Spring is here! Time for lighter makeup and clothing shades! Here are some of my favorites for April:
NARS Contour Blush – A duo of contouring blush shades to create natural-looking dimension for the face with a lightweight luminous finish. A deeper shade enhances definition while a lighter shade illuminates the high points of the face. I tried the lightest shade (Olympia) and it was a nice little palette. I wish there were a few more shades though. I would have liked to see a lighter highlight (because I’m super pale) and a slightly warmer brown (since I have yellow undertones). Paloma is the middle shade (which looks too dark for me) and the darkest shade is Gienah. Sad update – June 2017 – NARS is no longer cruelty free – the company has decided to sell in China, a country that requires animal testing. Click here for details.
NARS blush in Torrid – you guys know I love peachy blushes any time of the year. If you’re in the peach blush love club, try NARS blush in Torrid!
