Luv this blush soo much! Such a pretty deep raspberry color. I had to seek this blush out,being the blush fiend I am after another Mua'er suggested I had to have it. I finally found it from a reputable EBay seller,for a reasonable price. Too bad Nars discontinued this color because it is GAWJUS! I can make this work for a every day color or I've even worn it out. It's beautiful with Superb highlighter. Those 2 together on brown skin are perfect. It makes for a pretty glowy cheek,try it:)

I scrounged eBay for both Crazed and Outlaw and now I feel stupid. Honestly if you want both Crazed and Outlaw, you don't need both at all. I would put up one of them for swap but I am such a hoarder so you will have to pry it from my hands. Out of the two, I like Crazed a bit more. The color is much richer in my eyes compared to Outlaw. Crazed seems darker and dare I say warmer than Outlaw but I could be wrong because looking at it now in this horrible artificial lighting makes it hard for me to tell. Both have shimmer but with Crazed you need to apply lightly or else you can go overboard. Outlaw I can be a bit more heavy-handed. My skin tone for reference is a NW45 or higher, since I don't wear MAC foundation I am not 100% sure.

It's a pretty defined color fit for an occasion or a statement look.

My favorite blush of all time; excellent pigmentation. I wish NARS didn't discontinue this! :(

I'm not sure why NARS would ever discontinue Crazed -- it's gorgeous! It looks reddish in the pan, and very sparkly; on the face, it is neither. On me (NW5 - 10ish -- I use a MAC 187 with this!), it applies as a flushed, cool raspberry on the cheeks and brightens my entire complexion. It's so pigmented, I have to use a light hand to avoid looking feverish, but it's such a beautiful color -- it finds its way into my makeup bag frequently and has become one of my absolute favorite NARS blushes. I love it -- and while I would definitely repurchase it, I don't think I could ever run out! (I did get a backup, though, just in case!)

I received this blush in a swap and I'm so glad I got to try it! It's a deep raspberry color and I must admit it looks very scary in the pan. But if you use a light hand with a fan brush you get a beautiful flush. Whenever I wear it I look like I just came in from a quick run. :D lol The packaging sucks! NARS packaging always looks good at first but the longer you have it the dirtier it gets! -__- It also gets a bit sticky after a while. Ew. But other than that and the splurge this blush is great. Why is it discontinued?! ;___;

I'm so sad this color is discontinued! It's such a beautiful intense magenta pink. (like others say.. a raspberry pink) with a slight shimmer. I'm a MAC NC40 for reference. It is VERY pigmented, so a little goes a long way. I barely have to tap the blush and I get the prettiest flush of deep pink on my cheeks. Gorgeous! Definitely get your hands on this blush if you can! They don't have it any longer on Sephora.com or NARS.com since it was recently discontinued. I saw it recently on drugstore.com in stock.

i love this color. It's a raspberry pink with gold shimmer.
For me, this color gives a very lovely flush and
it has a great staying power. I've been using it
for 1 year and if I ever run out, I would buy it
again. I love nars blushes except for their
packaging, it gets dirty very easily and
feel sticky after using it for a while - -*

I've been using this blush for about a year now and have just now decided to write a review. Nars Crazed is a raspberry colored blush that shows up very well on my NC43 skin tone. It gives you this, I'm flushed from the snow look. I would recommend this color on everyone, regardless of skin tone. Just remember that, Nars blushes are extremely pigmented so use it sparingly.

I have to disagree with the reviewer below that this is similar to MAC Dollymix. Dollymix is a blue toned candy pink on the pan while Crazed is raspberry red. Totally different!

Crazed is really scary on the pan, like TAOS but when you used with a light hand (only TAP the brush folks) it gives me a nice pink flush..

Will not buy again coz this will last me a long... long.. time! =)

I Adore this blush, it's really similar to MAC's Dollymix but with the added benefit of staying power. It looks great on my warm skin and gives me a babydoll look. I pair it with Bobbi Brown's rosy lip gloss, It's a dream, and perfect for women of color.
EDIT: Why would they ever discontinue this, I seriously want to cry and for good reason. I can't find it anywhere, I have checked all of the major department stores. If anyone finds more please shhot me a message.

This is my favorite NARS blush. I am a woman of color and this is a great color for me. This blush is HIGHLY pigmented but that just mean that you need to use a lighter touch when applying it. Also this blush has lasted me forever. You only need to use a little bit to get the look you want. I also like to use the powder on my lips under a lip gloss. I think that this is the best pink for us black girls but I have found the MAC's Minerialize Blush in Love Thing is the exact same color (and I think cost a little bit less). But if you are a black girl trying to get into NARS in highly recommend starting with this blush.

Crazed is the right name for this blush. With too much of it on, a woman can truly look crazed. I would have given it a 5 except for the intensity of the color, but it is an investment, ladies, so let's not complain about the price! It is a luscious raspberry hue with a subtle elegant sheen, very cool-toned for my skin (MAC NW20) and it brings out the blue in my bright blue eyes. With a subtle touch and blending with a cotton ball, I achieved a glam look with it along with eyeshadows in gray and deep burgundy. It is not a blush for me to wear casually but when I want to dress up and wear certain colors (dark jewel tones), this blush is perfect from the fall well into early spring when I can blend it with a little bronzer. Texture is so silky it's almost non-existent.

I'll re-purchase but I figure I've got years worth of feeling a little bit crazed in this sleek black compact.

It gives a great pop of color to my cheeks! I agree with everyone, that a little goes a long way and you need a light hand to apply it. It stays on really well on my oily skin. Nars blushes are a great investment.

This blush is a very very cute raspberry color. I anticipated that it will turn too purple on my asian NC20 skin, but no - it worked wonders. :) Some people may have thought that this blush would make lighter skin tones look like a clown - this is when you need to put on little and blend well, because the color payoff is really intense.

It was recommended to me by my favorite YouTube guru, but it's a little too pink for me. I prefer Orgasm or Torrid over this. I give it 4 stars because the color is beautiful, but it's just not my cup of tea. NC45

I was worried about spending 25$ on a blush..but the color looked super pretty on olive skin tones (I googled it.) and I had to buy it! It is the most AMAZING blush I have ever owned. I also read a review from a Nars Cosmetic Artist toting Crazed as suitable for all skin tones <(so I chose it over Orgasm...which is also said to match all skin tones.)

It's HIGHLY pigmented...so if you are like me and use a heavy hand (lol),..please be careful when applying. It looks extremely natural and gorgeous. I'm serious...this blush looks scarily natural. <(That's a good thing!) I can't rave enough about this blush...buy it and see for yourself! This has made me a true believer in splurging every now in then on an investment that is TRULY worth it!!

This blush looks natural on me. I love the raspberry red with shimmers description of it. I have to use a very light hand even with my MAC 187. I wouldn't buy this again as I think this pan will last me a very loooong time and I have 5 other NARS blushes to finish.

I was so intimidated by this shade! I am an NW20-25 and this shade looks super pretty and natural on me...with a light LIGHT hand. This is probably the most pigmented shade of blush I've ever seen in my life and I am quite the beauty junkie. It's a very sweet raspberry shade with subtle shimmer. I use my skunk brush and just barely tap the surface, give the brush a shake and then apply lightly to my cheeks.

This is NARS blush with shimmer done right. More of a sheen or complimentary glow. This blush is very pigmented so it's always best to start light and build up and it shouldn't take much. It's a lighter version of outlaw on me and I love them both. For $25, this blush will last a long time. It's still there at the end of the day (at least on the side of my face I'm not leaning on my hand). Another wonderful MUA swap find. Keep 'em coming NARS.
