My Review of NARS Exhbit A

Hi Beauties, Remember Melisa wearing this same blush? Well it works for both complexions, I just have to wear mine a little lighter. I was so excited to receive this that I wore it today. The package is a little small for the price but a little goes a long way with this blush.  I love this colour for summer, its this coral/ orange-red colour. Great for our skin tones- from light to dark. Key to making a bright blush look subtle is to use a big fluffy blush or powder brush, tap off the excess, smile then apply to the apples of your cheeks, I contoured with Rimmel Bronzer before applying Exhibit A to define my cheekbones. I also choose to blend my blush upwards in circular motions right up to my temple. The point of blush is to give your cheeks definition, make them stand out, you don't want the blush to overpower you and with a bright colour like this it could end up wearing you. If you need more colour keep applying til you get what you are looking for. It takes me about two attempts to get enough colour with alot of blending. I paired Exhibit A with a copperish smokey eye and peach nude lips.  Over all I give it 4 out of 5 just because of the price for the size. NARS Exhibit ($27) at sephora.com.
