Calling all beauty lovers; you're going to want to set your alarms for June 3 as NARS are about to drop one of the most sought-after makeup products of the summer. 

Joining iconic products like the bestselling Radiant Creamy Concealer and Laguna Bronzer comes a new blusher; the Liquid Blush. And it's set to rival the cult Orgasm Powder Blush. Delivering a weightless surge of saturated color, the lightweight liquid promises to effortlessly blend into the skin for true-color payoff with a 16-hour fade-proof wear. But did it live up to its claims?

NARS are having a big moment with not one but two new launches in the last month. First came the new Natural Matte Longwear Foundation and now the hotly anticipated Liquid Blush. 

NARS has been making beauty lovers blush for years with its phenomenally popular and cheekily named Orgasm Powder Blush and now the Liquid Blush has arrived as another way to get a flush.

The new blusher has been designed to give you a wash of colour on the cheeks without the weight that a powder blusher can have. Pigment-packed, the new Liquid Blush delivers a weightless surge of saturated color for a fresh and healthy glow. 

A blushed cheek is an easy makeup hack for helping you look instantly healthier. Perking up the skin, it adds a youthful flush that leaves you looking more awake and perky even without concealer. 

For those that find their blusher wears off throughout the day, the new NARS Liquid Blush are sure to appeal. 

Lighter in weight and texture than a traditional powder blush, the new formula is highly pigmented for true-color payoff but with a clever second-skin finish for an up to 16-hour fade-proof wear. 

The new liquid blusher is also a brilliant way of controlling the colour on your cheeks too. Thanks to the oversized doe-foot, you can get precise application. But what did we think?

A good blusher has the ability to completely lift the complexion and that's what the new NARS Liquid Blush does. 

On first application I used two dabs on each cheek and was blown away by how pigmented the formula was. Following that I've been using just one dab on each cheek and found it blended in more seamlessly to give a beautifully flushed look.

It really does have a second-skin finish which sits beautifully on the skin without settling in to fine lines in ways powder blush can. 

On a whole I was hugely impressed, particularly by the payoff - less is more - but the colours in the line up are gorgeous and a worthy addition to your makeup bag.

I love blush - and boy does this one pack a punch! The formula is incredibly creamy, and extremely blendable, making it easy to blend out to a lovely colour. 

I usually stick to more subtle blush shade, but when I saw this gorgeous orange one, I was instantly hooked (and knew it would be amazing in the summer with a tan!). 

The one thing to note with each of these liquid blushes is that a little goes a LONG way - I really cannot emphasize that enough, so start out with a tiny dot on each cheek and then layer as your heart desires. 

It also didn't picture as bright as it looked in real life (but not remotely a dealbreaker for me), but I really enjoy this blush, and it's definitely earnt its spot in my summer rotation.

Subtle, striking and undeniably sexy, I never doubted the new NARS Liquid Blush in Orgasm would become a favourite in my kit; it's truly unlike any liquid blush I’ve used before.

The blush boasts a pinky coral hue with microfine gold glitter that sits subtly on the skin rather than leaving behind chunky flakes.

The flush on the cheeks leaves a lit-from-within luminosity, smoothing over my skin and leaving my cheeks looking just-pinched and glowing.

I had a little bit of trouble blending it out – perhaps because of the sparkle. In some places I found it to apply slightly patchy, but after a little bit of blending I managed to achieve the perfect smooth finish.

It’s definitely the perfect spring and summer shade and I’ll be grabbing it again and again through this season either with makeup or alone for a gorgeous no-makeup flush.
