Lots of NARS blush shades were added to the brand’s colour line up in 2020 and I have the photos and swatches of all ten new shades right here. Rather excitingly it includes the return of a 2013 limited edition, Coeur Battant. Enjoy!!

All these blushes laid out together is like serious eye candy. This was such a fun and satisfying swatching session!

I have quite a few favourites, which I will share shortly, but here’s the full line up of new shades:

There are a couple shades that need a tiny bit of further chat. So as I have briefly touched on, not all the newness is technically new because Coeur Battant, that amazing fuchsia pink, is a returning limited edition from 2013. It was very much loved and I think a lot of beauty junkies will be very happy to welcome it back!

Also, check out Orgasm X!! This is NARS’ iconic universal Orgasm shade, but deeper. So if you have a darker skin tone, or want something that makes a lot more of an impact, you might be about to fall in love with NARS Orgasm X. I love it!

I had a lovely time swatching these shades. I think I have a few new faves. They are in two rows.

Behave, Dominate, Coeur Battant, Tempted and Savage:

Illicit, Aroused, Orgasm X, Zen, Thrill:

I absolutely love NARS blushes, and these do not disappoint, perhaps with the exception of Zen which I struggled to swatch well, mainly because it’s pretty much the same colour as the skin on my arm. I’ll need to try it on my face, but I can’t see it being very ‘blushy’. I think if you are wanting to go super-nude, it could work really well.

My favourites are Behave, Dominate, Savage, Aroused and Orgasm X. Tom Ford actually have a blush called Savage that I love, but it’s actually nearer to the NARS Tempted shade, although not totally dissimilar. NARS Savage is gorgeous and coppery.

Behave is a prettiest, easy to apply and wear matte, whereas Dominate will require a lighter hand. It will look beautiful loaded on to the eyes with matching cheeks.

Aroused is a beauty – I love a deep berry blush and the satin finish is beautiful. And finally I think Orgasm X is going to be a real winner. It is such a stunning intense coral with Orgasm’s signature gold. I want to wear it on my eyes too.

The ten newer shades join 15 existing shades that remain in the full collection:
