NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush (02801 DOLCE VITA)

I was looking for a blush for my warm skin tones in spring, and after seeing it featured on Instagram and YouTube, I bought it! A little goes a long way, and even if you pat it on with your fingers, it doesn't smudge, which I love! It instantly brightens up your face!

I was looking for a bluish-pink liquid blush that I could use as a base for powder blush, and was torn between Dior's Rosy Glow Stick in 063, but after reading reviews, this one seemed more suitable for me, so I bought 02802. I've bought liquid blushes from other brands a few times before, but they always smudged, but this one is the first one I've been able to wear without smudges, which is great. I have naturally red cheeks, so when I use this color after covering up the redness with a primer, it gives my skin a natural glow that powder blush can't achieve, and it's the perfect color for cool undertones. As a blush lover, I find this color lacking on its own, so I like to use it as a base and then use cheek powder on top.

Very good

It's always sticky and doesn't fix! I wonder how everyone else uses it. Addiction is much easier to use. It's a shame because the color is nice. I won't give up, but I'll keep trying new things.

I self-diagnose my skin as cool winter, and foundations that suit me are one shade lighter than the standard shade. I was interested in 02800 BEHAVE (mauve pink), so I went to the counter for a touch-up, but I felt that the pink was a little too strong for me and looked childish. The beauty advisor recommended 02802 WANDERLUST (soft lilac), which gave me a sophisticated flush and I loved it, so I bought it. The beauty advisor said that my skin is on the blue side, and that a bluish pink would suit me. It's a color I could use both at work and at home. I'd been interested in this shade because my favorite idol (Wonhee of ILLIT) loves it, but in winter, when my skin gets rough, even a thin layer of powder can look powdery, so I was looking for a liquid blush, so this was perfect timing. I'm also interested in the other colors!
