Afterglow Liquid Blush
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush is a highly pigmented, thin serum formula that dries down to a beautiful, long-wearing finish. Professional makeup artist Risa Does Makeup notes it lasts longer than most liquid blushes and doesn't emphasize pores or fine lines, while Kackie Reviews Beauty finds some shades like All Access too dark or disappearing on the skin. The formula contains peptides and ceramides for hydration, and shades like Dolce Vita are praised as ideal.
