i was looking for the perfect pink blush, and i found it in down boy. it's highly pigmented, so i only apply a small amount. it looks really nice against my super fair skin.

Quick Take: creamy, natural looking, good value

I bought this blush for my teenage sister at Sephora a few weeks ago and she absolutely loves it. This blush is highly pigmented, but not to be confused with "intensely" pigmented. It is definitely a young, fresh color perfect for brightening up your face. You won't look clownish with this on. My sister often studies late at night, so she just applies this in the morning - one swipe of the product - right onto the apples of her cheeks to eliminate any noticeable fatigue. It really gives her a wonderful glow and youthfulness to her face. There is no shimmer to the product, however. "Down Boy" has a very creamy, smooth texture and leaves a matte finish, perfect for everyday. We took some pictures of it on my sister and the pigmentation of it in the pics left her skin looking naturally rosy and flushed - very cute!

The packaging is super adoarble and includes a mirror. For the amount of blush in the compact and the level of pigmentation, this is SUCH a great buy. The application is smooth and you can easily blend this into your skin. Terrific product! (:

Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking

Picked this up after returning a Tarte cheek stain, which gave me an overly dewy look.

The color looks intense in the pan, but is absolutely natural looking on the skin - a soft flush. The color is very buildable, so I can use it for both day and evening looks. It also feels very soft and smooth going on and blends like a dream. The finish is a perfect balance between matte and dewy.

I will definitely repurchase.

pretty in pink! - 09.02.09
Quick Take: creamy

I love this blush! I was always looking for a strawberry milk colored blush and this is it! Better than Benefit's Dandelion or Thrrob. Its very pink with more white base so the color shows up more on my skin. Love it!

Love, love, love it! - 08.22.09
Quick Take: natural looking, powder, sheer, great color payoff, great for oily skin, great for lighter skintones, rockin'

Great color payoff that gives just the perfect flushed look! I want to look BETTER than "natural", yet still natural... this does that! I can't wear creme blushes due to oily skin, and this gives me the same sheer affect without the streaking and grease. I love this blush! MUCH better than the Benefit Dandelion. (That has a very white underlying hue to it, and no color staying power, even on my pale, oily skin.) But this is fantastic! Say YES to TheBalm "Down Boy"- you will glow!!!

A beautiful matte blush - 08.11.09
Quick Take: prefect neutral color

This blush is amazing. A little goes a long way and leaves a pretty pink flushed look. It's not to pick and not to orange. Just the right blend of tones for light to fair skin color.

Pretty pink cheeks! :) - 07.16.09
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking, perfectly pink

This is a really nice feminine shade of pink, it's highly pigmented so you don't need much. It can easily be used as just a touch of pink or a more intense pink "flush" to your cheeks. Just gorgeous! This is my new favorite pink blush! There's a nice size amount of it as well, I can see this blush lasting me forever! Definitely worth the $20.

amazing product - 06.13.09
This is a easy to use product. It blend easily with other eyeshadows to create different tone of color. It can be worn as a bold color or blended for a subtle hue on your cheeks. It gives you a glow. It is also perfect for traveling and compact with a mirror.

Okay - 05.07.09
This product was just okay - It felt a little too bright on my skin so I gave it to my step-daughter to try. The quality seemed good just not my color.

Pretty Color! - 04.25.09
This is a very pretty pink color! Can be a little messy however and has to be blended very well so that it is not too bright and bold. Otherwise, it is long lasting.
