NARS Pop Goes the Easel Blushes in Threesome, Misconduct and Peep show

The new NARS Pop Goes the Easel collection Blushes (the collection is a Nordstrom exclusive)
My mom has never really been a makeup girl, but if she were to strike up a conversation with me about NARS blushes, I hope to gawd she doesn’t bring up the new blushes from the Pop Goes the Easel collection, because one of them is called Threesome, and I DO NOT want to be having a conversation with my mom that involves the word “threesome.”

NOPE. Can’t do it. Not gonna do it!

But if it were you and me? totally fine. Threesome, Misconduct and Peep Show. Those are the three new powder blushes in the NARS Pop Goes the Easel collection. They’re $30 each, limited edition and only available at Nordstrom.

Misconduct is a warm peachy plum with golden sheen (like a really sheer version of NARS Sin), Threesome is a matte amazing baby pink, and Peep show is a matte bright reddish pink.

These literally go hard

I don’t want to stir up the makeup conspiracy theorists, but these three blushes feel drastically different to me than my normal NARS blushes.

NARS blushes are usually my “ride or die” blushes, but these feel… I wanna say crunchy, but that’s not right. Stiff? When I run a finger across a pan, it picks up very little product, which is unusual for a NARS blush.

I checked the back to see if they were made someplace other than Canada, which is where NARS blushes are normally made, but they weren’t. I dunno… maybe I got a funky batch.

They’re at their best when applied with the right brush

Even though these don’t feel super soft to me, they are better when I apply them with a thick, dense brush. You gotta plan to do a lot of swirling in the pan, too.

What stunning boxes
The final verdict

If I hadn’t spent 10-plus years obsessing over NARS blushes, I might not even notice anything different about these, but I do.

Maybe it’s just me. maybe they’re supposed to be this way, but I prefer my ride-or-die Madly, Amour, sin and Torrid.
