During the couple of weeks in April/ May that I actually had a tan I was thrilled to be able to pull some blushes out of my collection that I find a little trickier to wear when I’m at my pastiest. Yes with a light hand I can use them all year round but some things just look better when you’re bronzer.
Clockwise from left we have NARS Orgasm, Illamasqua Hussy, Topshop cream blush in Pinch, The Balm Hot Mama, Sleek Scandalous.
Swatched from top to bottom The Balm Hot Mama, Topshop Pinch, Illamasqua Hussy, NARS Orgasm and Sleek Scandalous.
All of these are very pigmented and easy to overdo which can make them very unforgiving on pale skin. In fact I generally apply all of these with my MAC 188 stippling brush.
Do you switch up your blush depending on the time of year? Let me know in the comments! x
Stunning shades, I have the hotmama shade and like it, agree you need to use a light hand if you're pale like me!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely, I'm really looking forward to getting more wear out of them this summer! x

ReplyDeleteLove the swatches. I usually choose the blush by which would go well with my eyeshadow colors. Haha.

Super pretty colours! I love the look of Pinch and Hussy :) xx
ReplyDeleteHi <3 I think these are gorgeous for summertime because of the light pink hues. I prefer to wear them during spring and summer, as oppose to winter, because my cheeks get naturally rosy due to the cold.
