I didn't like this. First when you put it on it looks nice enough but you have to layer so much to get colour which feels like just adding layers and layers of grease. I have oily skin so don't need to be adding grease to my face. I don't like products where I have to continously reapply and this is one of those items. I just find it totally pointless.

I was so excited to get this, and I finally received this from beauty.com. I used my birthday money on it. When I first applied this to my bare skin, it turned a bright hot pink, and I looked flushed. I was disappointed. I wanted a peachy/apricot that I thought I would be getting. However, when I applied this over my foundation, it did show up a peachy/apricot stain. This is very easy to apply, and it blends seamlessly. This is more of a stain and less creamy than the original Multiples. If you can still get your hands on these Multiple Tints, I highly recommend them. The formula is amazing.

Although at first I was intimidated by the bright, orangey/pink shade of this Multiple Tint Stick, I swept it onto my cheeks in the store and fell in love! I looked instantly revived by this bright, pop of colour!! The product lends itself to being one of the easiest methods of application; I twist the stick open, sweep it on, twist it shut, done. Tadah! No need for brushes or sponges or application via your fingers. Although, I do occasionally smudge the product with my fingers, to make sure the color has blended into my cheeks properly. I don't want any giveaway lines where the product ends and where my skin reappears... But once I have this product on - in come the compliments! It is definitely one of my highest rated products because it makes me look instantly awakened and the creaminess lends itself to a warming glow on my skin! I will be re-purchasing this product as soon as mine runs out. But I am in no danger of that happening anytime soon, as I only need to use such a small amount each time I apply it, I am not even half-way! So it is also great value for money!

(There's another review on this same product under "Turks and Caicos Multiple Tint")

I learned about Nars LE Multiple Tints quite late. Actually, I had to hunt down one of the few tubes that were still available where I live (don't care for ordering online if at all possible: I want my items asap once I decide to buy them!) Now I wish I had bought a backup of this one and/or tried one of the other 2 shades that came out.

This is a "hard gel" consistency tint (reminds me of Tart tints, but it's far less sticky) which comes in a tube that very much looks like a regular Nars multiple. I've seen it apply with a foundation brush, but I'd rather run it over my cheeks and then lightly spread with my fingertips (I'm the only one using this product, though). I believe there are tuts on youtube demonstrating how to apply this product.

This particular share looks scary orange in the tube, but shows on my cheek as a very flattering pinky-peach shade (I'm surprised by the amount of pink I get; not complaining, though: straight apricot/peach looks weird on me). You can build up the shade if you're not satisfied with dragging it just once over your cheekbone.

This feels lighter than a regular cream blush and, for me, it's much easier to apply.

As for the staying power, I'm pretty satisfied. Especially if I top it with a light dusting of MAC Hipness blush (I think I could use many other shades: it's just that Hipness is my staple go to shade right now). Then I'm 100% sure that my blush won't budge, and that's pretty amazing to me, since, on account of my very oily skin, blush will inevitably melt off my face after a certain number of hours.

All in all, I really like this product, it is close to HG status for me now and, if I could, I'd def. repurchase it and try other shades.

this is a limited edition product~ the colour looks really intense from the tube, but it goes on unbelievably sheer, which is great as you can gradually build it up!! the colour looks flawless on my tanned skin, everytime i wear it, i feel like i have just came back from the beach and had the best tan on the face, it is wonderful to have and u can always set it with a blush.... i really really like it, and its easy to apply, as i do it with my ring finger, it blends excellent too!! just simply love it!!!

Love the packaging, love the formula and the colour. This makes a lovely glossy peachy shade on the cheeks, it's nice worn on it's own in the summer.

I was on the fence about getting these new multiples but I am so glad I did. I think Mr. Nars has surpassed himself with these. As eveyone mentioned the warm tangerine color is very bright in the tube ,a bit scary really. But the color goes on subtly , leaving a very natural flush - a warm peach in my case. With my tan my skin is now a NW45 and I am here to say Turks and Caicos shows up nicely on my dark skin. If applied lightly I get a nice glow, apply more (it layers nicely) and behold a sexy flush that still looks natural. I use this as blush and contour across the bridge of my nose, temples and chin- just where the sun would naturally bring color to your face. The texture is very light and so easy to work with. It blends like a dream -I have gotten so many compliments about my glowing skin since I started wearing it. Some reviewers have commented that these multiples cannot work over concealer/ foundation. I do not agree . Lightly tap the product where you need it and then gently blend in using a sponge or your fingers , using small tapping motions. This method adds color without rubbing off foundation. The other great thing is that this lasts all day. In the summer my skin is a bit oily and it is a challenge to keep my makeup on. But even after most of my makeup has faded away I still have my beautiful peach glow. For those of you who are fans of Tarte's cheek stain this is definely a step up. The only con for me is that Turks does not show up as a lip color on my pigmented lips.The tubes are indeed bigger than the standard multilpes and will last forever so there is value for money here as well as amazing quality. I am really glad I gave this a try. If you are not sure , give it a try- you can always return if you buy from narscosmetics.com. I hope they make this permanent and bring out more colors!

Turks & Caicos is one of the 3 limited edition Multiple Tints which NARS has recently released. I caved in and bought all three of them, with this one being my latest addition. All of them look shockingly bright in the tube, but are sheer in colour once applied. They also have a slightly different texture to the original Multiples - these tints are not as creamy as their original counterparts - they have a slight gel-type characteristic. However I have found these tint multiples to apply easy, and also I find that they have great lasting power once applied, because they set after application. A good tip is to lightly dust over with loose powder after applying - I find this sets them more and increases their lasting power once applied. I also love that the NARS writing on the packaging matches the colour of the multiple - really cute.


Turks & Caicos is the orange of the trio. In the tube, it is a bright tangerine colour. However when applied onto my skin, it transforms into a coral-toned colour, and gives a great flushed effect - very interesting. Also, because I usually apply over the top of foundation, I find that this mellows the colour even more, so it becomes a peachy-coral. I can't wait to wear this in summer teamed with my Laguna bronzer, because I think they will complement each other nicely.


If you are looking at grabbing one of these tints & are not comfortable with too much colour, then I recommend this one, because it is the most subtle of the three.

To start, I have been searching for a replacement for my HG tint stick, the long-lasting Too Faced Blush Bouquet, which was tragically discontinued several years ago.

I was THRILLED when Nars came out with these multiple tint sticks. I couldn't find them in the stores, so I went on the website and ordered all three shades as soon as they came out.

They are just ok. When you first put them on, they impart a really lovely glow. Lousy staying power, though-- they don't last more than an hour or two, and you have to re-apply at the risk of turning matte hot pink (or bright orange).

Other problem-- egad, the packaging! The moment you put these into your purse, the crappy matte finish starts peeling off the package, making the poor tint stick look like it's got a peeling sunburn. And then, the top doesn't close properly so it inevitably opens up in your purse and smears on your wallet. Extremely annoying.

Despite these problems, I am still determined to make these lovely shades work for my daily routine. I suppose it's because I spent so much money on them.

I am in LOVE! I have all three of these tinted multiples from NARS. If I *had* to rank these, I'd have to say I love this one the most. I got all three of the shades untried of the NARS website because I figured I couldn't go wrong with something with "tint" in the name. I'm really glad I got these because these are absolutely awesome! They have a gel like consistency so they are very smooth and glide onto the skin easily. However, they are slightly tacky once applied on the cheek like the Tarte cheek stains, but I like the consistency/feel of these better than the Tarte ones. They are also on the sheer side as the term "tint" implies. It's a bright scary tangerine color in the tube, but applied, it's a gorgeous coral/peach on me that is NOT orange on my yellow NC30-ish skin tone.
Application-wise, I find these super easy to use. Due to their gel like consistency, I find I don't need to use fingers or brushes with these. I just pat/dab it directly on my cheeks then I blend it out gently with my fingers as needed= perfect application. I absolutely ADORE these and am so happy I got them!!!! While I doubt I'd ever run out, I am sad that they are indeed limited edition :( These babies retail for $38 usd for 15g of product (1 more g than the regular NARS multiples)
