Okay, let me just start by saying... I've finally found THE blush. After years of trying everything from drugstore to high-end, NARS Deep Throat is the one that stole my heart (and my cheeks' affection).

The color is this perfect peachy-pink with the subtlest gold shimmer - not glittery at all, just gives this lit-from-within glow. I'm fair with neutral undertones and it blends like a dream.

What shocked me most? The staying power. I apply it at 7 AM before work and when I'm wiping off my makeup at night... it's still there looking fresh! No midday touch-ups needed.

Pro tip: Use a fluffy brush and build slowly. The pigment is intense (in a good way) so a little goes a long way. I've had mine for 6 months and barely made a dent.

The only con? The compact is smaller than I expected (about the size of a silver dollar), but considering how pigmented it is, this will last me years. Worth every penny!
