Powder Mini Blush

NARS Powder Mini Blush is the small-format version of a long-running favourite, now reformulated without talc. It is a pressed powder built around four pigment types, designed to deposit colour exactly as it looks in the pan while staying light enough that you forget it is there.

What it actually does

• Up to 16 hours of wear — the figure NARS gives for this formula, with a comfortable, weightless feel.
• Pure Pigment Blend. NARS' name for the four-pigment combination behind the high-impact, true-colour result.
• Naturally-derived and mineral-based pigments are what the brand credits for colour that shows up exactly as intended.
• Pearlescent pigments are included to blur how imperfections read on the skin.
• Superfine, micronised pigments give the silky slip that makes the powder blend out easily.
• Talc-free, and free of parabens, formaldehydes and formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, SLS and SLES sulfates, triclocarban and triclosan.

How to use

1. Land the brush first where you want the deepest colour — that initial contact point takes the most pigment.
2. Buff in soft circular sweeps. The NARS #16 Blush Brush gives heavier payoff; the Yachiyo Brush keeps it gentler. Both are sold separately.
3. To layer two shades, lay a subtle base colour across the cheeks, add a brighter tone in the same family on the apples, then soften the join.
4. For touch-ups, press the colour on with a stippling motion so you do not lift what is already there.

Questions

Does it contain talc?

No — NARS calls out the upgraded formula as talc-free.

Why does the colour look so strong on the first sweep?

Because the heaviest payoff lands wherever the brush touches skin first. NARS advises starting at the spot you want most intense, then blending outward from there.

Are brushes included?

No. The #16 Blush Brush and Yachiyo Brush that NARS recommends are sold separately.
