NARS Deep Throat Blush
NARS Deep Throat Blush
NARS Deep Throat Blush ($28.00 for 0.16 oz.) is described as a “flirty, sheer peach.” It’s a warm coral with a hint of pink and a golden shimmer-sheen. NARS Amour is darker, more vibrant, and has no shimmer. MAC Fleet Fast is slightly darker, more orange. Tarte Glisten is very comparable, though it has a stronger gold shimmer. NARS Orgasm is a touch lighter and more shimmery. theBalm Frat Boy is like a matte version–the colors are very, very similar.
Deep Throat is often the recommended alternative to those who didn’t like Orgasm. It’s not as shimmery, and I think the shimmer is a little more subdued in a way in Deep Throat–more of a sheen than a full-on shimmer. It’s warm without being too orange or red, so it won’t make cheeks look burnt. It’s an excellent color for everyday wear, because it has buildable color–it can be soft, barely there and used more as a soft warm glow or intensified for a pop of coral on the cheek. The texture is soft and smooth, and as described, it’s one of the “less” pigmented blushes NARS makes–but you can get to pan color if desired. It’s just not like Exhibit A where you have to use a feathery touch when applying. Deep Throat wore well for seven hours, and I noticed some fading along the top of my cheeks after seven and a half hours.

I had this blush for years and I completely forgot about it. Time to take it out!
Some days I am left thinking “What doesn’t look good on Christine”.. seriously!
My very favourite everyday blush! It’s funny, because on my neutral-cool complexion, I find it looks more pink and not as warm- perhaps it “melds” a little with my natural skin colour.
This is my favorite blush by NARS. I’m actually wearing it today. I feel like it’s subtle enough to be an everyday blush, but not as boring! I prefer this over orgasm but they’re really nice layered together as well! It would be my favorite blush, but that would be Mac lilicent 🙁
How does it compare to Benefit Coralista?
@cchloe CORALista is pinker/redder!
This blush looks lovely. Although the name is a little blush-worthy itself, the colour looks great. I’ve never owned NARS anything but I think blush will be what I start with! Thanks for the great swatches!
Would you recommend this for fair-light ladies with cool undertones? I’ve been eyeing this for a while! Thanks for the review!
Yes, I think it could work!
heee, I got my first DT blush today! I:)
I don’t mean to be a prude and all .. but I have to say that I really despise Nars’ name for products.
@mpca66 There are only a *few* products, out of more than 100 that have names like this; the majority are named for geographic locales or famous people. I don’t get why people assume all the product names are of this ilk.
Gorgeous! I need this in my life!
my favorite NARS blush ever! It’s my go to no-fail color. it always looks perfect and never overdone!
Christine, would you say this is similar to Benefit’s Sugarbomb?
@Daria_21 Sugarbomb is a lot lighter and pinker!
This is my favorite blush, for the very reason you provided. I hated Orgasm…found it way too shimmery..but the color and sheen of this blush is perfect for me. And it’s buildable, as in the pics you provided wearing it. I apply is very lightly as my complexion is light, but it’s buildable which makes it perfect for when i have a slight tan in the summer.
I love this blush! It was suggested to be by the Nars counter girl after I said I hated Orgasm coz it was waaaaay to glittery for me. It’s a similar colour to Orgasm but more flattering coz you don’t end up with glitterbal cheeks! So pretty for everyday wear.
What brush do you use to apply blush?
What a pretty color!! I want it
MAC 116
@Christine (Temptalia) Thanks my sister has that brush! i need to steal it then
This was my first NARS blush, and I still absolutely love this one! It’s pigmented, but not so much so that you have to be overly careful with it. As you mention, this blush layers nicely! This one, I think, looks great on so many skin tones. This is definitely in my top 5 NARS blushes, lol; it’s currently battling with Gilda for the #1 spot.
ANOTHER blush i want. i’m sort of a noob when it comes to blushes so this new found love is going to be weary on my wallet. I love the color, but i don’t like the names NARS goes with. It just irks me.
@MIRIANV It seems it’s just the more popular items that have “offensive” nmes. Most of the 100+ items are named after geographic locales or famous people.
Got to say I like it more than Orgasm for sure.
Deep Throat along with Super Orgasm were the 1st Nars blushes I purchased. I don’t wear deep throat very much, I much prefer Angelika, Douceur, Sex Appeal or Gaiety. But it wears long and definitely it’s a pretty shade.
Deep Throat is my holy grail blush. I love it year round and will continue to repurchase it forever. Great review Christine (:
I just hate the name of this blush too much to buy it!
🙁
Yay, it’s my favorite NARS blush! I tried Orgasm and didn’t like it much…and then I kept my eye on Deep Throat for months and swatched it whenever I was in the store. I finally just bought it at the beginning of this summer, and I’ve been wearing it almost every day! It’s really lovely.
This is my fav blush so pretty! I have a couple of the others by NARS (Orgasm and Sin) but I do not wear those as much as I wear this one.
This is my absolute favorite blush of all time! I wore it on my wedding day, and it was gorgeous!
Christine, would you consider doing a blush series like this with Illamasqua?
No, not at this time!
Christine (Temptalia), how do you think this compares to Tarte’s Blissful?
@Liz9969 Blissful is more orange and neon!
@Christine (Temptalia) Hi Christine, It’s so strange. I just went back and looked at your review of Blissful. I can swear it is a different from the Blissful blush that I own. . The Blissful that I have in my possession is much pinker than the blush in your review. In fact, I don’t wear Blissful that much because I find it too pink. How strange.
Love it!! I trust this girls review with everything!
It’s my everyday blush! By far, my favorite!
This is my favourite NARS blush!!!
Pretty! For some reason, I never even considered Deep Throat–I just figured it would be more of the same as Orgasm except times ten (I didn’t like the intense shimmer in Orgasm and figured Deep Throat was more pigmented and glittery). Definitely have to check this out at the counters now!
Now that I see the swatches of Deep Throat, I wish I had bought this one instead of Orgasm… is gorgeous! Deep Throat will be the next blush I´ll buy no doubt 🙂
This was my first NARS blush! I really love it, though I find it funny that it’s compared with Orgasm, which is more peachy/coral on me, while Deep Throat is totally pink.
Do you happen to have pinker undertones? I have yellow undertones, and I feel like Orgasm looks so freakin’ pink on me compared to DT.
My first and favourite NARS blush! Looks beautiful on my NC15 skintone, and I’ve found it easier to blend than other NARS blushes (is it just me, or do they run kinda stiff?).
this is my favorite blush ever. It looks amazing and natural on my tan skin. I don t wear blush all the time but if I do, it s normally either this one or Sin.
I absolutely adore this blush.
Gorgeous blush, awful name. I’ll have to give it a look the next time I check out the NARS counter. 🙂
Lovely, but I can’t stand the tacky, distasteful names. Ugh. They make it seem like it’s porn.
@ValbonaPro I love the names 😀 it’s real life too, for some ^_^
@ValbonaPro There really are only a handful of items that have “tacky, distasteful names”. More than 99% of their 100+ items are named for geogrphic locales, exotic animals, or famous people (no, not connected to the porn industry). With that said, as an adult, I would rather go to a counter and ask for a product with a “dirty” name, than an item with a childish, immature pun like “I ‘Teal’ Terrific!”, but maybe that’s just me.
Yep. So agree with you.
I still remember this was my first NARA blush which you recommend to me , I already purchased Orgasm but was not very happy and asked you to suggest … as always you were spot on
“C” you are PERFECTTTTTTT as they say … so dedicated to blog which is your passion and your work .. i salute you for being so crisp in your reviews and giving your best each time …
I am soooooo in love with each stuff recommended by you and you know 3 days back I got my JW and I cant tell you how happpyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i am …..
i still request you if I get a signed one from you … am keeping my outer box with me and hope to get it signed with you some day 😀 😀 ….
@rashmidev I would definitely be happy to sign it for you someday! 🙂 Thank you for all of your support, Rashmi!!
One of my favourite
This was my first NARS blush!! I definitely remember seeing Orgasm and thinking “that is WAYY too much shimmer for me to have on my cheeks!!”. My only complaint about it is that it is very sheer, even on medium-fair, MUFE HD 115 skin like mine, but once it’s built up, it’s absolutely gorgeous!!! It’s awesome that you’re posting these blush swatches since I’m currently on the hunt for a different color, and I never buy without seeing a review on here!
@Lollybug I totally agree with you 🙂
Deep Throat is my first NARS blush too.
pretty 😀 I like its name, LOL :))
This may work well for me. I really like the base color, and the fact that it is sheer. It looks very natural, which is the first thing I look for in a blush. I’ll just have to check the “shimmer” levels in person.
I already own orgasm,i think il get deep throat now since my orgasm is almost over. wow dat sounds bad :/
Ugggh. Those names….Orgasm, Deep Throat…I’m no prude…but really…I have been buying dept. store makeup..since I was a young teen…..really inappropriate names….conjure up all those movies of the ’70s…some things are meant to be discreet….in other words, a renown brand name like Nars do not need to be identify with these words….even UD have racy names and dont have sexual connotations…..And I did buy NARS blushes many moons ago…Sin and Amour…..
@stacey Those are pretty much the only two “racy” names in the entire line. Besides, when I hear “Deep Throat”, the first thing that enters my mind is one of the key players in the Watergate scandal, and as far as I know (unless I missed something), there was nothing sexual involved with that. I also want to add that UD’s Jailbait is actually *more* disturbing, IMO.
It gets people talking, for better or worse, that’s why they have those names. Marketing strategy.
Deep Throat by NARS is my favorite blush from this brand. I find Orgasm to be too glittery and loud, unless I use it sparingly.
Do you think this would suit very pale skin tones?(: Like paler than a MAC NC15?(: LOVE this website so much! You do the best reviews! I’m addicted! Ahaha.
Love, Grace @ ThaliaChic.blogspot.com
@Gracey13 Yes, it would!
@Gracey13 I’m probably as pale as you are, and quite pink, and it’s my go-to blush. It’s so natural and pretty on fair skin!
@Bronwyn116 thank you!!(:
I love this shade on you. It’s pretty. I have tarte Glisten, so it’s good to know it’s similar. I do love the finish!
Looks like these are being done in Alphabetical Order. I’m looking forward to seeing Dolce Vita on my skin twin!
I really gotta try this!!
I have both Deep Throat and Orgasm. They are similar but I have gotten compliments from strangers when I wear Orgasm.
Ridiculous name, but it’s still my favorite blush ever. Looks so natural, and I like how it’s a happy medium between peach and pink.
Do you think this blush would complement a cooler skin tone? I’m NW20.
@linneacalhoun Yes!
Hi Christine, how does Deep Throat compare to Mac’s Dainty?
Dainty is lighter and pinker!
hi christine!
im really stuck right now, and thought to ask for ur help, should i get deep throat, orgasm or cactus flower blush for a ‘im not wearing make up’ make up look for school? i have yellow undertones, light-medium skin and my natural flush is kinda like mac’s desert rose when its blended out, do you find the shimmer in cactus flower too disco ball-y? and ALSO,(one last question-sorry!)how do the nars blush compacts compare to the nars eyeshadow duo compacts, are the blushe compacts smaller? thank you!
I’d vote Orgasm 🙂 The blush compacts and the eyeshadow duos are the same size I believe!
hi christine! i’m nw 35-40, would you recommend this blush for my skin tone? also, do you prefer mac, nars or tarte blushes?
I think Deep Throat would work! It’s a toss-up between Tarte and NARS!
Hi Christine – Could you please compare this to Tom Ford’s “love lust”. In your comparisons to that blush you cited all MAC blushes – and I’m interested how Deep Throat (and Orgasm) compares to “Love Lust”.
Also it’s strange: I can’t get orgasm to show up on my face. I apply and apply until my cheeks just look kind of chalky and dirty – but for some reason when I sampled deep throat in store it showed up on me, yet they look so close side by side!
Love Lust doesn’t compare favorably with this shade – it doesn’t have pink like Deep Throat!
nars deep throat, tarte blissful or mac peachykeen?
It just depends on what you’re looking for!
I feel like macs pinch o’ peach, or peachykeen remind me of matte versions of deep throat and orgasm blush from nars. I feel the shades are pretty similar.
I love this look on you, so gorgeous.
