Nars have been doing the rounds with their Dual Intensity collections for a while now. I have the Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette which I reviewed here a while back and love. They also have individual shadows which are pretty gorgeous too.
The whole point of calling them dual intensity is that you can use them wet or dry, but they look fab either way, just much more in your face when dampened.
I really wanted to try the blush duos when they came out because I loved the shadows so much. So, I grabbed just one of the Nars Dual Instensity Blush Duos, (they’re expensive), and that was in the shade ‘Adoration’.
As you can see this is a pretty pink pairing. In the usual Nars sleek rubber packaging.
There is obviously a much pinker powder on the right of the palette which of course is your blush. But you also get a much lighter pink highlight shade too.
The shades in the Nars Dual Intensity Blush duos are super pigmented.
They’re also really easy to blend.
The blush shade is a what I would describe as a hot pink shade, and the highlight is lovely and shiny without being too glittery.
As I mentioned you can use the powders as is or you can also use them wet so here they are swatched.

You can see there’s definitely more intensity from dampening the product. I don’t know if you would want your blush this crazy though, or maybe you would? 🙂
As lovely as the ‘Adoration’ shades are, I don’t see myself grabbing for the duo alot. I think the blush is so super pigmented, that it doesn’t lend itself to everyday makeup wearing, for me anyway. Of course, they can be blended out, but if I’m in a hurry to get out the door in the morning I tend to choose something a bit more wearable.
The Nars Dual Intensity Blush duos come in an array of different colours, six to be exact.
You can pick them up from Brown Thomas and they cost €39.
