LOVE THIS
-06.17.13
Quick Take: natural looking, excellent shadow and contour
I hadn't hear of this brand before, and saw a picture of a model wearing it in a magazine. As they claim it 'suits your alter ego'. I'm in love with this stuff! You can make it very subtle and contour perfectly with disobey. I will definitely purchase again. :)

Fantastic Powder Blusher!
-05.30.13
Long staying power. Highly pigmented. Illamasqua is very well known for the high quality products. No regrets buying them.
Sometimes powder blush tends to be too dry and powdery. This never does so. Very happy with the product. Highly recommend this brand for all cosmetic lovers!

Very disappointed
-05.29.13
Quick Take: strange
I had high hopes for the Naked Rose shade. I heard makeup gurus say it was amazing, so I had to try. This color starts off a lovely soft pink, but after a full day of wear it turned very dark and orange. I looked terrible! I came home from work and quickly washed my face. Something happens to this blish after a few hours of wear. Very disappointing.

-05.27.13
Quick Take: fine powder
I am a medium skintone in the summer and a light-medium in the winter. I had hopes for this blush showing up on my skin since it is a gorgeous baby pink. However, it did not much at all. On my combination oily skin, it oxidized to a reddish color on my cheeks.

Powerfully Pigmented
-05.26.13
Quick Take: natural looking
I absolutely love this blush. I have the orange color called Excite. It is very pigmented, so only work with it in small bits. I have had it for over two years now and I have not hit pan, nor am I close to hitting pan. The money is so very worth it!
Also, don't be afraid of the orange color. It is beautiful on olive and deep skin!

I WAS NOT IMPRESSED
-05.24.13
When I saw this blush online in the color CHASED, it was described as lilac pink which was just what I was looking for. It was out of stock and so I asked to be notified when it was back in stock. (Great option Sephora!) When I got the email I jump online and ordered it. I was very disappointed to find that it was not a lilac pink at all. It is actually more of a hot pink. I decided to give it a try and see if I liked it anyway. NOPE! I found the powder to be very messy. It just rolled off the surface when I swiped my brush across it. I found that it went on streaky and there was a lot of fall out. Needless to say, I went to my local Sephora (which doesn't carry this product) and returned it. BTW that is another great thing about Sephora that lets me feel confident about trying something sight unseen. I know some people are very impressed with this product but I would gladly take a drugstore blush over this anyday.

-05.21.13
Quick Take: natural looking
I bought this color based on flowerchild2995's review, as she mentioned having the NC 15-20 skin tone, which is what I am also. This looks very-pink, but when I put it on it was the most natural looking, healthy glow! Being very fair skinned, most blushes always look too fake on me. I finally found a natural blush! The staying power is great, however, the only thing is it tends to make a bit of crumbs. otherwise, I love it and finally found my natural color.

Tremble
-05.08.13
Quick Take: natural looking, pigmented, long lasting
I have this blush in Tremble and it is such a pretty shade of pink, really natural looking. This blush is very pigmented so be careful when applying this. It's easy to blend and lasts longer than my Nars blushes.

This is my second Illamasqua powder blush and I love it. (The first was Naked Rose.) These blushes are pigmented but still easy to apply and blend. Fantastic color selection. I actually believe I prefer these to Nars and Tarte powder blushes. (Sorry for the $$ in the title, Sephora informed me that the name of the blush was apparently profanity and forced me to change it!)

These are much brighter and more pigmented in person. You really need to check Google images before placing an order. I've done that several times and have always been pleased with what I've ordered. For instance, Chased is more of a hot pink than it appears on the computer image. I do wish Sephora carried Nymph and other shades. These are soft, highly pigmented, and long lasting. You need a very soft brush that isn't dense.

Katie blush
-05.01.13
Quick Take: creamy, natural looking
This blush is so beautiful! At first I was worried it would be too light for my NC15-20 skin tone, but I was wrong. It delivers the most natural, pink pinched cheek glow, and is super pigmented and soft to the touch. Some people say that the powder kicks up a lot of dust, but I use a Real Techniques contour brush (small and dome shaped) and have never had any problems. Basically, fair-skinned ladies looking for a milky pink glow... you must get this blush. It's so worth it.

Love a bit of drama!
-04.30.13
Quick Take: dramatic, great for clubs or a fun night out, playful
I love this blush! Huge color apy off with a hint of drama. I bought this in the color Sin (they since discontinued the color) and it lasts a really long time. I've had it for a couple of years now. It's a violety pink and it gives my cheeks a boost for a night out. I am buying this in Beg... it's a pretty muted rose (or so it appears) and it will make a great addition to my collection. I wear Nars during the day and Illamasqua at night. It's high drama for a fun night out.

-04.25.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
I really can not express how much I love this blush. Even if you don't have a tan, it makes you look like you do, and gives you that summer glow all the time! The color payoff is great, and stays on for about 5 hours without reapplying! I wish it stayed on a bit longer though.

Not what i was looking for
-04.24.13
I bought this in the color intrigue so could use it as a highlighter but it doesn't blend well at all and looks too harsh on my skin.
