Amazing Product. Gorgeous Colours. Stays on my skin for a while. Might be just me, but regarding the packaging can sometimes take me longer than it should to open it. *shyface* Apart from that, amazing and definitely will be repurchasing!

texture: so smooth and not powdery at all (compared to elf studio powder blush). no shimmer, matte. it doesnt feel greasy. i like that the texture is quite invisible on the face. very impressed with the texture.
color: it has some peach, rose and light terracotta in it.
well pigmented. you just need to swap it with your brush maximum twice to get the color on your face. when i dont wanna wear pink blush, thats the one i use all the time.
packaging: not easy to open if you try to open it in a traditional way. there is a gimmick! open it from the corner. put your nail in the line between the two shells.

I absolutely love Sleek's blushes, but Suede is by far my favorite. It blends amazingly with my skintone and every time I am looking for a subtle, natural makeup I go for this and a nude lipstick. The packaging is, as the name of the brand indicates, sleek, strong and has a nice mirror, the color pay-off is fantastic and with very little you can do a lot. I really don't know how to describe this tone. At first I thought I could use it as a very light contour because it looks more brownish on the packaging, but it is the perfect mixture between brown and peach. It looks great on light to medium skin and it is fully matte. I am in love with it!

I adore this blush! It's a brown-peach-tan shade. It has reddish tones in some lights, but more pinky tones in others. It's one of those shades like Nars Douceur and Tarte Exposed that's definitely a blush, but can act a bit like a bronzer - not actually bronzing, but adding definition and shape. It's my go-to for everyday. I'd say the texture is harder than a lot of blushes, on the dry side, but very pigmented. You definitely want to use a light hand when picking up and applying it. I've had it for over a year and use it regularly, but it almost looks untouched! Also, the packaging is just gorgeous, I love the little peachy nude flower and the basic, functional, sturdy packaging. I hope Sleek expands to the US, I've been so impressed with this brand!

As usual, I love Sleek's packaging - sturdy, practical and compact.
I bought this with the intention of using it as a bronzer, as being very pale, most bronzers look too orange on my skin tone.
While this matte blush looks like a pinky tinged brown in the pan, on my pale skin it comes up as a muted peachy pink. It would be a great blush if you were after something very neutral. I can't complain about it not being a bronzer, as it isn't... but this one just didn't 'wow' me like my other sleek blushes. If I was after a peach, I would go for the incredibly brightening 'Life's a Peach'. This one is nicely pigmented, not so much that it's difficult to work with but not so little that you need to pack it on, it also seems to be a little chalkier than the rest of Sleek's blushes. Kudos to Sleek for offering such a great variety of matte blushes (I'm not a big fan of sparkles!), and this is by no means a bad blush - but this one's my least favorite of the four that I have from their range!

i LOVE this blush!
it's peachy brown on me (neutral to warm, around nc/nw 20-25) and can be work as blush/bronzer .. it's such a natural shades, quite easy to blend, stay for 6 hours for me (i have oily skin) .. fool-proof!

i also love the packaging, it's simple, sleek and have mirror inside

the only bad thing is it doesnt including brush/puff, even the bad one, because it's always nice to have brush/puff with your blush. You might forget bring another brush with you.

i will definately repuchase if i could finish this one :D

I bought this color based on reviews which I was leery about. I seem to go against the reviews here with most things...moving on.
This blush is beautiful! I am nw20 and find most warm blushes go muddy with my skin tone. Because this is such a good quality blush my oils don't oxidize the color to muddy it up.
It is like a bronzer and blush in one. Easy to apply and it lasts for about 4-6 hours. It dosent last too long, but I dont mind that aspect, especially if the color is as gorgeous as this one is.
I am in the USA and had a wonderful buying experience from the Sleek website.

This is my first experience with Sleek makeup and I think I might be hooked already. I got this for £4.29 in Superdrug. It's my first "neutral" blush - all my other blushes are pink or rose colours. The packaging is very good, big mirror, no useless brush taking up space. You only need to dip in your brush very slightly and need quite a light hand applying it. And also blending - lots of it - is essential. A little goes a long way. I love using this more like a bronzer - a little on the forehead, bridge of my nose, chin and cheeks. I would imagine this being one of the blushes/bronzers I would take on holiday when you don't want to put on too much make up on your face. Just use this for a sunkissed look. So far the product seems of a very good quality, it feels almost creamy and very comfortable on my skin. Thumbs up!

I love this blush. I bought this for £4.29 in store, great price. You get 8g of product, I was looking at some blushers, you get 3g for £8- so I was happy to try this out purely for good value.
The powder picks up really well on the brush. I dot my brush in once and I have lots of powder on the end. You can contour with this blush and the packaging I think is sophisticated and robust. Really pleased with this colour for my pale skin- a kind of blush bronzer.

There should be more blushes like this, it's a gorgeous neutral matte color that pulls quite pink on my NW15 skin but looks completely orange (well, brown-ish orange) in the pan. There's absolutely no shimmer in it. I usually prefer a little more color on my cheeks but this is perfect for days when I want to look a little more natural. This is definitely appropriate for pale girls but it would compliment medium tanned skin as well. I'm not sure how much it would show up on darker skintones though because it seems a little less pigmented than the other Sleek blushes. I like the packaging as well, very simple and classy.

Best natural blush ever!!! I was a bit dubious, because it looked so flat and frankly orangey in the box. I put it on before a school run, and people asked what was different, as I looked radiant! Given that I had a streaming cold that morning, it was nothing short of a miracle! I have fair, yellow-based skin, and it didn't turn me tandoori, as I'd been afraid.

Gorgeous colour, this is my new favourite blush! I'm quite pale but this works so well with my skin tone and really warms my complexion. Sleek blushes have a great quality formulation and look and perform better than some high end brands. For the price you can't go wrong.

I had been looking for a warm natural looking blush on the peachy side for a while and meanwhile I picked up a liquid blush by MAC in Ladyblush, which in the store looked perfect but ever since has been looking too pink on me and has not been sliding well on all foundations...a major disappointment, but that's another story. So I picked up this unpretentious blush by Sleek and I was really surprised. Sleek products are generally very pigmented, but I would say most of their matte eyeshadows come out a bit chalky. In terms of their blushes, most of the colours in the ange were far too unnatural for my liking, but this one seems to hit the spot - it looks very natural on my skin, glides very well on all foundations I've tried it with regardless of their undertone and finish and lasts pretty long (certainly comparably long to the MAC one). I like matte blushes and this one looks very natural, as if a person has really blushed. It also gives good contouring. I would recommend that especially to warm-toned people with yellow undertones of the skin or warm haircolour, as it complements very well those type of hues. Otherwise, I think it works well for any fair to medium skin colour. I use it with light brush, as it is indeed quite pigmented. And lastly, the packaging is very elegant, neat and compact. A real gem for that price!!!

This is a nice warm, tawny mocha with peachy undertones. I love that it's matte (I hate shimmery blushes because they always end up looking muddy on my oily skin). Next to my MAC Peaches, it's a shade darker and a bit more brown. I love MAC Peaches in the spring/summer but Suede is a better version for fall/winter, in my opinion, because it's a bit darker and less bright. I would definitely say that this is more peachy than pinkish, though.


The pigmentation is great on me- I've read other reviews online saying that they were disappointed because they found Suede to be too sheer. That wasn't the case for me- it went on just like a MAC blush. I only had to swirl the product lightly onto my brush and I got good color payoff.


Overall, this is a great addition to my collection. I got it in a swap but I saw it listed for under $10 on Ebay. Sleek blushes seem to be pretty hard to find in the US, so if you can find them, definitely grab as many as you can! The quality is great for the price.
