As I mentioned previously, I frequent YouTube for new tips, tutorials and trends in makeup artistry and beauty products. One of my favorite channels I subscribe to is Ateya Richard's "Smuve Completions". She is not only entertaining, but informative, and I like the makeup tips she likes to share. She favors NARS products and uses some blushes and eyeshadows in most of her videos. I read in a magazine that alot of celebrities were wearing "Exhibit A" NARS blush...and it has alot of women of color talking about it. Well, after various reviews, I decided to check NARS blushes out.
I went to Sephora, just to put some on to see how the color worked out. A very flamboyant and super nice SA in the store, comes up to me, and I ask him about NARS blush.
SA: "Oh honey!!! You are gonna luuuuvee Exhibit A!!" He then takes me to the NARS section. . .
Me: "Ummmm that's like florescent orange!!!...not my color"
SA: "Just try it"
Me: "Okay (I'm too nice.)"
So he puts some of the blush on me, and I look in the mirror, and I'm shocked at how pretty the color looks! I really can't explain it... it's like a natural flush of color that complements my skin so well!.
Me: "Wow... I'm speechless".
SA: "Told you girl!"
I grab Exhibit A, and Albatross (see below). That color scared me as well, until I put it on and liked it. It's a cheekbone hightlight with a subtle, sheer, golden overlay. I love it, and think they were both worth the money. They are highly pigmented, so you just have to use a tiny bit.
Here is a picture (courtesy of Indian Makeup Diva ) of Exhibit A and Albatross together.
