Hot Escape Cheek Palette

NARS Hot Escape Cheek Palette is a limited-edition quad built around the South of France: blush in matte and shimmer, the brand's Laguna bronzing powder, and a highlighter. One compact covers the whole cheek — warmth, colour and shine — which makes it a sensible travel case as much as a palette.

What it actually does

• Gives you two blush finishes. Matte and shimmer versions of the reimagined NARS blush — the silky, blendable formula the brand rates for true colour payoff and up to 16 hours of wear.
• Brings Laguna along. NARS describes the Laguna powder as finely milled and talc-free, blending seamlessly for warmth that lasts.
• Adds a lit-from-within shine. The highlighter is there to catch light, which the brand likens to a glistening, sunlit effect.
• Replaces three compacts. Everything the cheek needs sits in one case, which is the practical argument for buying a quad over separates.
• Clean of a long list of ingredients. NARS states it's free of parabens, formaldehydes and formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, SLS and SLES sulfates, triclocarban and triclosan, with under one percent synthetic fragrance.

How to use

1. Bronzer first. Swirl it in beneath the cheekbone and blend it upwards so the dimension looks soft rather than striped.
2. Blush on the cheekbone. Sweep it on, then diffuse the edge into the bronzer so the two meet without a line.
3. Shimmer blush on the high points. Layer it across the top of the cheek for depth.
4. Highlighter last. Layer it where you want light, and take a sweep beneath the brow bone.

Questions

Is the bronzer the same as the standalone Laguna?

NARS identifies the bronzer in this palette as Laguna Bronzing Powder, the finely milled, talc-free formula. The difference here is pan size and the limited packaging, not a different product name.

Can I use the shimmer blush as a highlighter?

You can layer it on the high points of the cheek, which is exactly what the brand's own steps suggest. The dedicated highlighter is the more reflective of the two, so use it when you want obvious shine.

Will it work on deeper skin tones?

It's a fixed set of shades rather than a shade-matched range, so it depends on your depth and undertone. Message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we'll talk it through — we can't accept a return for a shade that didn't suit.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Limited-edition items sometimes sit at the longer end of that window. Working days exclude weekends and official holidays.

Payment and returns?

We take credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets; there's no cash on delivery. Returns apply to defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery — if a pan arrives shattered, photograph it before doing anything else. Approved refunds go to your original payment method within 15 to 30 days.
