Prepare Your Skin: Ensure your foundation and concealer are set, and your skin is moisturized for the smoothest application.
Choose Your Brush: Use a fluffy blush brush for a diffused look or a denser brush for more intense color payoff.
Pick Up Product: Swirl your brush gently into the pan. Tap off any excess product on the back of your hand to prevent over-application.
Apply to Cheeks: Smile to find the apples of your cheeks. Lightly sweep the blush onto the apples, blending upwards and outwards towards your temples. For a lifting effect, focus the application higher on the cheekbones.
Build Intensity: Start with a light layer. If you desire more color, repeat steps 3 and 4, building the intensity gradually until you achieve your preferred look.
Everyday Glow: A single, sheer layer provides a healthy, natural radiance perfect for daily wear.
Evening Glam: Layering the blush can create a more pronounced and striking cheek definition for special occasions or evening events.
Complementary Colors: Orgasm Edge pairs beautifully with neutral eye makeup and a soft lip color, allowing the blush to be the focal point.
For extra longevity, lightly mist your face with a setting spray after applying your blush and full makeup look. This can help fuse the powders and extend wear time.
Your NARS Blush - Orgasm Edge comes ready to use in its compact. Simply open the lid to access the product. No complex assembly or preparation is required.
Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types, though individuals with very dry skin might benefit from moisturizing well before application to ensure a smooth finish.
Other Makeup: This powder blush is compatible with virtually all liquid, cream, and powder foundations, concealers, and highlighters. Apply it after your base makeup and before any final setting sprays or powders for best results.
Storage: Keep the compact closed tightly when not in use to protect the product from air and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Handling: As a pressed powder, it can be fragile. Avoid dropping the compact, as this may cause the blush to shatter.
Hygiene: For optimal performance and skin health, regularly clean your makeup brushes. Dirty brushes can affect product application and harbor bacteria. Refer to the 'FAQs' section for brush cleaning tips.
