Great blush! I have this in Extas, a bright candy-apple red matte with pink undertones, and I'm very pleased. It's very pigmented, and this is definitely a blush shade you have to be careful with, it's easy to over-apply.
When you get it right it can do anything from a very natural-looking just-in-from-the-cold kind of flush on my PPP skin, to very dramatic. It's perfect for a porcelain doll kind of blush, and I like that it doesn't really look pink, but like the sheer, transparent wash of red that it is. I think this would make a great eye shadow for anyone looking for a true red, too.
Lasting power is excellent, the packaging is sleek, functional and attractive. I want more of these blushes and other products from this underappreciated brand.

Finally, a pink I can wear!
Face Stockholm's "Gentle" is the perfect blend of taupe and pink. In the case it looks dark, almost like a sunburned tone, but on my LLL, NC-20 skin, I get a perfect glow that lasts for hours.
The packaging is a pretty silver and the lid pops open. I wish FS would spread distribution to larger cities in the U.S.
Next time I visit the Big Apple, I will go to Soho and look at more products from this line.

I have this blush in Aura and I have to say it is one that I keep returning to. It doesn't look like much in the package, but on it is a beautiful soft pinkish color without being too pink. The staying power of these blushes are top-notch. This company is underrated, maybe because it is very hard to find. Last time I checked their website was down! Luckily there is a store 45 min. from my house. Every time I go, I end up buying more than I intended to. Alas.

I have it in Körsbär. This is the perfect natural colour. Not brown, not pink, not rosy or peachy it is just perfect!

"Peace" is the most beautiful, natural-looking glowy peach color. It has a lovely bit of shimmer, and stays put all day. I bought it for $4 or $5 on a Beauty.com sale and compared to $20-something for NARS Orgasm--this was the deal of the century and very comparable in color and quality. Kansla is also nice for when I am more tan. I love these cute, flat little pots of blush!

I have 6 or 7 of these. They are wonderful. Pigment is great, texture is lovely, and the packaging is nice and compact (but you still get a good amount for your money). They come in a HUGE variety of shades, both matte and shimmers.
Many can be found 50% off or more on Beauty.com lately (hence my excessive # of these blushes).
Some of the best blushes out there, in my opinion.

I consider "Gentle" on eof my grail colors. A nude pink w/ slight brown undertones. Very natural on a PPP/NC20 skin tone.
I tend to look to pink in most pink toned blushes - not this.
Good, even texture.

I recently purchase this blush in "Egypt," a browny-taupey shade that looked too brown to wear; but surprise: it was perfect for my skin tone. Goes on nice and smooth, and very natural. The only complaint I have is that the compact itself is very small, and there's not much product, compared to other lines, such as Nars. Regardless, I'm pleased with this purchase.

One of my favorite blushers of all time is Face Stockholm's Korsbar. Its a mauve shade that wears beautifully and it was so affordable! The packaging is great but the top tends to crack and look a little funky over time.

This was the first FACE Stockholm product I had ever purchased...and I'm SO glad I discovered this line after hearing only small tidbits about it back in the States. I was visiting Copenhagen, and a "beauty trauma" occured, when my favorite blush ran out. So while out shopping, my friend and I ran into a FACE Stockholm store, and I chose the blush that most closely matched the one I'd lost. I ended up with the powder blush in "Vision". What a PERFECT formula! The packaging is sleek--a flat, black, screw-top compact. Since it is flat, one might think they aren't getting as much product, but that's hardly the case. It's the same as most powder blushes of comparable size (think: Vincent Longo), and it will last you FOREVER since a little bit goes a long way. Since trying the blush, I have purchased several of the FACE line here in the U.S., and I haven't been disappointed yet.
