What Nars blushes besides, "Orgasm" do you like?
Tarte Flush, it's my favorite, without a doubt, could be
less sticky, but nothing's perfect!

Sin, Desire, and Crazed. NARS makes some of the best blushes around. The
only thing I can't stand is their awful black rubber packaging. It's fine
and dandy when you first get it, but after a while, the rubber seems to
"melt" and then is sticky to the touch. This is even when I store the blush
in a cool, dry, place.

I also love SIN, which looks fabulous on me, and have been liking OUTLAW too.
It's like a more orange–y version of SIN.

I'm no longer a fan of powder blush because it simply disappears by day's end
on my oily skin. Only gel, cream and stick blushes stay put on me,
counterintuitive though this may seem. My current favorite is Bobbi Brown's
Desert Rose, blended with the Px blush blender brush.

I concur mostly. I do still wear powder blush, but my default
are Bonne Bell's gel blushes. They look so natural and they
last all day. kpr54

That "melted" thing didn't happen to my Nars blush, but I can't stand that
the packaging is rubber and gets dust on it after a while, which looks and
feels gunky and unprofessional. Also in the Nars multiple (which I love) the
twisty thing that lifts it up in mine became tight and would spring back
down after a while, as opposed to easily elevating itself and staying put. I
still love their products, though.

I just recently stepped on the NARS bandwagon (Dolce Vita lipstick & Orgasm
blush) & I love the look of their packaging but have wondered how it will
look and wear over time & usage.

"Sin". It's a plummy pink. If you're going to get a blush
based on what you see on a web site, beware of the color
called "Taos". It looks fine on the Sephora site but it's
VERY orange and VERY deeply pigmented. I need to layer a
lot of "Orgasm" on for it to show up on my medium toned
skin. I can't seem to apply a small enough amount of Taos
to tone it down so I may get rid of it.

Another vote for Sin, it's one of those plummy pinks that acts neutral
and looks good on almost everyone.

I found that some of the glue on the older labels seep thru and make
whatever's underneath it really sticky. Yuck.
In any case, I love Nars shimmery blushes – Outlaw, Sin, Deep Throat,
Torrid, Angelika (the micro glitter isn't at all glittery on me), and
Taos which goes on more berry red than orange on me.

I recently bought Exhibit A and I'm amazed at how pretty it is! It's a scary
bright orange in the pan, but on my cheeks – it's gorgeous! You need to use a
light touch, though. It turns out looking like a ripe peach color on me, and
no shimmer. Lovely!
