A few weeks ago when I was in bed with the flu, I done a bout of online window shopping (as you'll have seen if you read my Sickbed Wishlist post). On the list was a Kevyn Aucoin cream blush, but I thought I'd be after the shade Liquifuschia. All I can say is that I'm glad I popped into Space NK and didn't order online because I preferred this one in real life much more. Liquifuschia was a lot brighter, and I liked that when I blended Isadore out it looked more like a natural rosy glow.
For quite a while now, I've been liking the more natural makeup look and this was an ideal product to help me achieve that. In the pan and in the swatch it's quite a 'Barbie' pink. But when it's blended into a light wash on the cheeks, with my skin tone it looks like I'm naturally blushing which I love. I think it would suit most skin tones, very pale to mid tones really, I'm not sure if it would maybe get a little chalky looking on darker skinned beauties - put there is a gorgeous red shade called Patrice which would be beautiful.
It's very creamy to the touch, which makes application easy. I just dot a little on to where I want the colour and blend with my stippling brush. My favourite thing about this cream blush though is that it doesn't leave your skin looking sticky or wet, as some cream products do. This settles into the skin and while it gives off a glowing finish it's not obvious on the skin, just making your complexion appear brighter overall. This retails for £19.00 and I think it's safe to say, a few more shades could be working their way into my stash in the near future!
This looks like a great natural shade, I've wanted to try one of these blushes for so long! Was after tansoleil but this looks even prettier! xx
ReplyDeleteIf you can I'd recommend going in and swatching them in person! Much easier to choose that way :) xx
DeleteI've heard alot about Kevin Aucion and this blush sounds great! x

I'm quite impressed with this and I'd love to try more products from Kevyn Aucoin! xx
DeleteThis is such a beautiful colour! I bet it'd look good on the lips too.
ReplyDeleteooh I didn't think to try it on my lips! Good plan :) xx
DeleteSuch a gorgeous colour!! Ixx
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've been wearing it so much! xx
DeleteI've never tried a creamy blusher like this but I'm tempted to just for the colour! Gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteI never used to be in to them all that much, and always wore powder blush. Now I'm totally obsessed! I love the finish of a cream blush xx
Deletesuch a pretty colour! I'm confused whether to get Isadore or Pravella? I can not swatch them in person :(
ReplyDeletedo you know which one is cooler tone? x
I read in your Chanel cream blush post, which Kevyn Aucoin cream blush that is very similar to Chanel Affinite? is it liquifuschia? Because I'm planning to get Liquifuschia too, but I already have Affinite. Do you reckon I should get KA or save my money? xx
ReplyDeleteThis is the only Kevyn aucoin blush I own, this when blended into the skin is very similar to affinite. In the pan it doesn't look the same though. Liquifuchia is more intense. I love Kevin aucoin cream blushes but I would go for a completely different shade to get your money's worth. There's no point if it looks similar/the same to your Chanel one :) xx
DeleteThanks for your reply, this is so helpful. I'll get Liquifuschia then! anw, they're on sale now in strawberrynet, that's why I'm considering getting 2 colors hehehe xx
