I have been a huge fan of Nars makeup ever since Francois Nars developed this line about 8 years ago. I have used his "The Multiple" sticks from day one and have never been disappointed. All of the shades are absolutely gorgeous, work wonderfully on ever skin color/tone, and one stick will last forever without turning bad in color, texture, or scent. My first stick of Cannes lasted almost two full years.

I am very fair. If you are as well, I have found the following colors to work best: Cannes, Portofino, Maui, Mustique, Maldives, and Copacabana. Portofino is my personal favorite. The perfect blend of pink, mauve, and gold. A definite instant complexion booster. Intense pigment, but beautifully sheer in small doses, so you won't end up looking like Bozo the Clown. Great for cheeks, eyes, lips...everywhere!

My only complaint when it comes to Nars products pertains to the packaging. His packaging is gorgeous. Black, with an unusual sueded finish. You'll just love handling his compacts. The plastic he uses, though, seems to be very brittle and prone to chipping, splintering, and breaking. The gorgeous sueded black finish only seems to last a couple of months before that bubbles up and peels off. Goes from glamorous and gorgeous to skanky looking really fast.

I'm a huge fan of Nars the Multiple sticks but there was never a color that was a nice pink.Until now!Riviera is a beautiful,very sheer cool rose pink that makes you look like you were just out in the cold or got a little sun.It's seasonless and because it contains shimmer it's a perfect for highlighting your cheekbones.You can also use it in eyes or lips.This is an indispensable item for me,one that I use everyday and couldn't live without.So,if your looking for a great pink blush or highlighter that isn't the least bit bubblegum,this is your dream come true.

I used the powder version of this colour and found it absolutely perfect for a very pale skin like mine but ... the multiple is even better! It blends into the skin perfectly and leaves a healthy glow, without being too obvious. So, if you are looking for a natural result and have a fair skin, this is the perfect product. I prefer the multiple to the powder version: easy to carry around (it does not require a brush) and it can be used on the lips with a little bit of clear gloss. An absolute hit that will became a staple in my make-up bag.

I love this product because it blends so easily and it is a very flirty shade. Yes, it's really expensive, but it will last forever. It doesn't work that well as an eye color, but I do occasionally wear it as a lip color, but since the consistency is kind of dry, I usually wear a moisturizing lip balm under it. As the other reviewers have said, it will give you a glow. There are little specks of shimmer in it, but not like glitter at all. It's easy to apply and easy to carry around with you. I also have the multiple in Copacabana which I use as a highlighter on my brow line, down my nose, and sometimes underneath orgasm, and also in South Beach, which is a great bronzer. It looks great on your cheeks and lips over lip balm in the summer. It also works pretty well as an eye color. They're all very easy to blend but not really creamy, more dry than anything. I would really recommend walking into a Sephora and swatching these on your arms because they are really expensive and the swatches online don't always match up. Plus, it's always best to see it on your own skin tone, especially if you're paying a pretty penny.

I don't usually wear makeup, especially since I have a baby at home who takes up most of my time. When I read about The Multiple I liked the idea, but wasn't sure if I could manage the application. Since I don't usually wear any makeup, I didn't know if I could apply it without it looking overly made up. I needn't have worried; this is the best makeup I've ever seen. Application is a breeze and it looks great. The Malibu is a perfect raisin color (slightly brown, slightly pink), so it looks great with any color. I would highly recommend The Multiple.

Generally, I prefer cream blush over powder blush or bronzer because I think it lasts longer. For some reason, though, there aren't many decent cream blush products on the market. The best product I've ever found is the Too Faced Flushed Blush stick, which unfortunately was discontinued and is becoming hard to find.

In search of a substitute, I ventured into Sephora, where a sales associate recommended the Nars Multiple. I selected the Multiple in Maui, and although I'm pretty happy with it, I still prefer the Too Faced product. For one thing, although the Multiple can be used on eyelids, lips, and cheeks, I'm really only interested in it as a blush. I also prefer matte makeup, and the Maui Multiple is a bit too shimmery for my taste, even though the sales associate I spoke with said it was one of the less-shimmery shades. The product does glide on super smoothly and blends easily, but I don't think the color lasts as long as the Too Faced Flushed Blush stick. The Multiple is expensive, but I've had mine for a while now, and it this rate, it will probably last me the next 50 years, which justifies the high price.

I may try the Multiple in another shade and hope for the best, but in the meantime, I'm still going to keep searching for a better cream blush product.

I am telling you, this is my absolute FAVORITE makeup product. I don't use it everyday but just when I am going out on the town. I am fair skinned so I'm not sure how the copacabana color looks on darker skinned people but It looks spectacular on me! I've gotten many compliments and comments when I wear it. I use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones, corner of the eyes, and brow bones. It just gives you a classic looking shimmer. It really helps to make your cheekbones stand out when used in combination with blush (I use nars zen for a bronzed natural look). Anyway, I LOVE it and highly, HIGHLY recommend it!

I bought Maui and Malibu and for months couldn't bring myself to use them because I never used cream blush before and was so scared about the application. Also my cheeks weren't as clear as I thought skin needed to be to use these "natural flush" products. I eventually summoned the courage and couldn't believe how blendable and easy the Multiple was to use! Maui gives the most REALISTIC natural flush for daytime (I'm fair skinned with yellow undertones)and I'm going to try some of the shimmer ones for evening. Best of all, you can still use spot concealer over it without your blush disappearing!

I bought "Coppcabana" (it doesn't have a color, but more of a sheer shine) and love the way it feels. It's like silk on your skin.

I use it down the center of my nose, across both cheeks, and on the brow bones and it really does help all your features look symmetrical. And it will last you for a very long time!

I was looking to replace the only stick blush I used to the very end.It was Prescriptives Women Mystic stick. It came in only 1 color a sort of pink coral. A beautiful shade on any skin tone. Well they stopped making it so the hunt began to find a replacement. I came across this stick read the reviews and from the color chart 'Riviera' looked very close to the shade. Well it came the very next day so great shipping from Sephora and I loved the stick. The color was even better than the Mystic Stick and it went on much smoother. Will now go on to buy the Portifino. Also it is a large stick, so it well worth the price.
