Overall
Due to my high IQ level (Just joking!!! LOL) I didn't have a hard time figuring out on how to use this product. I find it really nice and easy to deposit the blush pigment onto the blush and gently sweep it over my cheeks for a nice, natural shade! Though I am a make-up artist, you would be surprised that I don't carry a lot of makeup on regular days, I hate bulky pouch and bags so I appreciate 2-in-1 products! Clinique came out with a super handy blush with brush!
Tips
from Clinique
- with package closed, simultaneously twist the base clockwise and cap counterclockwise so the brush picks up cheek color contained inside cap.
- Lift off cap and lightly tap brush to remove excess.
- Sweep on apples of cheeks, gently blending color up cheekbone toward temple
from AMW
- to make this last longer, apply a cream blush prior to using this blush
- if you want a natural flush: twist the base and cap around 2-3 times then apply onto your cheeks
- if you want a flushed look: twist the base and cap around 5-8 times then apply onto your cheeks
- once you're done with the blush that goes with the product, you can re-use the brush for different blushes
Will I repurchase?
I'd love to!
