An Everyday Pink Blush




Pink Blush?  *Stays away*
That's my reaction ever since I turned 30!  And that was 7 years ago so it has been a good 7 years that I haven't touched a PINK blush unless I am going to apply that on a teenager or a young client!

Then one day, I met with Poise Makeup Professional and found a subtle matte pink cheek color that I can finally call MINE.  Meant for every age.

According to Poise Makeup Professional ---
Rich pigmented formulation with minerals, vitamin E and botanical extracts to provide a silky, soft, light weight application.
Weight/ Size: Net Wt.0.11 oz./ 3.1 G



Shade: Seattle
It looks boring on pan, it is a muted cool-tone pink blush with purple undertone.  It looks extremely matte on pan but upon swatch, you can see a luminous "sheen" that doesn't scream "oily".

Now from the fingers to my cheeks, how will it fair on me who, most of the time, looks unnatural on a pink blush?

First impressions ---
  • The powder is extra smooth and velvety.  It glides onto my cheek with no friction and fallout.
  • 1 layer will achieve a very subtle and light "blush".  
  • Adding 2-3 layers will give a more define look but still subtle enough to be called a daily cheek color.
  • The color works for light to medium skin tone.  Users with darker complexion may need to apply more.
  •  It gives a healthy glow at the center of my face without the extra need to apply highlighting products.

Adding a "contour powder", the Poise Cheek Color in Seattle is a nice "transition" shade making the "contoured area" look more natural than usual.

See that extra glow on my cheeks?  That's all POISE!

Overall, I am very happy with the shade.  One pan may last me a long time because the blush is highly pigmented.

Poise Makeup Professional Mineral Cheek color is priced locally at Php850.00 (approx $18.00).  Available HERE for now.

Do you have a favorite pink blush?

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

  2. It's not pink pink. I dunno, I happen to like pink blushes because it makes one look more youthful. The macaron puff de cheek pink blush by majolica Majorca is my fave.
