Calling all beauty lovers; NARS has finally dropped one of the most sought-after makeup products of the summer - and we put it to the test to see if it's worth the hype.

A new icon within the brand's much-loved collection comes a new blusher; the Insatiable Liquid Blush - and it's set to rival the cult Orgasm Powder Blush tenfold. 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?

The new NARS Liquid Blush allows you to customize color with an oversized doe-foot from a natural gradient of radiance to a bold flush

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 Insatiable 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. 

What did commerce writer, Lydia think of the new NARS Insatiable Liquid Blush?

Subtle, striking and undeniably sexy, I never doubted the new NARS Insatiable 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,

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.

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 Insatiable Liquid Blush is 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. 

For radiance that's more than skin-deep, the skincare-packed formula also features peptides and ceramides to help soften and hydrate the skin

For radiance that's more than skin-deep, the skincare-packed formula also features peptides and ceramides to help soften and hydrate the skin, strengthening the skin barrier and leaving the skin looking supple and fuller.

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 - whether you're applying straight to the face or onto the back of your hand first.

Better still, consumer studies of the new NARS blush have been glowing, with 100 per cent agreeing it blended effortlessly over makeup, delivered a weightless payoff and created a soft-focus effect on the skin.

And while the blush is still hot off the press, glowing reviews have already started flooding in from beauty buffs who call it the 'most gorgeous blush', raving of the 'longwearing and blendable' formula.

'The easiest blendable and buildable liquid blush I’ve ever used, never mind the colour pay off!' Raved one impressed reviewer. 

'I layered three layers to see how it sat on the skin and my foundation, and it was stunning! the most natural healthy glow, but you can create such a pop of colour. It glides on the skin, but is so light to wear. Absolute must for any makeup kit!!'

Another added: 'I am absolutely in love with this Insatiable Liquid Blush! The pigment is beautiful and buildable, and it blends seamlessly into the skin for a natural, healthy glow. It lasts all day without fading. Highly recommend!'.
