Face of the Day: Taj Mahal Glow

Posted by in FotD | 10 comments

Taj Mahal is an iconic blush shade from NARS, and it intimidated me for a long time. To say that it’s intense is an understatement, even compared to the high pigmentation of most NARS blushes. I tend to reach for it more in the summer, because I find that when my skin is a bit deeper it looks much more striking. Year round though, it makes for a killer eye colour.

Do you have any favourite multi-use products? Eye/Cheek? Cheek/Lip?

    I live and die for Taj Mahal! I have so many backups because i’m scared they are going to get rid of it LOL. I haven’t used it on my eyes before, but it looks awesome! Thanks for the inspiration :)
