Broke out into a rash

I’m on day 2 of wearing the blush. I loved it. Sheer, but gave me a beautiful almost sunburnt look on my pale skin. Why am I giving it a 1 star? Well after 12 hours of wear today, I have broken out in bumpy red hives where the blush was. I assume it’s from the daisy oil.

Pass

The blush is very sheer, you do have to build up. What bothers me the most is that the packaging is incredibly cheap, feels like drugstore 100% , for the price point and for the brands history I expected much more. Disappointed

Cutest packaging but mid formula

I think this is an okay cream blush stick. I loveee the packaging of this it’s so cute, and the shade is really nice too. Originally when this goes on it looks glowy and pretty but this almost feels like it eats away at the makeup a bit more than other cream blushes do and doesn’t look very good a couple of hours into wearing. I still will wear it but I wouldn’t necessarily run out to Buy it, and if you have oily skin steer clear of this, I have combo/ dry skin so I kind of can make this...

Beautiful yet flawed

the packaging is beautiful and I wanted to try something new. However, if you blend in, the pigment is not very strong. Overall, I think the product is beautiful and the formula is very smooth and creamy but the pigment goes on strong but fades out quickly when blended in, not leaving much color.

Flawless finish , long wearing , super versatile

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Im absolutely in love with this blush stick it feels like butteron the skin so smooth and easy to apply.

It lasts for all day without Fading yet is super easy to remove a the end of the day I highly recommend it

Shady Business-doesn’t last, fades quickly

While I absolutely LOVE the postmodern style packaging, and wanted so badly to hoard all the shades, I’m glad I didn’t. Super easy to blend but I had to use so much just for the color to show up. And after maybe an hour, it faded significantly.

Pass

Unfortunately it’s a terrible blush and I had to return it, for $54 after tax you get huge tacky and cheap packaging with little product. The blush does not last long if you just blend it it’s gone.

Vibrant and versatile

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really enjoyed this color on my skin tone, which is a light Olive. This is a very fun summer color. This would look so good on someone with darker skin- this shade would pop! I did the paper, black test and not much came off, even though I did put on a good amount on my lips. I didn’t need much on my lips because the color saturation was that good. I applied just a little on the sides of my cheek bones because usually cream blushes...

Buildable and smooth

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Beautiful! This blush is sooo adorable. Blendable and buildable product that stays on all day (and night) until you wash it off. The appearance is adorable as it’s a silicon feeling, yellow, with a chrome looking flower on top. I would definitely buy all different colors and will be wearing constantly!

Adorable packaging, disappointing product

I admit, I purchased this product because I was enamored with the packaging, which is just as cute in person. But the product itself proved disappointing; I had trouble blending evenly (with both my fingers and my best blush brush) and the resulting finish was patchy with little color payoff. I eventually had the best luck applying first to the back of my hand to warm the product up, then using a blush to stipple onto my cheeks, slowly building the product up with 3-4 applications. But even...

Love this blush!

I love these blushes (I have 2 now - Self Centred and Twin Cheeks). Self Centred is long-wearing, sheer, and a perfect shade for the times when I just want a little colour. It’s also buildable for the times when I need a little more. And the packaging is fabulous! Glad to see Marc Jacobs once again!

Perfect winter blush

Beautiful pigment, perfect for cool tone looks! Love putting it on my hand first before applying with a blush to diffuse it because it’s so pigmented!
