Pastel Profashion Cream Blush أحمر الخدود

Money down the drain. Such a beautiful color supposedly 41. But it's just a transparent gel when applied. There are more golden sparkles (actual sparkles, not pearl) than pink color. I have fair skin and any color on it is easily visible. But not this product. I applied and applied (with my finger, brush, and sponge) - it started to shine, visible even from space, and my cheeks barely turned pink. I went to check reviews online and there are Russian bloggers advertising Pastel everywhere right now. It made me even more sad.

I purchased a blush in shade 41. The product has golden shimmer, making it resemble more of a highlighter than a blush. It is semi-transparent and poorly buildable, whether applied with a brush or fingertips. The swatch in the photo (shows the pigmentation).

These cream blushes are amazing, highly pigmented, but blend easily. I bought the shade 43, a matte red, a while ago and decided to try the berry pink shade 48 - I wasn't disappointed. I apply them with a natural brush or my fingers when I'm in a hurry, and sometimes with a sponge if I want to mix both shades. The colors, although vibrant, look natural on the skin. Each shade comes with different motivational phrases - it's interesting!

The blush has a matte finish and offers great pigmentation. It is easy to blend, even with just your fingers. Shade 46 resembles the nearly apricot blush from Rare Beauty.

I didn't order it here, but I really want to recommend this product! The blush is simply stunning for its price! It applies well and blends easily. Shade 41 is a delicate pink with shimmering particles, it highlights beautifully and can also be used as a highlighter. Shade 41 reminds me of Nars' Orgasm shade, but this one is more subtle.

I chose shade 41 for my cool undertone, and these blushes are really convenient. They apply easily and blend seamlessly into a powdery texture. The color shows up well even after applying powder.
