I can’t get enough of this one for the summertime, as it’s the perfect blush/bronzer/highlighter combo with a beautiful blend of brown and peach tones.

After application, I noticed a slight shimmer to the blush, which made the look more refreshed and glowing rather than matte. As an added bonus, the product held up well under my mask, proving it has great staying power.

This shade is fun and ideal for blush-forward makeup looks, and I love the versatility that the duo provides. You can use the powder or the cream alone, or layer them together to get a natural finish that wears well all day long. Often powders and creams don’t layer well together, but these absolutely do, which makes using the product easy. I appreciate that the cream formula isn’t overly emollient or too dry, which helps to create a naturally luminous finish on the skin. While I do find the powder to be a bit chalky, which hinders the blendability a bit, somehow it still looks really nice when blended onto the skin and especially when layered with the cream side.I also love that contrary to a lot of super pigmented products that are really opaque, this one maintains rich pigmentation while somehow being a bit translucent. This allows your skin to show through a bit which makes the finish look really authentic and glowy. If you struggle to find dewy cream blushes that actually last on you, this one is absolutely worth giving a go. Generally speaking, all these blushes are smooth to touch and never chalky. Each pan has a good amount of saturated colour to make sure it applies true on our cheeks. However, all their blushers are either Satin or Shimmer. All have an amount of sparkle/glitter on them so it’s not for those who want a discreet blush for bold eye or lip looks. Another difference between blush and baked blush is baked blush can actually be applied wet or dry to achieve a more intense color payoff.

It gives your skin the most beautiful peachy glow and many users claim it’s a total dupe for the more expensive NARS Orgasm blush. I used to believe that cream blush would never work for my oily skin, but through years of experimentation and trial and error, I’m so glad I was proven wrong because my makeup collection wouldn’t be complete without this incredible formula. It’s quite thin, lightweight, and somehow still creamy, and it blends into the skin with practically no effort at all. This medium, warm pink color has an almost invisible shimmer in it that gives it just the perfect touch of luminosity, and the formula looks gorgeous on bare skin or on top of foundation. I’ve found that many cream formulas don’t layer well on matte foundations—think pilling and patchiness—but I’ve used this one with every base product I own and it looks great no matter what. For a while, I found powder blushes to be boring—a flat, matte wash of color on the cheeks wasn’t adding any excitement to my makeup routine. But then I discovered this blush formula last year and I fell madly in love with it, and ultimately rediscovered my appreciation for a good powder blush. It features the best parts of a powder and a cream—it’s easy to apply just like a powder, and it provides a glow to the skin just like a cream. In the pan, the baked formula appears incredibly shimmery, but once you apply it on the skin, it looks radiant and incredibly flattering. It’s quite pigmented, making it versatile among a wide range of skin tones, and I love that this particular rosy shade has a nice balance of warm and cool undertones which makes it pair well with any makeup look. As for the shade, I love that it's a cool-toned hot pink with just enough warmth in it to be really flattering on tons of different complexions. It's a fun pop of color that's surprisingly wearable for everyday looks. It's also quite pigmented, making it a great choice for people with a wide range of skin tones and depths, but if you have fair skin, be cautioned that just one tap of your brush into the pan will yield some seriously flushed cheeks. If you've been looking for a bold pink powder blush, I don't believe there's a better option on the market than this one.Baked blushes are also more pigmented and are finely milled for a beautiful marbled, multi-colored finish that gives your skin a gorgeous shimmer and natural-looking glow. Petal Primavera, Sunset Passione Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Nylon-12, Dimethicone, Isopropyl Palmitate, Polysorbate 20, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Isohexadecane, Sorbitan Stearate, Lauroyl Lysine, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polysorbate 80, Hexylene Glycol, Tin Oxide, Sorbitan Oleate, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica I personally love that a tiny bit of the product goes a really long way—it adds to the value—but it’s so incredibly pigmented that it does take a learning curve to figure out exactly how to apply it in a way that’s flattering for you. I can see it being a challenging product for blush beginners to work with, but with a little bit of practice, I think it’s totally worth it. Because it’s a little brighter/deeper in tone it might be better suited for medium to dark skin tones. Fully blend in your blush to ensure you’ve reached the desired level of color/pigmentation. I recommend applying your blush in layers, and if you really want a more pigmented color you can lightly dampen your brush.
