Nars Madly Blush

Here's my second Nars blush post. I got Nars Madly a few months ago when I wanted to find a nice neutral blush. I'm always drawn to corals and pinks, so this was a big change for me! At the time I debated between mac blushbaby (still pretty!), nars douceur (didn't show up on me), then i discovered nars madly and i'm so glad i did...


Nars calls it a "seashell pink" but on my skin it shows up as a beautiful, shimmery beige with a tiny touch of peachy-pink. Definitely more tan/brown than pink. In the pictures it does look like it could be worn as a bronzer, but i wouldn't: it's much too shimmery. It adds a perfect glow to the cheeks but I think it would be too much if used all over the face. It's also very pigmented so I have to be careful when applying it or it just looks muddy.
Definitely a perfect, neutral blush for a little cheek definition.I especially like using it with strong lip looks...it looks lovely with light shimmery eyes and red lips. As with all my Nars blushes, it blends beautifully and lasts all day. Madly is definitely another blush love of mine!
