I brought this because it was on sale and thought "why not". I've always used Clinique blush and adore it so much, I was hesitant to try this one out. I can't say I was surprised by the quality of this product as I have other Maybelline cosmetics that I love, but I didn't expect it to be this good. It is very highly pigmented, I love dark rosey cheeks and usually it takes a few layers of my Clinique blush to build it to the colour I desire, but with this it is instantly bright. I love how smooth the powder is and how silky it feels on my skin. This blush is definitely a new fave.
Not pigmented enough and ashy
I don't know what Maybelline was thinking, but this product was a total fail so thank G-d I got it on sale. The good thing was that the powder was smooth and creamy, and it was easily spread. The bad was that there was not enough pigment in the blush to make it show n my skin. The ugly thing was that it was made with titanium dioxide which made my cheeks look ashy and unnatural. I ended up giving the blush away to my fairer skinned neighbor.
It woks very well with a natural to dramatic range.
I love this blush when Im using the peach one I never have to worry about looking to blushy. If I want a more dramatic look I have that option as well. I have three colors and I was blessed enough to find these on clearance for $1.00 each(which is why I bought them) and I will keep buying them. I hate how some blushes can be so touchy and look very thick on when using so little.A MUST BUY!
This blush applies to a pretty finish and is long-lasting, both on the skin and in the pot. A little bit goes a very long way - because it's finely milled and highly-pigmented, I only have to tap a little bit in the lid for one application.
BONUS: This shade is right on the current coral trend - build it up for a bold cheek or apply subtly as the perfect complement to this season's bright lip colors :)
