to be very careful.
The Nars Illuminators are great. They are liquid highlighters, they're super pigmented and can be placed on the high points of the face, or neck and decollete for some dimension, or can be also mixed with your foundation to give you some extra glow. I own the called Copacabana, a pale pink colour that gives such a pretty glow.
I adore the lipsticks. They have so many different colours, the formula is amazing, so long lasting (specially the matte formula) and varied range of finishes. They're so easy to apply and precise.
Nars sheer Lipstick in Dolce Vita is probably my all time favourite nude lipstick!. It's a sheer dusty rose but provides nice pigmentation. It's hydrating and is the most perfect nude colour in my opinion. (Check my favourite nude lipsticks here)
For me the Velvet Matte Lip Pencils are the MUST HAVE! They're pigmented and long wearing. They are also creamy and don't leave the lips as dry as other matte lipsticks. The only downside is the pencil packaging because you do need to sharpen it.
All the colours are so beautiful but I'm obsessed with The Velvet Matte in Dragon Girl, is such a unique pinky-red that looks gorgeous on the lips and last on for hours. (Check my favourite red lipsticks here)
The Satin Lip Pencils are amazing as well. Great colours choices. These are super creamy and beautifully pigmented. They have a satin texture leaving a lovely sheen on the lips. I love the shade Rikugien a muted rose with a frosted finish, perfect for everyday looks. (review here)

Some great picks in this post! I also didn't like Sheer Glow, was such a let down! I really like Laguna too, and the blush LoveJoy!!

Oh the LoveJoy blush is such a lovely colour! thank you Francesca :) xx
DeleteAhh the Nars Matte Lip Pencils, they are some of my favourite lipsticks that I own, they even rival my love for my Mac ones which I never thought I would say. I have a love hate relationship with the Sheer Glow Foundation, it makes my skin look amazing (when I don't have dry patches) but I think it might break me out :(

Their blushes will always have my heart, especially as I wasn't a fan of their foundations. Think my purse is breathing a sigh of relief!
