Nars Love Joy powder blush is described as a shimmering bronzed rose shade. I find this blush to go well with any lip color or eyeshadow look. In fact, Love Joy has become one of my go-to daily blushes. I love the fact that it is not too pigmented but can be layered in case you want the color to be more visible. On my medium-tan skin tone I usually apply about two layers on each cheek and I'm left with a natural flush.

I wonder if it would look good on pale skin, because those are very pretty swatches! And how the heck do you take such great photos like that for FOTD!?!? Photographer on hand or what? You look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI did a blog on LOVEJOY on my luuux account! It's definitely one of my favorite blushes I own!!
ReplyDeleteI love this blush..gorgeous. Wet N Wild has a mineral blush called Ultimate Minerals which is a bronzer called Amber Glow 167 that looks like a dupe as well! It comes in a little pot with a brown lid. It also is a dupe for the infamous Stereo Rose msf from MAC.
ReplyDeleteWet N Wild also just came out with a powder bronzer with no sparkles called Goddess 742A and I love it...it is gorgeous and it would look beautiful on you..check it out!
I was eying this blush I'm trying to build up my Nars collection. I'm glad I saw this post I already have Sunbasque, and I think they look really similar. I'm going to have to pass on this? Any Nars blush you recommend besides Orgasm, Sex Appeal, and Madly? I'm thinking Deep Throat I'm Nc40 too.
ReplyDeleteLove Joy is definitely one of my favorite NARS blushes. :)
