So I was going through my stash and I found this Nars blush called LoveJoy that I wore a lot a while back and I was just admiring it and reminding myself that I should start wearing it again. Then I reached for one of the few MAC products I own and noticed they were very similar in shade, turning it over I come to find out they are both called LoveJoy. So here we are!
I am going to put these to blushes in a face off and see who comes out the victor.
As you can see they are very similar in hue. I love this color, its a nice copper brown with gold flakes.
The MAC has a lot more flakes and has a tougher texture.
The NARS blush has less gold flakes and is velvety soft to the touch.
Swatches side by side you can clearly see the difference in the two LoveJoy blushes.
Blended out you can see that the MAC is the warmer of the two, but NARS is a more sheer coverage.
The fact that you can actually see the product through the packaging, makes reaching for it easier.
NARS well known matte rubber type packaging screams luxury and is very slim,
great for on the go touch ups.
Final verdict
It really all depends on the look you will be going for.
MAC offers high glam, while NARS offers a classic look.
I personally don't like a lot of glitter in a blush since I have had acne issues and this only drew attention to my acne. But since my acne isn't that big of an issue any more KNOCK ON WOOD! I will reach for it when the need arises for a blush with a high amount of shine.
I like the texture of the NARS blush, I am glad I found it again. I don't have any complaints on this blush.
The feel, the coverage and pigmentation are everything you would expect from a high end product.
