I really wanted to like this. However, it looked like I'd been slapped... or maybe a bruise. I didn't find the color to be especially well-pigmented either. I guess I'll stick to my Orgasm blush instead.

This is my go-to blush and the most natural looking flush that I've found for my white-as-a-ghost complexion. I have received so many "You look pretty!" compliments immediately after I switched over to Sin (I used to alternate between Exhibit A, Desire, and Sugarbomb from Benefit). A little bit goes a long way, and I don't think that I'll have to repurchase this for a long time. Someone below suggested not wearing this with a bronzer. I wear this with bronzer everyday (contour), usually Benefit Hoola (I think that's the name?) or a Smashbox bronzer that I got as a 500 point gift sometime back. The result is breathtaking! Try it out.

Nars Sin has an extremely unique color that is pretty rare and unique. It really shows up as a darker pink on my face which I don't like too much. It makes me look a little older and more mature.

The one thing that I will say is great about this product is the staying power and pigmentation. All Nars blushes have EXCELLENT staying power in my opinion.

I don't really use this product often as I don't like the color much, but hey... thats all just preference.

LADIES, TRY SIN MIXED WITH NARS DESIRE PINK BLUSH. IT WON'T DISAPPOINT! IT MAKES A REALLY PRETTY COLOR TOGETHER. A NARS MAKEUP ARTIST TAUGHT ME THIS TRICK.

This is an amazing color! It's a mauvy, purply, rosy color. It's a perfect fall and winter color. It's gives a sophisticated look and I highly recommend. A good dupe for this is Benefit's "Dallas" which is also a beautiful color- though I personally think its a little redder than Sin.

Love this color!!! Blends perfectly into my med olive skin leaving a pretty rosy flush, almost making me look like I have a tan! So flattering!!!

NARS blushes never seem to let me down!

(I don't know how to include pics directly so just copy this link http://img.makeupalley.com/0/6/9/5/2428292.JPG and see it on my cheek)

I am utterly, exceptionally PALE with pink undertones, and I NEED to wear blush and/or bronzers if I don't want to look like a corps! :)

But being so pale also make most blushers look super harsh on me! Yet I find many NARS blushes to fit my needs, as they have a wide range of blushers that work for super pale skin!

Deep throat is my HG for summer, and I think this has become my HG for winter! (I wouldn't use it with a bronzer, as I suspect they might clash!)

It can be harsh looking if I pile it on (in comparison, deep throat can also look harsh if I pile it on), a dap or two give me the right amount.

It gives me a very natural winter flush! It is almost the color of my natural flush, and it just look so pretty on me! I was so surprised as it look a bit dull in the pan!

It is a very pigmented cool plum with very little sparkle (however NOT mat).

VERDICT: If you aren't into the very pinkish/coral type blushers, or have a very cool skin tone, this might be a good option for you!

NARS I humbly bow to you in appreciation!

Although I would purchase this shade again, it would only be in the summer when I self tan. I'm pretty fair and this shade is a tad strong . It creates a too harsh of a look even when you only use a tiny amount. Sometimes strong pigment isn't always the best.

Hell to the F*** NO I won't repurchase this ugh!! I really wanted to love this blush because I heard it was perfect for vampy looks but I was warned that this looks like a bruise so yeah it was awful on me it just doesnt go with my skin tone I'm very pale with yellow undertones but eww!! Also when I first applied it I noticed my skin heated up a little bit and I was having some irritation...turns out as expensive as nars is they put that cheap ingredient bismuth oxychloride in their products not even drug store brands use that cheap mineral ingredient in their products and seriously $30 for a nars blush what a rip off!!

I purchased this the same day I purchased NARS Casino bronzer. I do think its a nice color, but not for me. I really want to like it - and I guess there really isnt anything wrong with the product. But I have learned that I looked best more matter blushes. All the shimmer is just way too much for me. I'm not a shimmer kind of make up lover. I wear it on occasion, when I am feeling the urge to try it again.

NC 40 (winter color).

I can't describe how much i love this color. Its the perfect cross between flushed and sun kissed. a beautiful deep plum that looks like you've been running down the beack.
I purchased this a few weeks ago and have not reached for any other blush since. I have gotten compliments each time I've worn it.
It's extremely silky and lasts all day on me. I didn't find it as pigmented as other Nars blushes since i actually need to use a few layers, but for fairer skinned ladies that's probably good as the color itself isn't light.
Will definitely repurchase this because no other makeup has been this flattering on me.

I love all of my NARS blushes and I really like this color, but I find myself reaching for it less often than the others. I also have Oasis, and I think I like that one a little bit more.

Overall, this color is really pretty and looks great when it's applied correctly, but if I mess up, it can sometimes make my skin look dirty instead of flushed.

Wow. NC40/42. A gift from a friend. How in the world did I not try this sooner? It is amazing. It's not a bargain at $26.00 US, but fortunately this was a freebie and much appreciated. I'm shocked at how good it looks on my (golden olive) skin. Just the right amount of shimmer and what looks like - berry?

I hope it lasts forever but I will be wearing this everyday as my "go-to" so I'd better make room for this in my budget. It's amazing.

Unfortunately, this blush does not work with my very pale skin. I can never seem to apply it evenly, either. I look unnaturally red cheeked with splotches, it's almost as if I took a red lippie and smeared it onto my cheeks.
I'm sure this would be a lovely color for medium or dark skin tones, just not for the very pale.

NARS Sin is my fourth NARS blush. I have Orgasm, Torrid and Outlaw. I mistakenly thought this blush would be the same consistency as the other three that I already own. The consistency of this one is very soft and creamy -vs- the other ones that are a more hard yet very easy to get just enough on the brush and no fallout. This color has a bit of fallout and to me just the tiniest swipe of the brush picks up way too much product.


I was hoping for a more golden sheen to this blush, or even super tiny microsized golden shimmers/glitters. However this just shows up a muddy lavender tone on my cheeks. Not flattering at all.


It's very pigmented and I have to have a very light hand when applying. Kind of has a just punched in the face effect. Looks good only if you apply just a tiny amount.


As far as comparisons to my other blushes, I reach for this one the least as I just really was hoping for a more interesting color and the consistency is so soft I just really hate having to worry if I'm going to apply too much.


In addition, the NARS packaging INFURIATES me because you pay SOOO MUCH for the blush ($28) and you get this really neat sleek little square compact then you have it for a little while and it gets filthy and starts peeling. All of my other NARS blushes look like any of my ELF blushes now on the outside with bits of rubber finish still hanging on. Just gross. If NARS wants to charge so much they should at least invest a bit more in packaging.


Overall I'm just giving Sin a 2 star since the color just really isn't anything special and isn't a natural look and the consistency is just too soft.

This blush is absolutely beautiful and SUPER pigminted. It actually looks pretty natural on my skintone if I'm careful not to over-apply it. I have a NC 25 to 35 skin tone depending on the time of the year it is. I have found I get the best application with a natural hair brush that isn't very dense so I don't pick up too much pigment as one tap is enough for one cheek. I think I use my sigma F10 brush the most often to apply this as most of my other brushes are synthetic. It doesn't look too sparkly on my even though I have very oily skin. I would definitely repurchase this if I ever lost it, it's a beautiful color.

Such a gorgeous unique shade. It's a soft plum with gold microshimmer. On my skin tone, it shows as a very subtle plum pink but can be layered to be stronger. The shimmer is never too much and not obvious, but shows up as a subtle glow. It's super pigmented, two taps in the pan for each cheek and I'm good. The color lasts long on me as long as it's not too hot. Gives great shape to my face. Not to mention the signature NARS packaging that makes it even lovelier. Absolutely recommend!
