#16 Blush Brush

NARS #16 Blush Brush is a rounded, domed brush made for one job: laying blush on the cheeks evenly. The curved head has no hard edge, so pigment goes down soft and blends as it goes rather than leaving a visible stripe you then have to fix.

Shape	Domed head
Formulation	Powder
Coverage	Sheer to medium
Bristles	Synthetic, hypoallergenic

What it actually does

• Sweeps pigment onto the cheeks. NARS built the dome shape specifically for moving powder blush across the cheek in one motion.
• Blends while it applies. The brand says it diffuses as it blends, so the edges soften during application instead of needing a second buffing brush.
• Lands sheer to medium. Its stated coverage range means you build up to the intensity you want rather than committing in the first pass.
• Suits sensitive skin. NARS notes the synthetic, hypoallergenic fibres are well suited to sensitive skin and make the brush easy to clean.
• Holds its shape. The fibres are described as durable and expertly shaped, which matters on a domed brush — once the dome collapses, the soft edge goes with it.

How to use

1. Load lightly. Swirl the tip of the dome into your blush, not the whole head.
2. Knock off the excess on the back of your hand before the brush meets your face.
3. Sweep, don't press. Move along the cheek with the curve of the head and let the dome do the diffusing.
4. Build in thin layers if you want more colour — this is a sheer-to-medium brush by design.
5. Cleaning: massage a drop of mild soap or brush shampoo into the bristles and rinse until the runoff is clear. Keep the handle dry, reshape the dome with your fingers, and let it dry lying flat or suspended head-down.

Questions

Can I use it with cream blush?

NARS lists its formulation as powder, so that is what it is designed around. Cream products will sit in the dome and need washing out more often, which shortens how long the shape holds.

Are the bristles animal hair?

No. The bristle type is listed as synthetic, and NARS describes the fibres as hypoallergenic.

How often should I wash it?

There is no official frequency in the product information. Practically, a powder brush used daily benefits from a wash every week or two — and NARS points out these fibres rinse clean easily, so it is not a chore.

When will it arrive, and how do I pay?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. You can pay by credit card, debit card, Instapay or mobile wallet — we do not offer cash on delivery.

Can I return it?

Only for items that are defective, damaged or expired, and only if you tell us within 1 day of delivery. Once we verify the issue, the refund is issued to your original payment method within 15–30 days. We cannot accept a used brush back for change of mind.
