How it feels/smells/looks

Don’t be fooled upon swatching this product as it swatches with almost no pigment, but once applied to the brush, it packs a punch. The product is easy to apply and gives the skin a natural radiance. The finish is relatively matte and leaves you with a subtle glow (with no glitter, just a nice pop of colour).  

Why I like it

The colour selection is spot-on with a range of perfect colours which can used day-to-day and will work with most makeup looks. It doesn’t pull or tug on your foundation which leaves it sitting nicely on top of the skin.

Areas for improvement

My one gripe with this product is the wear-time. It looks fantastic once applied, but definitely doesn’t last a full day of wear! If you plan to go from day-to-night you’d need to reapply a couple of times to keep the flush going.
