Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking
This cream blusher is extremely creamy and the color is intense and rich. It's exactly what I was looking for in a cream blusher. I can use my fingers or a brush to apply.

3 amazing shades!
-05.06.13
Purchased brazen, betray, and libido. I think all three are beautiful shades for women of color. Brazen looks like a flush after a hike. Betray is a romantic brown plummy rose shade. I think it would be great for dinner by candlelight. Libido is great color for a summer bronze look or if you just want a subtle warm glow to your skin.

Quick Take: creamy, natural looking
in the pan it looks like beige tan and on the skin its a peach-tan. pretty subtle and completely natural looking. if you are looking for more of a pink or berry, this is not for you. this is for someone looking for a cream blush that appears very very natural. i wear it on weekends with sunblock and lipgloss for a no-makeup look.

Nice Product
-05.06.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
Light Touch Blush. Very airy and wears more like a stain.
Reapplication will be required if you need an all day look.
However, if you want a Spring-Kissed Look, this ones for you!

Blush excellence!
-05.05.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking, radiant
I did not believe that any product could be as good as the glowing, 5 star reviews it received... I was so wrong. This product is luminous, natural looking, and truly looks like you have blushed. I have good skin, but with this blush, it is great. A 50+ year old dream come true...

Wonderful Product
-04.26.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking
This is the perfect color (Laid) for my NC40 skintone, looks great when applied lightly for a natural but beautiful flush or slightly stronger for a more intense look. The product itself is easy to apply and lasts well during the course of the day.

obsessed with this blush
-04.24.13
i love this blush. the colors are highly pigmented but can be blended out to a very natural finish. looks not too wet, not too dry. on me (mufe 118-125 asian skin), betray is a plummy rose and can be too much if not blended out well. promise is a lovely light pink. and zygomatic is a very natural tan-peach. love them all.

Great long lasting color
-03.30.13
Quick Take: wonderful
This blusher is clean and bright and lasts for many hours. I have medium, olive skin and this shade of pink takes very little product to make my cheeks look naturally rosy. It is smooth, easy to apply, and easy to blend. It is long lasting and very natural once it is blended in. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a natural looking, lively blush in their cheeks.

Absolutely fantastic blushers!
-03.29.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking, easy to apply, unique colors
I first bought Rude and I loved it so much, I bought several more of these creme blushers. Now, I have Lies, Promise, Laid, Dixie and Zygomatic. What I find amazing about these blushers is that any of the colors sheer out very easily, giving a translucent glow and touch of color. Unlike all the other blushers I have used, you can wear just about any of the colors and they all look great. I am medium complexion and I love the way these blushers look. And, it lasts all day; I don't have to touch up at all. They are deeply pigmented and I use a blusher brush, just a light swipe in the pan is all you need. They are extremely natural looking. I love wearing different pink lipsticks and gloss with these blushers. I have abandoned all of my other blushers and I am just using these as well as some of the Illamasqua powder blushers, which are also fantastic. Can't say enough about this brand. And, Zygomatic, which I thought would be too dark for my skin color, is such a beautiful shade of light peach with a tinge of brown--very natural looking and great for everyday. Lies is a great highlighter. Promise is a beautiful pink that would look good on everyone. And, Dixie may look bright in the pan, but when you put it on and sheer it out, it is a beautiful peachy pink.

Love this color!
-03.07.13
This color of this blush would be good for any skin tone. I purchased this because powder blushes were starting to make me look older. It stays on all day and gives me that little bit of color and look of dewiness I needed. Definitely recommend!

Laid looks beautiful on dark skin
-03.05.13
Quick Take: creamy, natural looking, pigmented
Women with darker skin, do not be afraid of how bright Laid looks in the pan. I purchased this on a whim and it is GORGEOUS on my skin. I actually use two fingers to dab the blush along my cheeks and blend in. A little goes a long way. The outcome is a beautiful flush that does not look clownish or over the top. It's buildable so you can determine how light or heavy you want the application. I am very impressed. To me, it lasts about the same as my favorite dry Nars blushes (thinking exhibit A). I don't think the cream texture makes this disappear faster.

Gotta Have Them All!

Quick Take: high pigment, creamy finish
To me Illamasqua's cream blush is the best you can buy. My favorites are the colors: Lies, Dixie, Rude, and Laid. If you have dry skin, this is a great product to give you that dewy finish. Lies works as an amazing highlighter on fair skin.

Promise and Zygomatic
-02.10.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking
I bought Promise first (baby doll bright pink, buildable), this color is so nice for any skin type. It is very concentrated color but I like that because I can use less and the product will last longer.. Zygomatic- is a nude pale brown/taupe I wouldn't say it is peachy.. Very nice for natural days but still want color and dewiness. Love this cream blush, I use sephora Cream Blush Brush. Works perfectly.

Natural Flush
-02.06.13
Quick Take: creamy, natural looking
A creamy blush with great blending power and rich color. I purchased this in Rude and the color is deceiving. It's a fresh everyday flush on my olive skin and a little goes a long way. The color is saturated so you only need a small amount on your ring finger and lightly tap on your skin to build and blend to your desired color. I'm dying to try Brazen but think Rude is a great starting point and will work with most skin tones. The only reason I did not give this a 5 rating was the staying power; I have normal skin (a little dry right now due to winter) and it only lasted a couple of hours but everyone's skin is different and I would definitely recommend this product.

The Perfect Blush
-02.05.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking, glowing
Despite my love for make up, I've always been a bit afraid of blush. However, I eventually grew to like it and have been experimenting with a few. I've mostly used powder blushes, such as the famous Nars Orgasm (which I do like) and Illamasqua power blushes. I've liked all these blushes, but I have very temperamental skin (think oily-combination with really dry flakey patches in colder weather) so could never really find the blush that was just right.
I decided that I wanted to try a cream blush and went with Illamasqua because I've always loved the brand. This blush did not disappoint! It's creamy but not heavy or sticky, and is very pigmented so you don't need too much product. The container will last you a very long time. It's beautiful and glowy, but not too oily for my combination skin. If you've never tried cream blushes and are looking for somewhere to start, look no further. I have the color "Rude", which looks extremely bright but is sheered out to a beautiful peachy color.

Best cream blush
-02.02.13
This brand makes the BEST cream and powder blushes. Any color you get you will not be disappointed. Pigmentation is great, can be sneered out and very build-able. A little goes a long way ... Light hand for starters. My fav cream blush color is Promise most perfect light pink w color on the market.
