Part of the fun of makeup is that it allows you to create different looks. NARS Dual-Intensity Blush certainly lets you express yourself in a variety of ways. Not only is the wet/dry formula a completely new approach to cheek colour, it also doubles as a highlighter, giving definition to your jawbone, temples and nose.

The blusher is available in six modern shade pairings – Frenzy, Craving, Adoration, Fervor, Panic and Jubilation ($68 each). The complementary colours can be combined or applied individually. Used dry, each colour delivers a bold flush. Sweep it on with a damp brush instead for a translucent watercolour effect.

The secret to the product’s versatility is NARS’ exclusive Translucent Prismatic Technology, which enables multidimensional effects with a uniquely weightless, luxurious texture. The transparent base consists of light-diffusing pearls and rich pigments that merge with your skin to give your complexion a gorgeous wash of colour that lasts. However you apply it, NARS Dual-Intensity Blush looks beautiful with every skin tone and suits any occasion.

NARS Cosmetics is available at Tangs at Tang Plaza, Robinsons The Heeren, and Sephora (Ion Orchard, Ngee Ann City and Marina Bay Sands). For more information, visit www.facebook.com/narscosmetics.

Apply NARS Dual-Intensity Blush with NARS #23 Wet/Dry Blush Brush ($65). Dampen the brush before application for a watercolour effect. Dab over the apples of the cheeks and swirl in a circular motion to paint on a subtle tint.
