Maybelline Facestudio Blush

I honestly picked this up because the packaging looked sleek and interesting (I admit, it took me a while to figure out how to open it).

I got the blush in 'Peach Pop'. Usually I wouldn't go for such a light colour for my medium skin tone but after using the tester, it looked perfect. It is very pigmented (I even used it as an eyeshadow) and there's not much fall out. It is easy to use and it blends well. It goes on smooth and lasts very long.

I am truly impressed with this product and I'll definitely get other shades as well.

Choosing the right colour blush depends on your skin tone, the season and your moisture levels. I recommend powder blush for oily skin types and for easy application. Use a fluffy blush brush to create the desired affect be it to contour or to create that sun-kissed look. I had the opportunity of trying out 5 of the 6 shades on myself and friends from different ethnic backgrounds.

For fair skin I would suggest the colour 60 Cosmopolitan

For medium or olive skin the colour 70 Rose Madison, 20 Brown

Dare to pink can be used on all skin tones. Fair skin would require one swipe. However, darker skin tones would require a build up of the colour to achieve a more intensified look

100 Peach Pop can also be used on all skin tones to give achieve a sun-kissed look.

It's really affordable at R99.95, small and convenient to fit in your makeup bag and it lasts all day but don't forget to touch up in the evening. I suggest you give it a try for Spring.

I had the opportunity to try, test and review the Maybelline FaceStudio Blush Shade colour 60 Cosmopolitan, which is a tan brown shade. I have seen other colours that are purple, orange and pinker shades. All of these colours are perfect for every skin colour & it stayed on for quite long, after I applied my fixing spray it stayed on for longer than without.

Whats great is its size (compact and travel size), and it obviously aligns with other Maybelline products AND its in-expensive, however, it took me at least 5 minutes to figure out how it opens! It was possibly because I was half asleep early in the morning, however, once I figured it out - It really was nice and quite 'edgy' if you could say.

If you need a good blush, I suggest this Myabelline one is a pretty good option. I give it a 8/10 overall!
