I was on the hunt a good while ago now for something special, something to give me a glow without the shimmer and shine of a "glowy-glow." Well, I found it inside a rather unsuspecting blush because
Nars Douceur is a very versatile blusher. For me, it changes into a sort of bronzer sometimes that has a dustier quality without looking like I put brown/tan on my very fair skin. The pigment in it can pack a punch, so I think darker lovelies will find plenty to like while still being more natural and flattering.

The very finely milled powder, I find, does need to be worked a tiny bit with your brush to get it started on the pigment intensity I am usually looking for (then I blend the leftovers as 'bronze' at my temples, etc.). That is not to say that the compact is hard--just that the powder inside is very subtle and has a melt into your skin texture which can sometimes make it harder to tell where it's gone on without layering.

I find I actually have so little to say about this blush because it does everything and it does it
well! The color, if I haven't put a decent punch onto my skin and set it, will need a touch up after about 4 hours. I admit, I like that this fades instead of becoming patchy or streaky from touching my face as so many others do; I would rather reapply a touch of blush than have to have a full-color cheek minus a finger smear! Plus, the compact has a very good sized mirror, and thus, I don't mind carrying this little guy around for a quick polish. Also, I don't know how I feel about it good or bad, but Nars does not even attempt to provide a small brush in the compact which sucks on a convenience level but is nice if you are a stickler about quality. Yes, for some it would ruin the overall worth of the product to have a cheap little brush shoved in.
