Some of the Nars product names leave a lot to be desired don't they haha? It doesn't actually bother me but I can say never send a man to pick you up one of the risqué shades..."The blush is called what!?!".Then when they find out the price tag that accompanies said shade cue a little knee wobble.
Anyway Nars Deep Throat is described by Nars as a shimmery peach, which pretty much sums the shade up. Yes it is peach but it has a heavy shot of pink running throughout, resulting in the shade being warm in tone.In my humble opinion it is not all that dissimilar to the famous Orgasm shade,
well it is a lot lighter in tone but not completely worlds apart.
Deep Throat is not a matte shade but shimmery by nature, it has tiny little flecks of gold glitter spun throughout which help radiate a glow. I have had problems with shimmer based products in the past accentuating faults i.e. my enlarged pores but this one does not sit in my pores nor does it highlight them.
I'm going to keep my ramble on NARS packaging short and simple,I like the look of it, it's sleek and classic but man do I hate the feeling of that rubberised plastic. I guess part of the rubberised plastics appeal is that it absorbs shock resulting in the product inside being safely protected against knock, bumps and general mishaps. Along with the odd feel of the packaging it is a complete magnetic for dirt and fingerprints, but hey look on the positive side the mirror inside is a great size and perfect for on the go touch-ups.
As with all Nars blushes Deep Throat does not disappoint in the pigment stakes, one little swipe was more than enough to add a hearty glow of colour to both cheeks. The blush is soft to touch despite it having tiny flecks of golden glitter/shimmer particles, I guess this is down to the product being finely milled and well pressed. Although the shade is well pigmented it blends out with ease and as all NARS blushes offer a transparent veil of colour you can build any shade up to achieve the desired effect without any worry of it caking or becoming ashy. Although Deep Throat is not the most vibrant of shades I do believe that this would look equally amazing on deep skin tones built up a little
or perhaps sheered out as a gentle highlight shade.
In my experience with Deep Throat being no different NARS blushes last well through out the day.
I normally apply my choosen shade at 8am and it is still very much alive and present
by the time I get home in the evening around 5pm. That is no easy feat for any product as I am a serial face toucher (real technical term there haha!) and I do have oily skin which does not ease up in the winter months...sexy.Yes NARSblushes are expensive but can be justified (I have to justify everything...I am a freak) by the intensive pigmentation levels and the fact one application last all day.

I actually like the color of deep throat more than the color of orgasm.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try a Nars blush soon and this may well be my first - it looks so lovely! I'm the same as you with serial-face-touching and oily skin so it's reassuring to hear how well this can be built up and that it lasts :)

ReplyDelete@eden - I'm with you on that but I don't think they are all that different which kinda annoys me!x
