NARS Cosmetics Blush 4.8g in shade Gaiety is the brand's cool-toned cotton-candy pink powder blush — a delicate, bright pink with strong blue-pink undertones that lifts fair, cool complexions with a playful flush of colour. The finely milled, lightly satin-finished formula blends seamlessly into the skin for a fresh, almost girlish flush that holds through the day.
About NARS
NARS Cosmetics was founded in 1994 in New York by French makeup artist François Nars, with the original 12 lipsticks shot for Vogue by Mario Sorrenti. The brand's blush range is widely considered one of its strongest categories — particularly its cult Orgasm — and Gaiety sits within the family as the cool-pink counterpoint to the warmer peachy pillars of the line.
Shade — Gaiety
Gaiety is a cool-toned bright cotton-candy pink with blue undertones — playful, youthful and particularly flattering on fair-to-light complexions with cool or neutral undertones. Reads as a fresh "just-pinched cheeks" flush rather than a sun-kissed warmth. Especially complementary on porcelain and ivory skin where warmer peachy blushes can pull too orange.
Key features
- Cool-toned bright pink shade — lifts fair, cool complexions with a delicate flush of colour.
- Mostly matte finish with a subtle sheen — natural-looking, not overtly shimmery.
- Finely milled, blendable powder — applies smoothly and builds without patchiness.
- Long-wearing — designed to hold colour through the day.
- Buildable — sheer on the first sweep, layerable for more impact.
- Iconic NARS black soft-touch casing.
Who it's for
Best suited to fair-to-light complexions with cool or neutral undertones — Gaiety pulls particularly well on porcelain and ivory skin where it reads as a fresh, romantic flush. Less flattering on deeper or strongly warm-yellow skin tones, where it can read chalky. Pair with cool-toned eye looks (mauve, plum, taupe) and a coordinating pink-rose lip for a polished cool-pink makeup look.
How to use
- Tap a fluffy blush brush into the powder and shake off any excess.
- Smile to find the apples of the cheeks, then sweep the brush along the cheekbones, blending upwards towards the temples.
- Build a second light layer if you want a more pronounced flush.
- Pair with a cool-toned highlighter for added dimension if desired.
- Set with a fine-mist setting spray for longer-lasting wear on oily skin types.
