Strong blush
I have two of these duos and these are the best blushes that I have ever tried. They are heavily pigmented, so you really just need a light hand. I'm writing this review however, because of a YouTube video that I saw featuring these blushes. The "guru" that reviewed them however didn't know that these were two blushes that are meant to be used together. She thought that it was highlight/blush duo, and that is not the case. The dominate color is so pigmented that on its own it can create to much of an impact for day to day looks. The way I use these blushes is that I tap once into the dominate color and then twice into the blending color to get a more natural blended flush. Sometimes I use the dominate first then use a smaller brush on the secondary color just to blend the edges. I like this because it makes strong blush colors more wearable, and versatile. I also will pat this powder onto my lips then put lip balm over it. The texture is so smooth and creamy that when it's paired with a balm you can't feel the powderyness of the blush.
Smooth
A little goes a long way and the color should be built up from a fine dusting. The pigment in the darker color I s matte and can be intense if applied wrong but the color is beautiful. I have the brighter orange color as well and it is not as intense. Both give a very beautiful glow. The secondary lighter shade is the perfect glowy highlighter.
I was Skeptical..
When I got this blush it was really orange! I usually wear hot pinks to baby pinks. I thought I would mix it up and do a coral color. I was thisclose to returning it. After wearing it a couple of days now I can safely say I love it! It gives a nice healthy glow without looking too heavy. I will be buying more in the future!
