I love this blush. In fact, I love all NARS blushes. I just bought this two days ago. After trying it on at the counter, I had to have it. It gives my cheeks a beautiful pop of color. It looks very natural and goes on smoothly. It gives me that just-worked-out kind of glow. Granted, I cannot believe I am spending over 20 dollars on blush, but I think the quality of NARS blushes are amazing. I can't wait to buy another!! OH, I have olive-skin with brown eyes and brown hair.

On me, NARS blushes are usually hit or miss-- Outlaw really works for me. A little goes a LONG way on my pale skin, and the color looks so natural!

I picked this up last week and I'm loving it! It's the same great quality as my other NARS blushes, and the shimmer is subtle enough for me to use it during the day, making it surprisingly versatile and practical. I'm a MAC C2/C3, Stila 20 Watts, and I really love the color, it gives my cheeks the nicest rosy glow . I do need to be careful about how much I apply though, as it is very pigmented. I think that this is the color you want if you couldn't get Sin to work for you. It's beautiful and just perfect for fall. A new must-have in my book, I'd definitely purchase again!

Wow I just do not see warmth or any plum in this at all. I do see heat though - this color looks like a hot flush on me. I am a cool toned FFF brunette and this turns quite red on me, producing an "I just came in from the cold" flush. The odd thing is that it looks like a cool toned berry pink with gold shimmer in the pan, but turns so deep and red-pink on me. Can barely see shimmer on the skin-just a bit. Heavily pigmented so a gentle tap of the brush is required. This blush gives me a "China Doll" look according to my mother. As with most Nars blushes, they will look completely different from one person to the next depending on coloring, application, and skin tone.

This is exactly how I wanted Sin to look on me! Outlaw is definitely the warm cousin of cool Sin! This is the perfect berry blush with goldy shimmers. I am loving it. A little goes a long way and lasts all day. My only gripe is the lousy rubbery packaging that Nars use, it peels and gets dirty and I just hate that as I like my make-up packaging to look nice and clean. I would definitely buy this again. Bring on Crazed!!!

This blush is *exquisite*...I think this one tops my favorite list out all of the NARS blush I have(Orgasm, Sin and Passion).This blush pairs perfectly with my NARS Scandal lipgloss for a sexy evening look.For a more subdued daytime look, I like to dab Outlaw on my lips and top it with MAC "Oh Baby" lipglass (yes, it sounds strange, but it is SO pretty!).
NARS has turned me into a blush junkie. To anyone who has never tried NARS blush and is considering it, OUTLAW would be a fantastic place to start.

One word, GORGEOUS! I was afraid this would be like Sin which looks muddy on me but it wasn't and I love it. It has more pink and Sin has more plum. I have blonde hair, blue eyes, golden skin tone and it is perfect. A highly pigmented soft raspberry color with golden shimmer. It is very natural looking and such a beautiful sheer color. Nobody does blush like Nars and Outlaw is just SPECTACULAR!

Warm rosey pink with shimmer, which again doesn't show up on me at all - the color also contours my cheeks well in a very natural way that doesn't appear over the top. Highly pigmented - one swipe of the brush picks up enough for one application. I won't repurchase this because of the packaging, but I'm lemming Crazed which is even rosier and darker. I'm hoping at least some shimmer will show up on my face at some point. Love the colors, just need more shimmer!

Amazing color! I got my makeup done at Sephora and the MA used this on me. Beautiful berry shade that can be as light or dark as you like

As of Nov 1st 2003 I'm changing my review for this. At first I thought that I loved this shade.....what was I thinking??! I have a light skintone (MAC C2) and this shade is just far too dark and reddish for me to be able to pull it off. I pulled it out and wore it to work last week and when I caught a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror I was embarrassed by the fact that I had walked around all day with it on my cheeks. For some people this color will work, but on me this is just wrong wrong wrong! :(

Great blush! This is a straight warm rose blush with subdued gold shimmer. On my skin, it looks like a warm pink flush. Like most Nars blushes, it's rather pigmented so be warned. Outlaw has skyrocketed to the top of my favourite blushes at the moment! Beautiful and flattering for many (but warm-toned girls would probably suit best).

While this isn't my favorite Nars Blush, it is definately prettier than most others. I have to agree with other reviews, this is definately similar in intensity to Sin, but less plum and more pink, and it's a warmer shade. On my PPP skintone, the shimmer doesn't show up very well. Sadly, the prices have been raised to $22.50, but you still get a lot of blush and great Nars quality.

This is now my favorite blush. It looks the same color as when I blush naturally. Love it on my apples. It looks glowy and gorgeous. I think it looks like Sin minus the mauve and plus more rosey color. I'm NW20 and I don't find it to dark.

Love this blush. I'd say this has the shine and intensity of Torrid, but it's a cooler strawberry-like color. I don't think this is quite as bright in person as it appears in the swatch on Sephora's site.

You only need a dab -- the application isn't quite as critical as with Exhibit A, but it is still easy to overdo it. I just dab the brush to the cake lightly, blow on the brush, and apply. It is annoying that NARS has raised the prices again, but I think the blushes are worth it because they're so pigmented, they'll last forever.

I have pale skin with yellow undertones and this looks really natural on me when applied lightly. I was afraid it would be too cool at first, but it's not at all.

It looks really good with Nouba lipstick, also from the fall collection.

Great and beautiful shade from NARS. Similar to Sin but while Sin is plummy this has more of a rose/red tint to it than plum but it does have the same gold shimmer to it. I did lose my tan and it didnt work as well as when I am tan ( nc30-35) so I think it works better for me when I have more color than when I am pale (nc20). A lot of pigment so while the blush went up in price ($22.50) you still get some bang for your buck.

I was a little worried about trying this one because it is kinda similar to Sin (which doesn't suit me at all) but the other ladies were right - this blush is definitely more flattering than Sin. It's warmer, and more rose than plummy Sin. This looks outstanding when combined with a bronzer. It gives me a lovely summer look. This can be applied sheerly for a soft glowing rose, or layer more on for a flush of color.

Boo hoo. I think this is so beautiful in the package but it doesn't work on me. It goes on a little more red than Sin and just looks ruddy on me, not flattering at all.

I was so disappointed that Outlaw didn't work for me b/c it is so gorgeous in the pan. I'm a very pale PPP with cool to neutral undertones. I tried applying this blush very lightly but it just made my cheeks look red & flushed (and not in a good way). Maybe Outlaw is too warm-toned for me; I'm not sure. It's a very vivid shade and would look great on most MMMs or GGGs, but PPPs beware. I ended up returning Outlaw and repurchasing SD Belize blush instead.

I thought lovejoy and torrid were the best NARS blushes could get, but "outlaw" outdoes those two (although I still love the other two too). It gives a gorgeous, natural looking berry with a hint of plum flush on the cheeks and has very slight golden shimmer. Definitely less plum than Sin (which didn't suit my MMM skintone). Another long lasting, versatile blush totally worth the price!
