I love this! Revlon matte barely buff is 2nd to this. I use both of these blushes for the side of the cheeks ad nose to make it thinner. The great thing about this it is subtle and creates the effect you want without looking muddy or too obvious like a bronzer. This is for people who are light skinned and end up looking dirty when wearing a bronzer. Looks lovely in pictures!

I've been using this & another shade of Revlon off & on for at least 20 years & got a replacement recently. This is a great contour shade for fair to medium skintones. Even the soft little brush works well. Like all Revlon products, it's great value for money, especially when the drugstores have a sale. The packaging is very basic, but at this price, who cares? continued >>

This color is indeed pretty, especially paired up with the lipstick of the same name. What a smashing combo... BUT the pigmentation and staying power are really, really awful. I really have to dab and dab and dab to get the color to show up on my fair to medium skin tone. I have a combination skin and rarely sweat, yet even on top of primer, it could only last about an hour on me. I would rather spend more on MAC or MUFE, which give sufficient hue with one swipe. So no, I won't be buying again

Picked this up for my mom and she never used it. It looked different in CVS lighting i guess -.- Tried using it for sculpting and yea its just kind does nothing like the stupid mirror on the bottom. So disappointed.

The only reason I picked this up was because it was 50% off at CVS and I had to spend a minimum amount there to get the 'extra bucks'. This is a nice product if you are looking for a glittery, VERY-sheer application of a 'powder'. I can't even understand why this is classified as a 'blush' as the color is not buildable nor apparent no matter how much is applied. I currently only use it to set a light colored pencil eyeliner (and that's only sometimes). I would not recommend this product.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet, seriously. I got this from a freind on whom it didn't work since her skin tone is on the darker side of medium and it just didn't show up on her skin. I love it both during the winter and during the summer. Right now my skin is NW30/Colorstay 240 Medium Beige and during the winter its NW20 and and I can't remember the colorstay color. It is more suble right now than when my skin is lighter. I'm really bad at describing colors, but on my its a pinki-brown color. This stuff gives me cheekbones, lol. It's great for contouring and creating that under-cheekbones look if you know what I mean.

I think I posted a pic of my wearing it last year and another pic today from my makeup this morning. I can't describe how awesome this color is on my. My first, my-cheeks-but-better color. It's very natural and has just the right amount of shimmer without being glittery. I love how this photographs when it amost looks like I have cheekbones, lol. As to its duration, it seems to last all day over colorstay foundation. As too how long the container lasts I suppose it depends on how much you use. If you have darker skin, it will take more product to see it on your skin. My has lasted over a year, but its not a daily color since I'm fickle and have so many different blushes and rarely wear the same one 2 days in a row. This is in heavy enough rotation that its at the front of my blushes and I use it at least twice a week. Not only has this lasted a year, but there is plenty left. I could see it lasting another year, lol. Also it doen't break out my acne-prone skin. Always nice.
I hope they never dc this color because I truly would be so sad.

It is one of the few revlon blushes I have, and it does its job. I can't really see it as it is not super pigmented, but others say that it makes my cheeks look very nice. I also really like the shimmers - it looks very subtle and you don't end up looking like a glitterball.
My only problem is the price - IT IS SO DAMN EXPENSIVE and the amount of pan that we get is not worth the price

This was my second and last foray into Revlon's powder blushes. I am very fair-skinned and this shade simply deposited no color whatsoever on my skin. If anything, it could be used as sort of a setting powder for other blushes with actual pigment. I had the same experience with the Toast of New York blush. Feh. I'll stick with Cover Girl or Wet 'n' Wild, at half the price!

Another favorite blush shade of mine, this one looks very natural with my extremely pale complexion and auburn hair. It gives me a glow, rather than looking like I used cosmetics to achieve the effect. Always hoping for a way to reduce the clutter in my cosmetic bag (especially when I travel), I recently discovered a really neat trick that I would like to pass along to my fellow MUAers! Not only is this blush a wonderful universally flattering shade on the cheeks, but it is beautiful as an eyeshadow and lip color. I removed the teeny (i.e. useless) brush that comes in the pan with the blush, and replaced it with some Carmex lip balm that I spread into the brush-spot. Now when I use my blush, I swirl it onto my cheeks with a kabuki-style blush brush, then I sweep a little across my upper and lower eyelids with a shadow brush. Lastly, I dab the Carmex lip balm across my lips, and then using a clean finger, I sweep across the blush and then blend it onto my lips, creating my own custom-lipstick! Be sure that you only use a clean finger to sweep across the blush...you don't want to get oil from your fingers in there, nor would you want to get the lip balm into the blush pan.

This is a wonderful mid-tone neutral blush, just this side of warm. It is a soft, bronzer like color with a bit of pinkish shimmer. Does not look "bronze" when applied. Similar to Dallas in many ways, but more earthy. Great throw-in-your-purse, goes with anything blush. And, if it breaks, it is cheap enough to replace easily. UPDATE: I swapped away my NARS Luster. Too orangey for me. This is Luster for a cool-toned skintone. More of a mauvey-beige-earth tone. I am NW20. This does what I wanted Luster to do. I have hit pan. HG.

i bought this color even before Smokey Rose. I thought it would be a neutral beige because it looked brownish in the package, but when i tried it on, it was more neutral pinkish beige. although it is not the neutral brownish color that i was looking for, it is still great for everyday use and it pretty much fits for any skin tone. my friends tried it on, and it looked great on all of them, even if they all have different skin tones. this is the first blush that i ever finish! (i mostly end up throwing away the previous ones) it took me 6 months to finish it even if i use it almost everyday. Great product! one thing that truely amazed me was the staying power...my oily skin would melt away my blushers but not this one. it had stayed 8 hours straight on me. that is why i decided to repurchase revlon blush again, but just trying out a different color.

Looks brown in the package but goes on a light, neutral pink, similar to Blushed but more bronzey and darker. The same comments I gave for Blushed apply here: It does go on quite sheerly. I Like that. It's hard for me to overdo this blush. When I get enough on there to show up, it doesn't look powdery. I am fair to medium skinned and this gives the perfect natural "maybe she's born with it" glow. Much more natural than most of the natural blushes I wear, and yet I can still see the glow it gives me. More glowy and less Blushy.
