Fyrinnae sent a small sample of this with my order. I thought it might be too bright on me (I'm fair, NW20), but I love it. In the jar it's a VERY bright -- as in neon or fluorescent -- VERY cool pink, intensely pigmented and very finely milled, with the slightest hint of shimmer. A tiny bit on the brush is plenty for each cheek; blended well, it gives my face a perfect little zing of healthy, glowy color without looking fake or weird, and it lasts through a work day without fading or dulling. I'd prefer a pressed version of this blush -- it's easy to pick up too much loose powder on my brush or to spill the jar. I plan to buy it anyway after I run out of the sample, because of the beautiful color and texture. A pleasant surprise!

Fyrinnae is really fantastic at blushes, and Charm is no exception. The website describes Charm as "Bright, feminine pink with a slight lavender hue and touch of shimmer. Does not apply overly-bright like it appears here. One of our most popular blushes, second only to Enchant. Lip-Safe, NOT eye-safe." I would go so far as to say it looks straight up fuchsia in the jar. To apply it, I take my skunk brush and tap it several times into the lid (that has maybe a pinch of powder.) Then I apply the blush in a circular motion along my cheekbones. It's a soft, cool, clear pink. No brown tones or orange tones. Because it is so bright, and, though it is very blendable and can look quite soft, it's buildable, I'd think it would flatter a wide range of cool skin tones. I'm almost paper-white, and this is incredibly flattering and doll-like. At 6.50$, it's a great value and a sample will last you a while, too.

I almost was going to give my sample away because i thought it would be too bright but I poured out some of it onto my Clinique blushing Blush pan and used that to fill my brush so it might have gotten mixed in a bit but that made the perfect color ! My skin glowed and looked gorgeous that day.

what a fun product! great for skin like mine. i use fyrinnae's light bronzer in matte, in combination with this, and the effect is really nice, soft focus. the color is deceiving in the jar, but on my pale skin, it's such a nice color. plus its super cheap! <3 it. will repurchase.

Such a pretty colour that can look a bit scary in the pot but is lovely on my pale skin. It makes me look much more alert. I get a bit frustrated with the packaging, it's so easy to blow blush everywhere, even with a sieve. A flatter, wider package that actually lets your blush brush in would probably be better....or even pressed. But I like it enough that I've used it nearly every day since I bought it. I'm very glad I bought it.

What a beautiful blush! I have only had this for 2 days but I have fallen in love so I just had to write about it! This is my first loose powder blush too. I ordered a sample, and, because the jar is so small I have to tap a little bit of it out onto a clean, flat surface, then dab my MAC 187 into this, blow the excess off and tap onto the apples of my cheeks. The result? A gorgeous bright pink which is a match made in heaven for my pale skin. This is THE blush I have been looking for, forever. Thank you Fyrinnae, and thank you MUA users for reviewing it!
EDIT: One slight gripe is that the brightness tends to fade after a couple of hours..although perhaps that it more to do with my skin??

charm is a beautiful cool bright pink blush with the tiniest hint of shimmer. i bought this in the full size and am very happy I did. i really like this colour I have nothing like it yet in my collection. i think this is for anyone who isn't looking for anything peachy-corally-brown-mauve. blends well and gives great pigmentation. i love it!

Whoa. I posted on the makeup board here about a week or so ago, asking for a super pink blush that wouldn't turn orange-y--one that matched the little pink purse icon for the fashion board on this site, actually. As I indicated in my post, I have been on a quest for a very long time to find an actual PINK blush; for the past several months I've been using one of Jane's eyeshadows (in "Prom Queen"), which has been ok, but it's an eye shadow (not that that matters, but still)--and it wasn't quite perfect color-wise (albeit the best I'd found thusfar). I have tried every line I can think of--from drugstore to high end--and hadn't yet found the perfect, truly pink blush. One of the first responses I received suggested this; I'd never tried Fynrinnae's products before, but I am so glad that I did! It is gorgeous. I wholeheartedly agree with the comments of the other reviewers, so I won't repeat what they've said, but, yeah, as far as I'm concerned, it's perfect. My quest is, finally, over. In fact, although I purchased only a sample (because I've never been successful in finding anything before, I wasn't going to buy a full-sized container and risk being disappointed), I ran to my computer to purchase the full size approximately 2.6 seconds after ripping open the package and applying this to my cheeks--but then I decided to be less impetuous and wait a day or two to make sure that the color stayed true. And it does. And so I ordered my full size today. And the prices are so reasonable--I would have (and have) paid at least 5X this price during my "perfect pink blush" voyage. Couldn't be happier. Or more tickled pink. Heh.

Beautiful cool pink - REALLY cool - "not kind of" "sort of" cool that ends up turning orange or brown in an hour - a truly cool pink for those of us who need cool tones. Finely milled, with an exceptionally delicate, light texture, and intensely pigmented so you only need a touch. Not overly sparkly, just a hint of sheen. I will be using this often; it is a definite winner. Also got "Seduce", which is violet in the jar, but can be buffed into a rich yet natural-looking finish. For anyone who has a hard time finding cooler shades and who has become discouraged with the preponderence of blushes out there that are described as cool but end up looking exactly the same - either brown, orange, or completely disappeared - I would highly recommend taking a look at Fyrinnae's products. The colors stay fresh, clean, and vibrant; you will be delighted. Pricing is more than reasonable; service is good as well.

For reference I'm pale with warm undertones - Golden Fair in Everyday Minerals, Aventurine in Fyrinnae. This is a cool, satin-finish, bright lolly-pink blush. I have to be wearing the right outfit or something for this blush because it really is a bit too cool-toned for me. But it is very pretty and feminine. There are definitely days when I really enjoy wearing it. I mainly bought Charm because I wanted to see if Fyrinnae's blushes oxidise on me and good news - they do not! This holds it's beautiful pinkness all day! (Shame on you EM!) Being a mineral blush, a tiny speck or two is all that is needed to apply, so my little sample pot will likely last forever, which is good. So whilst I have given this 4 lippies out of 5 and will probably not repurchase this shade, I highly recommend you try it all the same. Particularly if you are cool or neutral in skintone.

This is the description on the website: "Bright, feminine pink with a slight lavender hue and touch of shimmer." On me I notice no shimmer (which is a good thing, I'm so tired of blushes with shimmer overload!), and I also notice no lavender either. IMO this is an exact dupe of my beloved Milani Pink Craze which of course has been discontinued. It is a wearable bright pink that is suitable for PPP skin, but also is very buildable and would look good on LLL skin as well. A lot of bright pinks have a too warm almost orange cast to them, this definitely does not, but it's not too cool either. For ref. I'm EM- fawn, Aromaleigh 1YL.
