I have very pale Asian skin so I was a little hesitant to try this shade but having loved exposed for so long, I wanted to try another shade in this blush line. This color is really lovely! Nice and bright without looking scary and perfect for spring/summer. I think the coral tone will suit a lot of different ladies.

"Blissful" is a very warm peach (nearly coral) that still manages to look nice on my cool (neutral-leaning) very fair skin. It lasts at least nine hours on me, and it's true that a little goes a loooooong way--even when applying only half as much as I would with drugstore blushes, I ended up with clown cheeks. I've since purchased a Tarte brush to help me pick up less product, and it's working out nicely. I've been using it for two weeks now and the pan still looks brand new; I expect this will last me well over a year. Has a nice matte finish and imparts a lovely flush of color. I can't wait to try out a few more!

I bought this when I was in Ulta, gathering supplies to remove my calgels at home. I wanted a peachy, pinky color and liked the swatch I made on my wrist. I'm an olive-colored person, but untanned, so I wear a dusting of this to brighten up my complexion.

I really like it. It is matte and has a high color pay off. It stays on me all day at work. If I wear just a bit, I have a nice peachy glow for my yellowy olive skin.

If you think you need to see pigment on the brush to get an effect, you are not going to like what you do to your face. The powder really doesn't show on the brush. I would recommend tapping the brush on the pan and tapping it lightly to your face, blending after you've gotten the color you want. A little goes a long way. For real.

Blissful is the newest addition to my Tarte AC Blush collection. I also have Tipsy, Glisten, Dollface, and Exposed. I love them all. On my NC15/NARS Gobi skin, Blissful is a matte (but not dull) healthy peachy/pink color. As with the other AC blushes, it stays on all day and applies wonderfully. It's the perfect spring shade! I love the packaging of these blushes and have absolutely no complaints on that end. I do wish they were a bit more affordable, but that's just because I want to buy all of them; not because I don't think they're worth the price. :)

This is one of my favorite powder blushes for a few reasons:
1. It isn't super sparkly. I am not sure when that became a thing - but a lot of mineral products add a ton of unnatural shimmer.
2. The colour is very flattering. It looks very scary in the package, but it goes on in a sheer and buildable way. You definitely can overdo it with this colour though - so start light and add.
3. It lasts a long time - I wouldn't say 12 hours, but probably 6-8. Enough to get home from work and still have a bit of colour. Its the longest lasting powder I own and the next best thing to a stain.
4. It lasts a long time. I have had mine (using daily) for about 8-9 months. I still have some left.
5. It's (more) natural - I like tarte's approach to chemicals: less is more.

Downsides: it is expensive & if you drop it, it is definitely going to break - some products hold up a bit better to abuse (this stuff doesn't break from being carried around in your purse though).

Overall, I think this looks gorgeous on fair warm skin tones - but also beautiful on medium/olive skin with yellow undertones. It might look a bit weird if you had a really cool skin tone just because it might be a bit jarring. But that's just my opinion.

I love this blush! The color itself is perfect whether Its summer or winter time. Everyone is so crazy over NARS orgasm but I never saw anything great in it. Blissful is amazing and doesn't move or fade during the day!

I absolutely love this blush. I also have Dollface which I love just as much. The texture is very smooth, soft, and not at all powdery. It's quite pigmented so I like to use a fluffy brush rather than a dense brush to apply it. I have very pale (NW15) skin with pinkish undertones and the colour is a perfect peachy coral and really warms up my face and still looks natural. It seems to be universally flattering as I have seen tons of other people wearing it and they all looked lovely. I dropped it on ceramic floor by accident and the blush pan did pop out but nothing broke and the pan popped right back in because it's attached magnetically to the compact.

The color I got is named Blissful which is a universally great color. Warm enough to work with both fair skinned and medium toned girls. It gives a very nice pinkish flush and the staying power is good. Packaging wise, I like that it's slim enough for me to carry 2 blushes in my cosmetic purse. However, I wasn't too pleased that the actual blush tin inside the compact rotates each time I use it. I don't know if I got a dud product but it seems that the tin is not fully secured. Over-all, I would love to try out other shades from this line.

This is a light peach in the container, but goes on as a pink-peach flush. It is fairly light, so can be natural in winter for my medium-light complexion. (Maybe an NC25-20.) The compact is the color of the blush, which makes finding the one you want easy if you have several Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes. There is some micro-glitter, not a ton, but it is there. It lasts well. This would work on most complexions that are medium to light, would probably not show up on women with deeper complexions.

This is my favorite Amazonian clay blush so far (I also have Dollface and the 3 shades that came in the 2012 Holiday set). Blissful is a pretty coral shade - not too pink and not too orange - that is the most natural but flattering looking blush I've found to date (and I own >50 blushes). I think I'm N10-N15 but not entirely sure; I usually wear Ivory and Fair foundation shades. I love wearing Blissful SO much. You only need to tap your brush lightly in the pan and that's enough for one cheek for a gentle splash of color! I always wear it over foundation over primer and the staying power is fantastic. Ugh, I love it so much. Please give it a shot if you have pale to medium skin.

I love the Amazonian Clay blushes, and want to get more. This was my first one, and it does stay on all day on my oily skin. It's very pigmented, so a little goes a long way, and this will last me quite a while. I love that their packaging color mimics the color of the blush, like the Stila Convertible Colors, which I also like.

I have to say, I LOVE this blush. The amazonian clay blushes can look frightening in their pans, but once they are blended, they look great.
This is my favorite color out of all the blushes. I am a tan skinned asian, and on me it appears like a very warm and peachy tone. It doesn't make me look oily after a few hours like other blushes I've tried and it stays all day. Its a great everyday blush to wear!

Beautiful color and lots of pigment. This blush lasts all day, seriously. And it's skin friendly, too. I guess moving to VT has had an effect on me, because I really like that Tarte doesn't do animal testing, too. Love it!

To be honest, I don't see why this particular brand of blush gets a lot of love. I'm glad that I tried it before buying. Swatches of this blush looked pretty damn gorgeous. I was fooled.


Okay, well ... the pigmentation is definitely present with this blush. This shade is described as a "warm peach." I call it more of a peach-coral. It's definitely pretty, but pulled a little bit rosy on my NARS Fiji/NC27ish skin. I'm hesitant to call it a peachy rose since others don't seem to be experiencing this. BUT this is where the positives end for me. My biggest gripe is the powdery/chalky texture. Because of this, it's hard to blend and it just ends up looking messy on me. Lastly, this does not last long for my oily skin. I never expect my blush to last 12 hours, though I do expect it to last more than 3 :

IMHO, this is one of those overrated products that I wanted to like. I suggest trying on these blushes first because formula is everything (as I learned on MUB) :)

for reference, my two favorite blushes are the NYX blush in Peach and NARS Orgasm. I love pink coral/peach blushes because they give me the most natural flawless look.

Alas, acne strikes again and the NARS seems to be breaking me out and the NYX does not have the staying power to wear alone (I would always wear maybelline dream mousse in peach under it but its been discontinued :/ )

I heard a lot of good things about these brushes, and when I heard this color was a peachy pink I just had to have it.

First of all, color pay off is awesome. You can barely apply and have a great amount come on....with that being said it looks too clowny too easily and not very natural.

I like the quality, but I just feel like the color advertised is misleading because it just looks like a clowny pink color...and I wanted something to replace my orgasm blush.

I just don't uderstand this blush. Sephora.com describes this blush as "warm peach". There is nothing peach looking about the blush. It just looks pink with maybe the slightest hint of warmth. I'm adding pictures above so you can see for yourself. On me the color doesn't show up too much. Of the three Tarte blushes that I have (+Natural Beauty, & Tipsy), this is my least favorite. I honestly rarely reach for it.


What is even worse than the fact that this is claiming to be peach when it's not, is the texture. The blush is really dry and it's hard to get it onto the brush. Once again, I find this to be drier and chalkier than the other Tarte blushes that I have. This blush does not seem to blend very well either. At times I truly question if I just got a dud. Most people here seem pleased with the blush. Overall, I'm sad that I kept this blush. I've had it a while so there isn't anything that I can do about it.

I love this blush to add some nice color to my olive colored skin. I was a devoted user of Nars Orgasm for years. I finally decided to try Tart's Amazonian Clay in Blissful, hoping to find something that lasted even longer. I have fallen in love with this product. It doesnt last as long as it promises, honestly it lasts about half my work day.. but I also dont use a primer or a powder to set it. Overall I love the packaging, the color and I would definitely keep buying this product!! Beautiful color!

Another NC25 here and Tipsy is my absolute favorite of all the Amazonian Clay blushes. The peachy-pinky coral is perfect any time of year, with our without bronzer, and pretty much with all my various everyday eye makeup combos. Blushes are pretty and it's really hard to pass up all the lovely colors, but I've decided that I really only need a couple blushes. I've had my Blissful for over a year and I've barely made a dent in the pan. The relief design and all the hatchmarks are still visible. This blush is densely packed and super pigmented. Staying power is fantastic although it starts to fade towards the end of the day. Still, it's a great blush. My only complaint is that the compact is really hard to open easily without possibly breaking a nail. I

I have acne-prone skin. I'm very careful when picking out blushes because I breakout within a day or two after trying on something that doesn't agree with me. One of the ladies at Sephora recommended me this blush because it has Amazonian Clay in it, which will helps control the oiliness of my skin. I've had this blush for almost a year now, and I adore it. I've never broken out, and it looks good against my yellow skintone. I don't need a lot of it either. I usually drab my brush a few times (no scrubbing motions necessary!), and then swipe it across my cheeks. It gives me a nice glow, and it lasts all day. It also feels light on my face, so I never feel like I have a lot of makeup on. I would definitely recommend this for a daytime look.
