Afterglow
NARS Afterglow Cheek Palette ($59.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a new, limited edition six-pan cheek palette that included three matte blushes, two shimmery blushes, and one highlighter. They were semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, fairly blendable, and longer-wearing, though they were a thinner, somewhat drier formula overall.

Breathless
Breathless is a light-medium peach with warmer, more orange undertones and a metallic sheen. The powder was finely-milled, smooth, and blendable on bare skin, while yielding mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation in one layer. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$30.00/0.16 oz. - $187.50 Per Ounce
From NARS’ website, their blush formula is described as “beautifully pigmented” and “soft [and] blendable.” NARS' blushes, since they've been released in such a massive range of shades over the years, can vary from shade to shade to some degree. Most shades are pigmented with firmer, slightly stiffer consistencies that can also run on the thinner side, which allows greater control when picking up product but some of the more matte shades could be a bit more blendable or easier to work with.
Some of the more newly-released shades have softer, more yielding textures that are a bit creamier and are easier to blend out, though most of NARS' blushes are fairly blendable. The wear typically ranges from eight to nine hours with a few shades falling above or below this range.

Exhibit A
Exhibit A is a vivid, deep orange-red with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a slightly thinner, drier texture, though it had full color coverage in one layer–a little went a long way. The product could have been slightly more blendable in practice. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Liberte (2022)
Liberte (2022) is a muted, medium-dark coral-orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The blush had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a soft, lightly powdery texture that darkened and warmed up on my skin tone (looked pinker in the pan). This shade showed signs of fading after eight hours of wear.

Liberte (2022)
LELimited Edition. $30.00.
Flirt
Flirt is a medium-dark plum with warmer undertones and cooler, fine lavender pearl. It had rich pigmentation that applied well to bare skin and diffused easily along the edges. The texture was thin, more emollient to the touch, and needed to be used with a denser brush to pick up product evenly. It lasted well for eight hours on me.
