Product Information
- I was surprised to see that matte lavender Notorious shows up on my skin because it looks so pale in the pan, but the high pigment helps. Actually, all six blushes in this palette are quite pigmented, now that I think about it, and yet still easy to wear, even on medium and deeper skin tones. Notorious is a cool-toned lavender and isn’t excessively blue, so even if you have a warm skin tone (like I do), it doesn’t look too jarring. In fact, it’s shockingly cute. It has juuust enough contrast.
- Matte bright coral Crave makes a dark, intense (and perhaps borderline scary!) first impression in its pan, but if you use a light touch and a blush brush to apply it to your cheeks, they’ll look like you just sprinted a mile…except without the elevated heart rate and all the sweat, LOL!
- As for shimmery pale pink Unlimited, it looks almost dewy. Applied carefully and conservatively with a blush brush, it looks like one of the awesome Hourglass Ambient Highlighting Powders. Applied more heavily, though, it quickly goes full-on Instagram highlight (a.k.a. it’s super frosty). So pull back with this one. I like it as a highlighter. In small doses.
- And then there’s shimmery candy pink Bumpy Ride, which isn’t as shimmery as Unlimited. Now, I’m not normally a shimmery blush person…but I like Bumpy Ride. It’s just barely shimmery. I wouldn’t even call it shiny.
- Overall, I dig this palette, especially the mattes. If someone told me that I could only use one cheek palette for a month, and it had to be this one, I wouldn’t feel like I was missing something. I’m a fan!
