I really loved this. Its a very bright looking pinky color in the container and if you use your fingers to apply, it can be very bright looking. I use a skunk brush to apply so that it doesn't look heavy. It's the only blush that I've found that last all day and looks really natural. I love to use it as a base as well. I'll apply a little and then put on a regular blush and it gives it a bit more oomph and allows my powder blush to last longer. For reference, I have really oily skin. I got lucky and got it on sale at TJ Maxx for 2.99.
Pros:Last all day, can be very sheer, very natural looking Cons:Pot is a bit small for fingers, can be too bright if applied to heavily, kind pricey
I really didn't like this product. It looks muddy on my light/medium, warm toned skin. The swatch online was much lighter than how this looked in person. The packaging is OK. It's like a stick of deodorant. I didn't like the texture of the product. It's not very smooth, and it gripped my skin. I thought it was a pain to try and blend. The pigmentation is decent. I didn't notice any odd or strong perfume smells to it. I really didn't feel like this was worth the money, and I would not repurchase this.
Pros:No bad smells Cons:Doesn't blend well, color looks muddy
This is from the Sonic Chic collection. It is a nice, subtle pink. I have light to medium warm toned skin, and I find this gives my cheeks a natural look. It gives a nice glow without being glittery. I don't find this blush to be all that pigmented. It doesn't last me all day, so I find mid-day I have to touch up my blush. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind using it with a base or something to ensure it lasts all day, but if you planned on using this alone then maybe this isn't the blush for you. I would not repurchase, simply because I felt this blush didn't live up to my expectations. I would prefer it be more pigmented, and last longer. This blush is pretty, but it's mediocre performance keeps me from truly loving this blush.
Pros:Natural pink, nice glow, blends nicely Cons:Not very pigmented, doesn't last all day
This is a very pretty blush. It's a very natural, glowy pink. It's nicely pigmented, and the glow doesn't look glittery. It blends smoothly. It does not come with a brush. It doesn't have a perfume smell, or any odd smells to it. The color lasts me all day. I would definitely repurchase this blush.
Pros:Nicely pigmented, beautiful pink, nice glow, blends easily Cons:no brush(not really a con for me)
Talk about a pigmented blush! A little goes a long way, so apply lightly and then build on the color if you need to. It's definitely more of a peachy blush(despite it looking quite orange in the package). It does not come packaged with a brush, so you will need your own blush brush. It lasts all day without fading. It has a bit of glow, but doesn't look glittery on me. It doesn't have a perfume smell, or much of a smell at all for that matter. Definitely would repurchase this.
Pros:Very pigmented, nice glow, lasts all day Cons:Not widely available
I was really excited to try this blush, since I really like Stila's shadows. It's a bright pinky peach color. I would almost describe it as coral. It's matte. I was very disappointed in this blush. It's not very pigmented. I have to keep applying to get it to show up on me, and I am not very dark. I am glad I bought this on Beauty Crunch and didn't pay full price for it. So not worth the money.
I love this blush. It contains no shimmer at all and is very matte. i think this is a wonderful product and it looks really good on my skin and gives me a healthy looking glow!
Sunbasque is a shimmery peachy bronze. It's one of my staples during the summer. I find it pretty pigmented so I use my Flirt! Feather Dust-her brush to apply it when I'm less tanned to warm up my complexion. The shimmer isn't garish, it gives a nice glow. I'd definitely repurchase.
Pros:Beautiful natural color when I'm tanned/warms up my paler winter complexion. Cons:
Pink Swoon is a very soft matte pink. It gives a beautiful pink flush, and I love how this looks with a smoky eye. I never have to worry about over applying when it comes to this one.
This has become my HG blush! I have light to medium, yellow under toned skin and this blush looks so pretty and natural on me! I use it all the time. It's matte, but when I want to I add shimmer or highlight to give it some added glow. It is nicely pigmented. I don't have to use a lot to get the desired look. It goes on smoothly, and it blends really nice too. It doesn't have any odd smell, and doesn't smell of perfume. I do not like the latch on it. I find that I keep accidently opening the bottom where the brush is held instead of the top where the blush pan is. I have not used the brush that comes with it, so I can't comment on the brush quality. The color lasts me all day. I have been using this all the time and haven't gotten any breakouts from it. I definitely recommend this blush.
Pros:Good pigmentation, smooth and blendable, lasts all day, nice peachy color, widely available, hasn't caused breakouts, really affordable if you get it on a buy one get one free sale Cons:Not a one!
Pink Star is my HG true bright pink blush. A makeup artist used it on me during a makeover and I was immediatly sold. I love everything about this blush. I find it pigmented. Easily shows up on my fair skin. And it lasts as long as my MAC blushes. Rarely needs a touch up. It has some silver glitter in it..but not obnoxious chunks. Very smooth and silky and this light glitter helps to give a glow. Its very easy to blend on my cheeks and just looks stunning on. Its my perfect pink. I reach for this blush the most and will need to buy a second soon. Im running out! It also works as a highlighter when I use a dark pink or reddish blush! I put this along the top of the darker color...blend...and instantly have the most beautiful cheeks ever. Oh one point...the little brush it comes with is useless for applying it really. So you'll need a decent blush brush to use this product!
Pros:Pigmented, soft & silky, glowy, long lasting, nice packaging, perfect true pink Cons:A little expensive, some may not like the little bit of glitter but its not bad, need a good blush brush for it
My Hg peach blush. one pan of this stuff last years. Comes in a nice compact with great brush and mirror. It has good staying power and I think it sucks up oil quite well. It's not too shimmery, but just right. Feel free to spend the 11 bucks, cause it will last forever.
Pros:Cute, long lasting, sucks up oil, not to shimmery Cons:none
NARS blush in "Oasis" came out a couple years ago. When I first saw it on the Sephora website, I fell in love; I knew I HAD to have this!
I was not dissapointed. This is a wonderful product. The color is hard to describe. It's not really a peach, or a pink. Nor is it a coral..but it definetly does have pink and peach tones..It is darker than "Orgasm". I really can't do the color justice, but I will say it's gorgeous..I would say this color is fit for most if not all skintones. For reference, I am an NW20 in MAC foundations. I have a lot of pink tones to my skin. Some products with pink in them can really make people with pink tones look TOO pink..but not "Oasis"..It gives me a very healthy flush.
"Oasis" also has some shimmer/glitter in it. Now, I personally happen to LOVE shimmer and glitter..For those that don't, maybe this isn't the product for you. NARS has some nice Matte blushes. However, I will say that the glitter isn't chunky or over-the-top..it's just enough to be noticeable and add something extra.
I like to wear "Oasis" with a smokey eye..but really it's great to pair with anything. In the summer, autumn and winter, this blush looks equally wonderful.
I really like NARS packaging..it is sleek and elegant, and has a handy mirror that's actually big enough to see what you're doing (unlike some other products with mirrors that are worthless), so it's really good to take with you in your purse or makeup bag.
I would reccomend this product to anyone; but I will say you will need to at least be able to tolerate shimmer and glitter. I hear everyone saying "Orgasm" is the NARS must-have blush...I would go one step further and say "Oasis" needs to be a must-have as well!!!
Pros:Beautiful color, nice, subtle glittery look, very versatile. Cons:If you DON'T like glitter, this probably isn't for you.
This mineral blush is gorgeous. It's a little shimmery but not glittery. I always stayed away from pink because of the gold in my skintone but the people at Merle Norman know their stuff. This is a warm coppery rose color that just livens me up wonderfully. This blush is highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. I'm half way through the container at it's been about 6 months. Make sure you have a mineral blush brush to apply it or it will apply too heavy.
This is from MAC Sonic Chic collection. Ok first things first! I love it! LOVE IT. This is a great blush. Honestly there's not one thing to complain about. Its a very highly pigmented smooth as silk mineralized blush, it leaves a beautiful glow, it looks amazing on, and it has great staying power (10 hours before I had to touch up). The color I got is like a dusty healthy glowing pink, it looks like it was made for my cheeks. I also loved the colors Pleasantry and Love Thing, but I already have 2 blushes that are those colors, and the price on these was a little steep for me, almost $30 per. Im glad I picked up one though. I love how you can wear it sheer, or build up the layers for more intense color. Just be easy on the application, this blush is so pigmented. I wish I had the money to get more... I love these.
Pros:Pigmented, silky, long lasting, unique, glowy, sexy Cons:Price
I love this tint. Leaves a dewy blush that looks like is coming from within - not just sitting on your face. But the packaging sucks. The twisty top dispense totally broke off mine!! I'm so peeved! Ugh.
A nice blush! The colour works very nicely with pale skin although if used too heavily you can look like a cross between Coco the clown and a spooky pot doll!
I love the little pot and the little brush that comes with it. Very handy and a great idea. I prefer the packaging a lot more compared to my other blushers. Nice texture, just the right amout of shimmer and stays on very well!
I will definatley be buying this blush again! The only reason I've given it 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because I really don't like the smell. I think it's just a personal preferance because my friend said she doesn't mind the smell however I found it quite weird that the blush was scented and the smell really didn't do it for me. It's a sweet kind of vanilla smell which I can see some people liking but not me. But I won't let it put me off this blush! I'll just have to get used to it!
Pros:Great color, shimmer, handy packaging, has its own brush, stays on all day, lovely texture. Cons:Sweet smell.
Lovely blush. Great colour and texture and stays put all day. Easy to apply and doean't look too cakey. I though it looked really nice with my pale skin tone. I didn't like the packaging though. I would have prefered it if it was in a pot or a small case but I wasn't a fan of the slidy container with tiny mirror it came in. Over-all a nice blush! I would really like to try new colours in this blush because it's great.
