This is my favorite everyday blush. It's the perfect subtle nude blush on me. The last time I wore it out to lunch with my parents, my mother thought I had lost weight because I suddenly had cheekbones! Haha. I hate that you have to buy separate compacts or palettes, so I gave it a 1 for packaging. But I do love this blush enough to repurchase—I've already bought a backup because Stila discontinued their powder blush pans.

i wanted to try a Stila blush because I like their bronzer so much. I thought the same qualities I find appealing in the bronzer, highly pigmented but is build-able rather than heavy, natural looking in daylight, might apply to their blushes and in this case I was correct. I always enjoyed brighter blushes, and could use any brand at all, even liked shimmer. But all that was before my skin became ultra sensitive and reactive a few yrs ago. While my fair to medium skin has yellow or sallow undertones, my cheeks now always have more pink in them than I'd like so I don't want to add to that. Further, shimmer and most blushes in general, now seem to irritate my skin even if I could use them safely at one time. I had all but given up on blush until I had such success with Stilla's bronzer (the lightest shade), and ordered this blush even though as many have said, this dusky pink looks like nothing much in the pan, and even online when ordering. You might think as I did upon seeing it in person that it won't have much impact or even be discernible, my first concern. When I applied it after using the bronzer my first thought was that unlike other blushes, there was no area of demarcation to distinguish where the blush and the rest of my face, met, or ended. In other words it just somehow melded in, and also has quite an impact. My Df noticed something different and while most men know if you look good or not, would they notice a pale blush added to the mix? I didn't think so and had not mentioned using it. But both first few days I used it he noticed my face was brighter, more lit from within, and though I did not apply more bronzer, nor was heavy handed with the blush, my face somehow looked tanner.
I'm using this about a week now, love it, and find it to be goof proof since there are no harsh areas, or areas where too much pigment accidentally got deposited, to blend in. I love that its matte yet not chalky, nor dry and has not irritated my skin at all. Just a healthy look over all. I bought the sample small size so I'd know if it was right for me, however even though it should last a while as its a good sized sample, I already know I will purchase this full sized.

I LOVE this blush! It is the perfect neutral, natural colour for my skintone (MAC NC20, olive with yellow overtones and freckles), and it has never bothered my sensitive skin. The end!

WOW i love this blush. It is the exact same color as my Outspoken Pink by Jane but it is MUCH MUCh more pigmented. So much so that I only need to go over my cheeks once with my brush and try to be careful not to be too heavy handed with this. It is a very pretty pink and natural color that I love especially since I am so pale. It is the same color as Outspoken Pink but that blush is not very pigmented at all. The only reason I would not buy this again is because of the price. But other than that I LOVE this blush!

Hint is a great neutral blush if you don't want to look too pink or overdone. Great for contouring.

Icky dull when looking at it for the first time, not sure what compelled me to buy this except that I'm low on blush (comparatively!) and I wanted to fill a palette. No, it's good stuff. That dull color is really lively on cheeks and isn't overly sparkly. Nice glowy finish that lasts a long time. Small amount for a high price, that's Stila and blush but good quality as usual.

This looks like an insipid greyed down pink/peach in the pan, but don't be put off by it's initial appearance; it really packs a punch on the skin. I was very surprised to see how pigmented it really is, I only need a touch on my pale skin to give me a nice, very natural pink flush.

This is the worst blush ever on my skin tone. It is the exact color of bruised skin. If I want to create a fake bruise on my face, then I would use this. Besides the bad color, I also find the texture too cakey.

I was surprised by this because ti looks so neatral in the pan but it gives a really nice pinky flush. If i ever run out i will definetly buy it again!

Agreed with comsokid! I do like it because it is a versatile colour that goes with any look. It gives you just a hint of colour that makes it look like a natural flush/blush. Stila does NOT test on animals which is awesome!! I will have to say that this is my HG neutral blush that goes with warm and cool tones. Awesome!

One of the most versatile of Stila's powder blushes, Stila is a neutral toned soft pink with peach undertones. Even though it looks quite pale in the pan, it has good pigmentation and shows up well on my fair skin (Stila 30 watts), but probably would not show up well on darker skin tones.
Because it's neutral toned, it goes with pretty much any look, so it's a great staple to have in my kit. I find I turn to this when I can't decide what blush to wear.

I cannot believe i havent reviewed this yet!!! This is the only blush i have gone through TWICE (although my mum did help me out there lol). Me: LLL Neutral-Olive with Brown Hair and Brown Eyes, Slightly Oily Skin. This is the most perfect neutral beige-y pink ever (MAC blushbaby has nothing on this) with a beautiful soft texture, no shimmer and great lasting power. The packaging kinda sucks (crappy cardboard style stila packaging) but the pan size is good ( i use my stila #21 brush to tap gently and voila perfect amount). It is also ridiculously expensive here in Australia (sold only at MeccaCosmetica) and very difficult to get now as they no longer stock this shade :( Will try to hunt down more since i do truly love it !

i was NOT impressed when i received this in a swap...i'm a very fair person, like a PPP NC15...and i thought, this is so pale, it won't even show up on me! BUT when i put it on, i was so pleasantly surprised! it's a gorgeous flushed shade that doesn't scream "look at me!" but just accentuates my natural coloring beautifully. goes on very smoothly, wears evenly, and doesn't fade off during the day. LOVE it and will buy again when i run out!!

My first review has to be for this wonderful little blush, a huge favourite...dare i say, HG! amongst the 40+ i have in my collection.
It's the perfect neutral pink matte, the one i reach for most days without thinking, because i know it will always look good.
It looks a little blah in the pan, sort of beigey/brown with a hint of pink. However, when applied to my skin it somehow morphs into this lovely neutral pink shade with perhaps a little hint of peach, perfect for my colouring!! It's silky smooth, and easy to apply and blend. I even like the shape of the container for swooshing my brush (Stila #1) around in! :-D I always use a smidge of BB bronzer in light, to warm my fair neutral-yellow toned skin a little, then, with Hint swiped over the top 2/3times, i'm looking naturally flushed and good to go! It also lasts well throughout the day.
I've used up one so far, i'm on my second now, and have another waiting in the wings. I will definitely repurchase this over and over, i love it!
BB Warm Sand, MAC NC20/25 for reference.

I am a huge fan of Stila blushes - they have a variety of shades that give me a nice natural glow that lasts all day. I am also a palette freak, so I love being able to buy things in pan form and pop them into palettes. Stila is pricey, but worth it.

Hint is my HG go-to everyday blush. It is a cool pale nude pink that probably won't show up on a lot of people (I'm a PPP), so it isn't the most universal shade. But it gives me the most perfect natural-looking flush. And it lasts! I have the hardest time with other blushes (Chanel, MAC) fading on me, but not Stila.

For comparison to other Stila Blushes, Hint is paler and browner than Bud but paler and less brown than Fade.

This looks really boring and muted in the pan but once applied, it really livens and gives a great natural pop to the cheeks. On my Asian yellow toned coloring, I thought this would turn muddy as I can't wear brown on my cheeks (and this looks a flat beigy brown)..surprisingly it makes a great polished natural face and I love it for everyday use. Think I MAY actually finish this one!

Received in swap. I was happy when I got my hands on it at the beginning but, unfortunately, I soon realized that this nude-brownish color didn't work for my LLL complexion at all. Too muddy look for my taste, I definitely won't buy it again.

I love stila powder blushes and own quite a few, but Hint just didn't work for me, so I won't repurchase. I thought the mauve-pink-nude color would look nice, but it is just too sheer and light for me. I have to really layer to see any color and I am extremely pale. Eventually I do get some color, but the result isn't very flattering. I am realizing I do better with brighter and more pigmented blushes (applied sparingly and blended well), then with sheer, lighter ones.

HG blush for me! Although too pale and light for evenings, this is the blush I reach for on a daily basis! And, I use it as my eyeshadow too. Very natural looking, no shimmer or sparkle. The light compact packaging makes it super convenient to carry with you. Sweep it on cheeks & eyes, add some mascara & l/g and you're set. I use mine up to the very end every time and have always repurchased. Love it! LOVE IT!

HG blush for me!! i LOVE this blush. i got it in a swap about 2 months ago, and have used it nearly every day (seriously, i've been neglecting my nice nars blushes and cheek stains, and have only reached for them maybe 3-4 times since i got hint). before hint, i had been using dandelion a lot because i'm very pale, and dandelion was one of the only blushes i could apply liberally (meaning with more than one swipe of the brush) without looking clownish. however, dandelion was a little too cool toned for me. hint is just the perfect, natural looking blush color on me. it goes with any makeup, and thought i don't wear much m/u, i don't leave the house without hint on anymore, because it is the perfect thing for a naturally healthy look. i will definitely be rebuying this!
