A very nice pink blush that gives you a rosy, lit-from-within look, and brightens up your face. Very pretty colour. A true pink that is not brownish or peachy. I also like it that it comes without shimmer. It is very pigmented so be sure to use very little and dust on your face lightly.

Hands-down one of my all-time favorite blushes. I use this several times a week and it's one of those can't-live-without products for me. I am obsessed with pink blush and this one is so special - very bright but wearable, cheerful, natural-looking flush. I would all it a deep, almost-coral, high-energy pink. I swear it takes 10 years off my appearance and brightens up my whole face. I am nw25 and this looks great with a tan or without. I took off one lippie because the packaging is so messy - this frequently ends up all over my bathroom counter despite the twisty-sifter thing that's supposed to prevent these accidents. I guess any loose powder is just a little harder to deal with than a cream or baked powder blush. I apply this with my Mac 187 and blend for days to get that natural-looking glow. A little goes a long way as all these BE blushers are highly pigmented. This will probably last me forever but I will purchase another to have a backup since it seems all my fave blushes get discontinued.

Lovely, lovely blush. It looks extremely clown-like and Barbie pink in the container, but it actually looks like a lovely, cool-toned pink on the skin. I'm NC25 and very warm, and I can wear this just fine. I THINK the color fades or warms up to a soft petal pink after the first few hours, which may or may not be due to my oily skin. (Taking off a lippie for that.) The staying power ranges from great to alright, depending on whether I have foundation under it or not. I don't wear a lot of foundation, only moisturizer and concealer, so I think this blush is usually gone by 6-8 hrs.

To apply this blush, I would recommend using a light hand and a kabuki (or other soft, big) brush to blend this into the skin. I've gotten used to the packaging for this and I like snap closure that slides over the dispenser holes. I just tap out a bit of blush, close the holes, then swirl my brush inside the container and again against the lid to spread the blush out evenly across my blush.

I have mixed feelings about this blush. For one thing, its super super pigmented. A little goes a very long way so you have to be extra careful. Most of my other blushes are a little more natural on me than this so i always forget and put a little too much on resulting in me looking like I have eczema. It has a shifter top but I stuck it into my travel bag and now most of the product is out in the cap making it hard to pick up the right amount.
I did find tho that if you use your finger to pat or rub the powder over a clear lip gloss or a pinky coral lipstick that it is absolutly beautiful! that's about all i use it for now though

I love the Fruit Cocktail color on fair skin. I bought this and I'm a pretty tanned person, I love the color but not on myself so I just tossed it into my make-up kit to use it up. A little bit goes a long way and that's for sure.
Mineral blush can get messy and sometimes uneven but the blending is amazing.
My favorite is golden gate. I'm glad they did the snap and go closure but I think I just love pressed blushes more...

I absoultely love this blush. I was at my local Sephora looking for a new blush (pink in color) when the SA showed me this color. I have to admit I was a little turned off by the clownish pink color in the container (it is very bright pink) and wouldnt have normally chosen this color on my own. But she got a blush brush and put some on me and I loved it! It is the perfect pink blush, gives a nice healthly glow- But the trick is to use a very light hand cause otherwise you will look overdone. It has a bit of shimmer to it, but it doesnt show up at all once its on. Its just makes your skin look healthly and glowy! Love it

Best. Blush. Ever.
When I was at the BE counter asking for the gal to pick out a "pink" blush for me, she told me to not look at the one she chose because it would "scare me." Of course, I couldn't wait to see what the heck she picked out! When I saw my face in the mirror...oooh...loved it immediately. So fresh and pretty, but not overly done. When she then showed me the Fruit Cocktail container I had to admit it's something I never would have picked out. It IS scary-pink.
A light hand will do the trick and on me it lasts all day. I use it over my BE original powder foundation, and a light dusting of the BE mineral veil softens it up just right.

I didn't like this. It was too bright on my fair skin. And while I absolutely love Bare Minerals foundation, warmth and mineral veil, their blushes are just too messy and spread out too much on my face, if that makes sense. They just don't look good in my opinion. I love mark's Afterglow blush. I'm just a pressed powder blush girl.

Love, love, love this. It is my fave blush. I went to a Bare Escentuals store and the consultant picked this for my deep tan skin tone. I thought she was nuts because it looked SO bright! But after trying it on I decided to give it a try and it is my go to blush. Like other reviewers mentioned, it is great for tanned skin. The powder does tend to go everywhere if your not careful, but to hell with that, it rocks! If I just want a touch of color I just sweep a very small amount across my cheeks and it gives me a very nice soft pink glow.

This blush is GORGEOUS!!! It stays on for many, many hours too. The only bad thing is that the packaging is a little bit inconvenient... powder getting everywhere sometimes... but the product itself is so fantastic that I wouldn't even take off a lippie for just one factor. This goes on my face every morning. :)

I am in love with this blush! I have to admit when I saw reviews about this saying how wonderful and universal this blush was I looked at the color and was like "OMg that is so bright!" Well I am a believer! This is an amazing blush. The color is so beautiful and universally flattering. I can wear this with Faux Tan and get that radiant bronze color with a pop of brightness and healthiness at the cheeks for a night out or just sweep it over for a flush. I got the last one at Sephora the other day and let's just say I will go back for more when this runs out!

Just got this blush today, and it is everything I wanted. Gorgeous color -- looks great with either light or slightly heavier application. I was worried about the slight shimmer being a little too sparkly, but not at all. Goes on beautifully. This blush also has the typical BE staying power, so it will last all day. I'm very happy with this gorgeous pink blush!

This is my absolute favorite blush! It can be used with a light hand for that perfect flush or a heavier hand for night use. I love it and hopefully BE will never discontinue it!

I did not buy this. I tried this out earlier at Sephora and I totally fell in love with this blush. I can't say enough! Love~. I will run there this week to get this one. I wanted to get it so bad there but yes I always buy things after reading reviews. LOVE~
UPDATE: I bought it a few day after I tried on and obsessed with it. I have got alot of compliments since :). The only inconvenient is it is in loose form so I cant take it everywhere with me :( Take of one lippie

This is, and will continue to be my favourite blush!! Im a realy girly-girl and so when i spotted this colour i knew i wanted to try it and received it as a Christmas present. The colour is a gorgeous bright pink and has a warm, almost coral-y undertone rather than being bright pink like fuschia. It also has quite a bit of shimmer to it but not OTT and is very pigmented so the colour in the pot, unlike some blushers, is the colour you will see on your cheeks. The blush sweeps on perfectly and although it's a powder the finish has almost a cream like, dewy finish.
The packaging isnt too handy though, it comes in a clear plastic jar with a sifter and so much like loose powder it could get messy, especially on a night out. To apply I take some of the blush onto a blusher brush and swirl it into the lid to get a more light and even coverage on the brush before sweeping it on!
Overall it's a fabulous product and the best blusher ive tried both in terms of colour and finish and will definately repurchase, although i can see this lasting me a long time! You definately get what you pay for.

This is the BEST pink blush for tanned skintones. It does look VERY bright in the container, but it goes on the perfect barbie pink flush, that's SO flattering to golden skintones, and I would think this would work for neutral or cool skintones as well! SO glad I got this one, it's the perfect pink!

This is a very nice pink blush, I already have nars angelika but I wanted a BE blush because they aren't irritating on my skin. I like to wear this at night actually because it looks very cute and cheeky when I wear it with smokey eyes. This goes on very nicely too, not too heavy.

I LOVE this blush!! With a light hand and using a skunk brush (I have MAC's which I ADORE) it goes on perfectly and looks like I'm glowing from the inside out. I spent a lot of $ looking for the perfect pink, and for me this is it! It not all all dingy or orange and the shimmer is ever so slight. It's so perfect that I'm not even tempted to look anymore. Of course I marked that I will repurchase...but that all depends on if BE still has it in their line in say about 3 years! I've been using this color nearly daily since last summer and hardly put a dent in it.

I find myself wearing this often. I have tan skin, and it still shows up. Just right amount of shimmer--not to "dusty". And yes, a LITTLE goes a long way.
