Unsung Makeup Heroes: NARS Deep Throat Blush

What’s an unsung makeup hero? For me, it’s an oftentimes underrated makeup morsel, a permanent collection product that scoots under the radar screen of many makeup lovers but regularly rocks my world. The long-running Unsung Heroes series features some of my favorites.

I realize that NARS Orgasm is widely believed to be the true tour de force of the NARS blush multiverse, and for sure, I totally get why so many people love it…but NARS Deep Throat to me is a far better peachy pink option. Hands down.

Like Orgasm, it looks incredible on a wiiiide range of skin tones, but it lacks Orgasm’s intensely golden pearl, which in this case is a good thing, particularly if you have pores — like I do.

I actually like that I can’t see Deep Throat’s golden shimmer unless I’m way up in a magnifying mirror. Most of the time, all you see is the lovely color.

Effect-wise, it’s just enough. It doesn’t go overboard. Plus, it’s easy to apply, looks just as natural on bare skin as it looks on top of full-coverage foundation, and you can dress it up or dress it down.

I think it’s an ideal summer blush, and P.S., if you love MAC Springsheen, I think you’ll love this, too.
