![]() ![]() ![]() I love this applicator because it allows me to dot the formula exactly where I want it on my cheeks, without having to stick my finger in a pot (I have long nails, and products like this are impossible to use) or pump anything out, which usually means I end up with way more product than I need. Nars’ Afterglow Liquid Blush comes in a compact little rectangular package - about the size of two lipsticks - and dispenses via a fat, fluffy doe-foot applicator. Wearing Nars Afterglow Liquid Blush in Wanderlust Faith Xue The Packaging Wanderlust is the star of the show, however - a soft lilac shade, it’s flattering on every skin tone and melts in to give the prettiest flush of color. I love the classic shade Orgasm, which is a light pink with subtle golden shimmer, but Dolce Vita is slightly deeper and works perfectly with my currently tanned skin. It’s made with hyaluronic acid, vegan collagen, and vitamin E, so it really feels more like skin care than makeup, and a few dabs is all I need to make my cheeks look ever-so-slightly flushed and dewy. The Afterglow Liquid Blush is the perfect product to help me achieve that look because the lightweight formula lends itself to a super-natural finish and buildable color payoff. The FormulaĪs I mentioned, I’m trying to look relaxed and rested, honey, in a rich aunt sort of way - softly sun-kissed, like I’ve just gotten back from my second home in St Tropez before another quick jaunt to my third home in Capri. Because this blush formula is so serum-like, it sinks into the skin instead of sitting on top, which means you get a glazed donut-like finish without any fear of transfer. This means that even though I’m drawn towards cream and liquid products (I like a dewy finish), they usually tend to slip and slide throughout the day, leaving my skin looking like a melted wax figure by sundown. My skin is naturally oily, especially around my T-zone.

This liquid blush is also a highlighter, a tint, and skin-hydrator in one, and if I were Shakespeare, I would write a sonnet comparing its beauty to a summer’s day. ![]() To call this product a blush like calling the Sistene Chapel a church - grossly oversimplified and honestly, slightly insulting. My current obsession for conveying that I recently had my OOO auto-reply on is a magical hybrid product from Nars: the Afterglow Liquid Blush. (Trust me, this method is much more satisfying than going on and on about how magical Puglia is to everyone in near vicinity - even though, well, it really is.) Now, my utmost goal is to maintain my post-getaway radiance for as long as possible, so that people can’t help but remark on how well-rested I look - thus, ensuring everyone knows I just got back from vacation without requiring me to say it out loud. I spent a week on the country’s southern coast and I have the flushed, glowing complexion to prove it. Yes, I am one of those obnoxious people who just got back from vacation - in Italy, no less. ![]() This week, BDG’s executive beauty director Faith Xue is testing Nars’ Afterglow Liquid Blush.
