The Best Prestige Blushes: 262K Reviews

If you are looking for a natural looking blush with a good amount of sheen to it, this blush will be perfect for you. I love that it is buildable and easy to blend. I wouldn't say that the shine is as strong as Becca's regular Shimmering Skin Perfectors in Moonstone, Opal, or Champagne Pop, but it seems the same as Rose Gold's. The pigmentation seems the same as Rose Gold's which makes me think that if you use Rose Gold as a highlight, you can use these blushes as a highlight as well.
I do have combination skin and the oily parts of my face get very oily, so something to note is that if you have oily cheeks and you apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks, your face may look extra shiny like plastic if you forget to blot your face throughout the day.
On my YouTube channel (girlonSunday), you can see the blush in Tigerlily demo'd and compared to Rose Gold and Champagne Pop. ...read more

I own sooo many of these blushes and I love them beyond all reason! My favorite thing about Tarte blushes is how beautifully they blend into the skin and the variety of colors they have. They have every kind of shade imaginable, so if you want more of a natural flush, you will find it. And if you are looking for more of a pigmented rosy cheek, they have that as well. They have a shade to suit just about anyone's preference and skin tone. I also love the packaging, because they are in the same shade as the blush, so it is super easy to pick out which one you want to use if you store them somewhere, without having to check the label on the back. Also, these last quite a while and will stay put throughout the day without losing pigment. I love layering different shades, and they also have some with shimmer and some without, which just gives you more control over what you prefer. I love brands that give an array of shades and formulas, and Tarte really goes above and beyond with what they offer in this collection. I definitely recommend these to anyone! My fave shades are: Dollface, Exposed, Natural Beauty, Blushing Bride, and Captivating :) ...read more

Before I get into the product review, can we just take a moment to appreciate the simple, elegant packaging NARS has for all their products? Some people hate the velvety-texture on their packaging because product sticks to it but I think it really sets them apart from any brands and creates a more prestigious brand perception.

Onto the blushes... they are SO beautiful. Whether it's Orgasm, a cult favorite, the perfect peachy pink with the slightest shimmer, perfect for all skintones, to Madly, a tan shade that's great for a more natural blush, their colors are absolutely stunning. There is a LOT of product considering you only need the tiniest amount for a great color payoff. The compact is small and fits wonderfully in your make up bag or purse. I have no complaints and will continue to purchase this product... if they ever run out! Thank you NARS for making this amazing make up product. ...read more

I am absolutely obsessed with this blush. Let me get this out of the way first and say that I do not like the packaging that much (but I don't absolutely hate it). The packaging is a heavy cardboard heart (but for $30 I really would prefer something heavier and more sturdy). There are 3 colors in this blush and you can mix them for an all over look or try to pull from specific areas. I like to pull the darker shades for the tops of my cheekbones and lighter for the apples of my cheeks. These have a really nice subtle shimmer and I find that when I use these I do not need highlighter on top. The color payoff is really nice, pigmented, long lasting, and shimmery. I can't recommend these enough. ...read more

Totally loving this blush. I can only comment on Captivating, but can only imagine the rest of the blushes are just as good. This blush is highly pigmented but buildable. One dab of the blush will give you a soft glow of color. If you're looking for more, dab your brush into the blush again once or twice and feather on. A little goes a long way. It's very soft and doesn't feel heavy at all. I use Hourglass Veil primer and Nars luminous foundation and this blush sticks around all day. If you use a setting powder like MUFE loose he powder, the only thing I suggest is either 1. After blush and setting powder, apply one more swipe of the blush, or, 2. Apply blush after the setting powder. I find that using the powder after applying the blush washes the color out a bit even using the tiniest amount of setting powder.plus ...read more
