Blush In High Def

Blush is probably the makeup product that I buy the least, which is kind of funny because every time I get my makeup done and its professionally applied, I ooh and ahh over how good it looks. I made a vow that I was going to try and become better about using it, so when I got the chance to try Make Up For Ever’s new HD Microfinish Blush, I jumped at it.

The blush is available in a whopping 14 different shades, which is one of the things that I love the most about Make Up For Ever. They really take into account how different women can have such different skin tones and how one shade doesn’t suit everyone. The colors range from bright to subtle and from pinks to nudes and everything in between, so whatever shade of blush you normally wear, you’re bound to find it here. Each bottle is small and has a pump at the top, so it’s easy to pack and dispense. (Although a word of warning – the blushes are very pigmented so you need a very, very tiny amount of product for the color to show up. If you use a full pump, you’ll end up wasting a ton of blush, so proceed very slowly when using the dispenser. The first time I tried it, I applied so much that when I looked in the mirror, I felt like a clown. Definitely not the reaction I was going for!)

The blush blends in very well and isn’t oily or greasy. I tried three different shades – Truth or Dare (a hot pink), Quickie (a salmon pink), and PDA (a pinky nude) and they all looked very natural on me. They also lasted quite well, which for me is a rarity in a blush. (They’re usually gone by lunchtime on my skin). I really like the little bottles too – they’re so much easier to take with you than a powder and a compact, and even though the bottles seem small when you first look at them, you have to use so little product that they’ll last you forever. Definitely a product worth getting excited over!
