A dewy, flushed complexion is everything when it comes to a summer makeup routine. That’s why our editors were so excited when NYX Professional Makeup dropped the Bare With Me Luminous Cheek Serum — a liquid blush formula that gives you a radiant, luminous and pigmented finish. The cheek serum is also infused with tremella mushroom and jojoba seed oil for extra hydration. Ahead, five editors put the formula to the test to see if it’s a worthy addition to their hot vax summer routines.Alanna, Assistant Manager EditorShade: Sienna BronzeI’m a massive fan of liquid blushes, so it was a no-brainer to start incorporating this formula into my routine. When I first tried it, I was immediately enamored by how pigmented and lightweight it felt on the back of my hand. I swirled the serum around a few times with my fingers and tapped it onto my cheekbones and down my nose for a flushed finish. Not only did it instantly brighten my whole face, it made me look immediately sun-kissed. Ari, Associate EditorShade: Sienna BronzeWhen I first saw this terracotta shade, I thought there was no way it would be light enough to flatter my skin tone. But once I dotted it on my cheekbones, I was pleasantly surprised. The formula is so sheer, it gave me a peachy, sun-kissed glow. I find that it’s important to wait until my foundation is fully dry before applying this blush, otherwise it can go a little patchy and move the product underneath.
