Review: Illamasqua blush in Naked Rose

Recently, I bought a new blush online and this is my 1st time purchasing an illamasqua blush. I have to say, I quite like the texture of it! :)

This is illamasqua blush in Naked Rose (On the left), on comparison with NARS Madly.

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!

Whee! Bought the LE large bottle of the Purity made simple cleanser. This can last me up to a year & my mum is addicted to it as well!

Does a great job in removing my makeup (excluding waterproof mascara) and mild enough to be used twice a day. The great thing is it works great for my sensitive skin! Highly recommended!:D

I also ordered 2 more blushes from Sephora. I love NARS blushes so I'm always tempted to order 1 whenever i share orders with Kelly. && The newest to my collection is Madly! Super excited to try it and from 1st glance, the colour looks exactly what i hoped for! Loves!

This is my first time ordering from the brand  Illamasqua and I decided to start with a blush from their new collection which is called Naked Rose. Very excited to try it as well!
