There’s something about summer makeup that makes me want to reach for glowy skin, bronzed cheeks, and juicy lips—and the new NARS Hot Escape Summer 2025 Collection delivers exactly that. Featuring the Hot Escape Cheek Palette I and two new Afterglow Lip Oil shades, this limited-edition drop has quickly earned a top spot in my summer beauty lineup.
Hot Escape Cheek Palette I: Radiance in a Compact
This cheek palette is everything I want for the warmer months—lightweight, blendable powders that melt into the skin and give that effortless sun-kissed finish.
It comes with four stunning shades:
- Thrill: a matte, cool-toned light pink blush that adds a soft flush.
- Bad Behavior: a shimmering pastel pink that gives cheeks a radiant pop.
- Ophelia: a luminous pink-toned highlighter that catches the light perfectly.
- Laguna 01: the classic NARS light bronze with neutral undertones—ideal for subtle sculpting or warming up the complexion.
The texture is silky and buildable, so you can go from barely-there to bold with ease. I’ve been using it daily, whether I’m going for a natural daytime look or layering it on for a golden hour glow.
Afterglow Lip Oil: Laguna & Wondrous
NARS also added two dreamy shades to their cult-favourite Afterglow Lip Oil lineup. These are a hydrating, non-sticky alternative to traditional glosses, and I’m obsessed.
- Laguna is a bronze shimmer that enhances your natural lip colour while giving that glossy, just-back-from-the-beach vibe.
- Wondrous is a sheer raspberry that brightens the face in the most subtle, juicy way.
They’re perfect on their own or layered over your favourite lip liner. Bonus: they leave your lips feeling nourished, not sticky.
Final Thoughts
The NARS Hot Escape Collection is everything summer makeup should be—fun, radiant, and easy to use. The cheek palette has all your go-to shades in one sleek compact, and the lip oils bring the perfect glossy finish. Whether you’re heading to the beach or brunch, this collection has you covered for a fresh, glowing look that’s effortless to achieve. I love using these products on my natural skin and they look so natural!
