0 Nars blush swatches in Oasis, Madly & Douceur

I know I'm supposed to be on a make up ban, but I guess when it comes to things like blushers and LE collections, I can't help breaking the ban >.< Got my friend to CP these 3 blushers from overseas when she went on a holiday recently. My aim is to collect all NARs blushers one day....

Here are the pic n swatches of the blushers. Pls click the pictures for enlarged picture

Oasis

Has red undertone to it. Would describe this color more as a reddish brown. Fair skinned ladies have to be very light handed with this. Perfect for ladies with medium to tanned skin tones

 

Madly

Leaning towards the orange-brown side. Would say that this is more of a bronzing color rather than a blush. Fair skin ladies may have to apply this with a light hand as if over applied, it may be too orangey. Recommended more for ladies with medium to tanned skin tone

Douceur

 Would describe this as a plum - brown shades. Helps to give the a slightly sculpted look. Do not apply this especially if u have a fairer skin tone as it might give a brusied look on the cheeks if u apply too much of this

2 NARS Blushers

Over in my country we do not have NARS. So I only can buy my Nars products when I go overseas and hence I only have 4 NARS blushers currently - Orgasm (Refer to a earlier post for pic n swatch on orgasm), Deep Throat, Torrid and Desire.

Pics and swatches of Deep Throat, Torrid and Desire

Left to right: Deep Throat and Torrid. Click for enlarged pic

Desire blush. Click for enlarged pic

From left to right: Deep Throat, Torrid & Desire

Deep Throat: A peachy pink color that's similar to orgasm but with significantly less golden shimmers, if u like the color of orgasm but u don't like the shimmers in it, U can consider getting Deep  Throat.

Torrid: Works on all skintone. Reminds me of MAC's Sunbasque blush. For fair skinned ladies, use this with a light hand. This gives a very nice sunkissed bronzy look to the skin. But if over applied, Might look sunburnt instead of sunkissed LOL

Desire: A hot pink shade of blush. Much brighter than MAC's pink swoon but isn't as fuschia toned as MAC's azalea blush

Packaging: 2.5 ( I don't like the rubber packaging of the products, turns sticky after a while even if i keep it properly in a drawer)

Price: 3.5 (More expensive than MAC's blushers, but still worth buying as they can last a very long time as only a little is needed on the face)

Quality: 4.5 (Love Nars blushers, they are highly pigmented and yet smooth and blendable)

Would I repurchase again: Yep. Definitely.

2 NARS orgasm, Deep throat VS MAC Peachykeen & Springsheen

Although in the swatches, the 4 swatches of these four blushers look really similar, but they definitely differ on different skintones of people.

Nars orgasm & Deep throat - Would appear more on fair to medium skintones. Ladies with darker skintone might find that they would have to layer more for these to appear

MAC peachykeen - a reddish pink blush with some subtle shimmers that suit ALL skintones from fair to the darkest skin

MAC Springsheen - golden peach pink (leaning more towards peach) for fair to medium tanned skintones.

Most universal flattering shades of these four blushers? Definitely MAC peachykeen imho as it suits all skintones. But my favourite blush of these four for fair skinned ladies would be either Nars Orgasm or MAC mineralized blush in Dainty
