    *LOVE* This matt blush looks very different in the pan from on the skin. In the pan this is beige/very light brown, with no undertones visible to me. On the skin it unexpectedly turns into a...

    Looking at this, you'd think Francois Nars had lost it. Why would the man who made Orgasm make this brown stuff? Try it -- you'll be pleasantly surprised. A little definition, a little glow...

    I completely agree with lisa_67 in her review below. I avoided buying this for at least a year and a half, purchasing every other beige/nude blush I could get my hands on. I was convinced that Zen...

    Zen is essential in my makeup routine. It is the perfect neutral beige to contour and accentuate cheekbones. Such a wonderful shade and one that I will continue buying over and over again!

    Liked the color on my medium, neutral to warm skin, but didn't love it until I learned to apply it with a kabuki blush. One swipe from hollow of cheeks, under cheekbones to temple, and back down...

    I kept on hearing raves for this blush on the boards so as a result I was lemming this fiercely. But then I got to try it out at the Nars counter today and I wasn't impressed. It was placed on the...

    I was a bit worried about the shade of this blush when it first arrived in my Sephora shipment. When I'd comparison-viewed it on several online retail sites, it looked slightly more pink; when I...

    The PERFECT neutral, contouring blush. Exactly what I was looking for in Lovejoy(returned that one). I love mine :) :) This is a staple in anyone's blush collection. It may not look that pretty in...

    LOVE this blush. Looks very blah in the pan- matte beige/brown. However, on my NC30ish, med. yellow toned (Asian) skin, this instantly contours my cheeks and applies as a browned pink/beige. ...

    Color looks like a yellowy beige/tan in the pan, but turns into a sheer, peachy light bronze color on my skin. I have a light complexion with yellow undertones and sweeping this blush over my...

    I bought this because I'm in love with NARS blushes, and Zen was one of the many shades I want to try. I'm a PPP with yellow undertones, and this blush gives me a whole different look than Orgasm,...

    I love this blush. Like a lot of other reviews have said, this is a great bronzer for pale skin. I'd imagine it would look good on darker skin tones as well, as you can build intensity with this...

    Girls with NW20 skin and ligher know that we have to be careful with bronzers. It if not the right shade you'll end up with an orange face. The smooth, matte texture allows for versatility when...

    Great product, but too warm for me. Consequently, Zen was returned, and will not be a repurchase... but I will continue to purchase NARS blushes.

    I had a makeover at the NARS counter the other day. I told the MA that I hate Laguna (cause I do, it makes me look dirty), and he used this for bronzer instead. So gorgeous. I'm PPP/LLL (NARS...

    ZEN is a MUST HAVE for me. I have never used it alone as a blush. Instead I use it for contouring by applying it slightly under the cheekbones and at the temples, and then sweeping a pink blush...

    I use this as a " bronzer" on my PPP yellow toned skin...great for bringing out bone structure without adding too much colour! Excellent choice for daytime as it has no shimmer.
