NARS has the best quality blushes IMO. They are nicely pigmented with a smooth texture and evenly deposit color on the cheeks. I have quite a few NARS blushes, and Desire is my newest. This is a gorgeous sheer pink that I will frequently use in spring and summer. However, the color is such a bright pink in the compact that it might scare off some people (I thought it look pretty frightening myself until I tested it), but the color is a lot softer on the skin. I give this product a 5 for quality, but an overall 4 because of the price. Even though NARS blushes are worth every penny of the $20 price tag, they are expensive.
