In my twenties I swore by powder makeup products to keep my oily skin from becoming too shiny.
I’d dust on setting powders, powder bronzer, powder highlighter and powder blush but, since hitting 30, I can see a notable change to the texture of my skin.
It’s a lot drier now and with fine lines starting to form, my powder-based makeup routine was no longer working for me. So, I paid a visit to the NARS counter in my local John Lewis to test out alternatives.
What I didn’t realise was how swapping one product, my old powder blush for NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush, would change the look of my skin completely.
NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush
A glowy, skin enhancing blush that gives dry skin its luminosity back, the Nars Afterglow Liquid Blush is a bestseller for a reason. It’s hydrating and light, not greasy, and is available in 9 different shades to suit a range of skin tones.

Although powder blush is a makeup bag staple for many, I found the NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush far more glowy – the exact finish I’d been wanting. Blended out, it leaves a subtle sheen on the skin and looks far more natural than a dusty powder.
It also seemed to blend better with my foundation and as someone who always wants to look natural, rather than looking like I’m wearing a tonne of product, this really achieves that. You can really control how much you put on and have it melt into your base, rather than sitting on top.
With its luxury packaging that resembles a high-end lipgloss, the NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush also looks chic on your dressing table and the range of flattering shades really suit all skin tones.
If I had to pick a favourite huge? It’s a hard decision but it has to be Orgasm. This peachy-pink shade has micro flecks of golden shimmer to further enhance your glow and catched the light nicely. But, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase the entire range!
