NARS' new cream eyeshadow 'doesn't budge' on oily eyelids
The Total Seduction Eyeshadow Stick is available in 16 shades and is already a hit with beauty fans
Adored makeup brand NARS has launched its brand-new summer makeup range. The Hot Escape Collection includes a range of new-season essentials that are available to shop now on the NARS website and nationwide.
The collection features the Afterglow Lip Oil, Hot Escape Cheek Palettes, and a brand-new £28 eyeshadow stick that's already been dubbed the 'eyeshadow of dreams'. The Total Seduction Eyeshadow is a creamy matte-and-shimmer hybrid that beauty enthusiasts are calling 'the best product I've found.'
Available in 16 shades, the formula promises an all-day, crease-resistant finish - even in the summer heat and humidity. One reviewer praised it for not budging even on oily eyelids, and in clinical trials, the colour stayed put for up to 16 hours, making it perfect for long beach days and hot city nights.
As reported by OK!, when customers purchase two or more products from the Hot Escape collection, they will receive a free golden pouch at checkout when they enter the code GOLDEN. NARS isn't the only beauty brand making waves with fresh summer offerings at the moment.
Kayali fans will be thrilled to learn that full-size versions of the much-talked-about 'Vacay in a Bottle' collection are now available, arriving just in time for the warmer months. After an initial launch as a discovery set, the four 50ml bottles can now be snapped up for £79 apiece from top retailers, including Cult Beauty.

In addition, the OK! Beauty Box has unveiled a special edition Summer Beauty Box as a one-off purchase crammed with 12 dreamy products. Among the eight full-sized items are Trinny London's Golden Glow Bronzer and Hello Sunday's The Take-Out One Invisible Sun Stick.
Nearly 200 NARS fans have shared their thoughts on the Total Seduction Eyeshadow. One buyer wrote: "I love these. Even with my oily eyelids, they don't budge, and the colours are stunning. I use these in lieu of an eyeliner pencil, and they work so well. I'm really pleased with my eyeshadow sticks. I would definitely repurchase."
Another customer labelled it the 'eyeshadow of dreams' and commented: "I love this eyeshadow stick. I was amazed at how easy it was to apply and how nice it looked after application. I love the colour as you could use it on its own or apply another eyeshadow. There is no fallout from it, and you can apply it according to your preference."
Some people are unfortunately less impressed, with one saying: "It doesn't blend that easily, and the colour lacks depth. You have to apply a couple of times for any colour. After a couple of hours, it went patchy even after primer."
In contrast, another happy customer left a glowing review for the Total Seduction Eyeshadow: "Very blendable, super pigmented, the texture is sublime, so smooth just easily glides on the lid, and it doesn't move once set. I've got very sensitive eyes and didn't get a reaction. It's also easy to remove with makeup remover. I'm hooked."
"Another great product from NARS," someone else added. "Perfect eyeshadow stick, extremely easy to use, has great pigment, blends super easily, and helps create gorgeous eye looks in seconds. One of my go-tos, especially to travel with. I always throw it in my makeup bag for evening looks."
