    I like the color (pinky gold, which you will see I am OCD on if you read my reviews), but it turned out to be way too light for blush. It's a fun eye or cheek highlighter though.

    Nico is an eggshell-colored powder with a very slight satin sheen. This is pretty much exactly like a pressed face powder, only sheerer and without any oil-absorbing abilities. Ladies, you don't...

    this is definately NOT a blush!! the colour is completely nude (it is on my NC15/BE fairly light skin anyway) but with that teeny bit of shimmer that makes your skin glow - but not glittery or...

    I am a makeup artist fror Nars and all I can say is Nico is a highly misunderstood product. It is not a blush at all! It is best used as a perfecting powder. If you are a person who thinks loose...

    This is hands-down my favorite Nars blush. It is subtle, but lovely. I use it on my "natural" face days and it delivers just enough shading to emphasize my bone structure without looking the...

    I really wanted to like this product. I read all the comments, and despite the decidedly mixed reviews, I thought it would suit me. I'm a PPP, so pale I'm almost white, and as a lot of people...

    Let me preface this review by saying that I am extremely fair. That being said, I wear Nico not as a highlighter but as a more subtle alternative to blush. With my fair, slightly freckled coloring...

    I remember when NARS Nico first came out. I thought, "Do the people at NARS think we're suckers?" In photos, Nico looked like a beige foundation powder. I was mystified to see all the raves for...

    Well first I used this as a highlighter, but then I started to use this as a setting powder. I look radiant but next time I will buy a pressed powder with shimmer in a bigger compact, like Chanel...

    Buying this product seems about as pointless as paying for air. Not special air either, just regular air. I just bought this, thinking it would provide that luminous subtle sheen that NARS blushes...

    I used to use this until I found a similar product with less beige pigment (Chanel blush in Satellite, which I have reviewed as well). Like the previous reviewers have said, this is not a blush,...

    Nico, as you can plainly see just from looking at it, is not a traditional "blush" in the sense that it is very light. It's a pale beige with veeeery fine shimmer. Seeing as I'm a PPP (seriously,...

    I hate Nico and I'm usually a very easy going person (mu wise). This is a lousy highlighter , just made my pores look huge (and I don't have huge pores). It's just a flat, boring, chalky color. It...

    Nico is more or less a pressed version of NARS' Machu Picchu or Bare Escentual's Feather light Mineral Veil. Since none of these are very portable, you might find Nico's compact more convenient....

    I really like Nico. I think I'm one of the few people who can actually use it as a blush for some color, and lately I've been using it to contour my cheekbones. It gives me a very nice hint of...

    I really love this blush as a highlighter or for that toned down porcelain skin look (with dramatic eyes). It works well (and shows up) on my skin colour, and I do get enough shimmer. The only...

    This is not a blush at all. The texture even suggests its a pressed powder. Nico is more like a finishing powder. It offers warm glow to your skin as it has very tiny gold flecks. I love to use...

    I was a bit disappointed by Nico. I was never expecting this beigey "blush" to actually give me a flushed effect. I had hoped, however, that it would make a nice, subdued highlighter for the top of...
