NARS The Multiple Review

Ladies - this a must have product; especially if it's within your budget range. My sister lives in Iowa, USA and sends me NARS cosmetics (for a much cheaper price there). I've never tried a matte multiple product before and was excited to try it out. I was sent two of The Multiple - Altai and Laos. The colour literally melts into your skin...literally melts! It was suggested to me by my sister that I apply it wet; I now know why. Applying this wet gives your skin a sheen finish - in a sense, giving you imperfectly, smooth, glowing skin. I used The Multiple as an all over blush glow and also used it to contour right under the cheeks - the colours truly do pop!

I got The Multiple in Portofino as a gift over a year ago. It's perfect for travelling as it reduces the need for multiple makeup items. I use it mostly as a blush, but have also used it on my lips. It has a wonderful sheer and natural finish, and often looks as if I have naturally rosy cheeks rather than having blush on. It is super easy to apply, and you can even do it on the go as it only takes seconds to apply. I 'stamp' the blush on both cheeks, blend with my fingers, and I'm done! Although I use this on a regular basis, I've barely used much of this stick. The price may seem quite expensive, but I see myself using this for a few years at a time, so may work out to be less expensive than a regular blush.

This is exactly as it says it is! I have one of these tubes and I use it to highlight, as a blusher, lip colour and as a base for eye shadow! So versatile, I am in love.

It comes in a nice, sleek black tube - which is very high quality - clicks shut for security - which is perfect if you want to have it with you on the go, or if you're throwing it around in your makeup bag, the lid will not come off! It's very well made. It's also got a nice, round big end so that you can get a lot of coverage by just slapping it on in one go.

My colour is a corally-champagne pink that is a really nice nude lip colour, but also a beautiful highlighter. I think it's a colour that suits literally everyone - judging from the many different you tubers I've seen using this. It's one of those products that enhances and beautifies the skin, and is super blend able.

It's a really nice creamy consistency, that is sheer but can be built up. I personally love that it is really sheer, as I don't like my blush/highlight to be too obvious.

I also really like how easy it is to apply. I've used a couple different stick foundations/blushers before and I've found that they were very hard and difficult to pull across the cheek, this one I don't even have to use energy on.

Depending on the look I'm going for - I apply it to dry skin for a matte look, and apply it on damp skin for a dewy finish. It works perfect both times, and I've never seen a product do that before! Did I mention how versatile it was??

I like to use my fingers to blend it out as I think it works best. I haven't tried it with a brush or sponge, but I can image it possibly removing the product off your face?

You do want to use your fingers anyway. The warmth and oil from your skin helps to melt the product into your skin.

It is relatively expensive - I'm sure there are dupes on the market, but honestly for the sleek design, quality and the versatility I probably will be buying this forever.

I recently saw this in a Shaaanxo tutorial and was really keen to try it. I was tossing up between the powder blush or this and since my skin is dry anyway, I thought I'd go for a cream texture.

I really like the packaging. It's minimalistic and the lid clicks in so it won't come off easily - which is ideal if you chuck it in your handbag for touch-ups during the day.

The consistency is quite sheer and you can use either fingers, brush or apply direct and blend it out. I personally prefer to apply with my fingers, that way I can build the colour rather than have a stripe on my face or a big blob of colour.

The product itself is creamy and has a nice sheen to it leaving you with glowing, dewey looking skin. The peachy colour is pretty and natural looking which is perfect for me as I don't like the hardcore blush look.

I also love the fact it's a convenient size, and you don't need brushes to apply it so you can literally chuck it in the handbag and you're away.

I bought a tiny sample sized multiple in Orgasm after hearing all about it from every YouTube beauty guru possible. I was pleased that I only bought the small one as the colour did not match my skin at all, it looked as if I had a glittery rash, the consistency was a mixture of chalky yet doughy, it would not blend into my skin at all and if I used it straight on to my skin it would crumble in the tube. The colour said a peachy pink but on my skin it was just pink which doesn't suit me at all. I have tried it again in other shades and proffered those, I guess this one just didn't fit right with me.

I adore a a multipurpose product, although a tad on the expensive side you can justify it because of its many uses. Perfect from a condensed makeup kit for travel. Lasts awhile too, so thats a bonus. I love nars for quality.

I have the copacobana shade which is a champagne-ish colour perfect for highlighting. I use it under or I too of my foundation and it builds and blends beautifully. I usually just wipe it on straight from the stick and blend it out although I don't think this would work for a darker or brighter shade. The packaging is awesome, beautiful and sleek like the other products from nars.

I have a couple of these in various shades. Mainly because my favourite shade was discontinued so I had to buy a few to find a comparable colour. I use this as a blush - it gives a nice shimmer and is easy to use.

Can't say I've noticed any effects on my skin due to the vitamin e, or any anti oxidant effects but the product is great regardless.

I just smudge the stick on where I want it and blend with fingers or a brush. If I have done a full, heavy foundation I did find when applying it can wipe away the foundation rather than sit on top - especially if the stick is cold (I sometimes stick it in my pocket or a warmer room for a while before using if it's super cold).

I love that the shimmer is shimmer - not glitter. I hate those tiny dots of glitter that are in some shimmery products - they just aren't for me.

I will and have repurchased this item and look forward to adding more to my collection.

I was very excited to receive this in a Mecca Beauty loop box as I'm obsessed with cream products. It is in the shade Orgasm which is a coral pink. I tap it on my checks with my finger and blend lightly with a sponge. It's a gorgeous light flush of colour with a pretty sheen. I also set it with the Nars orgasm powder blush to make it last longer etc. I tried it on the lips as my other cream blushes are stunning on the lips, but I wasn't a fan of this one on there
