Here's a close-up of it. It is a rather cool toned pink. Slightly lighter than The Balm's Cool Boy.At first, i was a little hesitant to buy it as pink blushes does not look good on me. It always turn out a little red on my cheeks no matter how well it swatches on my hand. This blush is a very subtle kind of blush, it does look pink on my cheeks which i like. I thought it looked really pretty paired with Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Dollface (which btw, turns red on me )
Here's a swatch of it on my hand, next to NARS Madly. :)
The texture is matte but not chalky. Even though it is such a natural looking blush, it's highly pigmented and WILL show up on your skin. :)
I really do like this blush and it last the whole day on my face (~ 6-8hrs) The colour does not oxidise throughout the day as well.
My FOTD. I took the photo at the end of the day. The blush still shows up quite well. & it's great for everyday wear. I think it will go with any look, as it is so subtle. Love it! :) Highly recommended!
