Yesterday, my boo took me out for breakfast. As we sat across the table from each other, Graham kept gushing about my complexion. "Your skin looks amazing. Really, you're glowing...it looks so fresh and healthy." That's when I really started beaming, as Mr. Spoiled Pretty throws around compliments like manhole covers (his euphemism, not mine).
So what's my secret? Unfortunately, this time, it had nothing to do with the pregnancy hormones. This glow was a gift from NARS. A few weeks ago when I was in NYC for Fashion Week, I had an opportunity to meet with the NARS team - and I got color matched by James Boehmer, NARS International Lead Makeup Stylist. NARS gifted me with their Sheer Matte and Sheer Glow foundations in Cadiz (medium-dark with caramel and red undertones) - which was a PERFECT match, by the by.Anyways, so my glow yesterday was the result of the Sheer Glow Foundation mixed with the new Orgasm Illuminator. Here's the recipe: mix 2 parts foundation with 1 part Orgasm Illuminator, and apply with a brush or sponge (I recommend the beautyblender). Then go somewhere where your beauty can be truly appreciated, and wait for the compliments to start flying.
Glo-oh-ow get 'em, girl.
PS - I want to take this opportunity to give a big shout out to NARS for their wide range of foundation shades. Far too often, women with deeper complexions find themselves forgotten by makeup brands. Not so with NARS. I'm so glad to have found this foundation. I encourage you to go to your nearest NARS counter or Sephora store and get color matched too. I guarantee you won't be able to leave empty-handed.

i am so so excited to try these products! thanks for this review! your face looks amazing by the way!!
Got a great recipe that I use currently but this suggested recipe makes me wanna run w/ the quickness and get color matched. I'm always willing to make the xtra effort if it will score a compliment ;-).
Hello. And Bye.
I agree, NARS is one of my favorite cosmetics companies simply for how good their shades and pigmentation are. Their foundations match my skin tone alarmingly well, and all of their products are richly pigmented. I especially love that their lip-gloss shades are actually flesh-toned, seems so hard to find these days!
Daneen I was WAITING for you to write about this! I have been wearing Sheer Glow in Tahoe, at first I hated it but I love it. I am definitely thinking about switching from MUFE HD.
This makes me want to go get colour matched and shell out for the Illuminator :)
I think I need the illuminator in my life too ;-)
Wow. It really does work. I need to go out and get one for myself.
I love the foundations of NARS.Actually I feel there are so many brands but since everyones skin texture is different everything does not suit everyone.It is necessary to find out what is best for you.
