I love this blush! I use it daily and the name is perfect. It gives me the perfect pinkish flushed glow for the day. It' color looks extreme in the packaging but once you apply it, it looks so natural. It illuminates my face so well and gives it the perfect bubblegum- but natural looking color across my cheeks. Besides the price, this is my favorite blush!

I wish there was a category w/in "Would you buy this product again" where I could select "H*LL YES!". Best blush I have ever used. To avoid over-application, I swipe the brush once per side, shake, and apply *upwards* over cheekbone (one side of brush per cheek). Looks natural outdoors which is pretty much a miracle.

This is quite an expensive product and I am not sure if it lives up to the claim that it adapts to the skin tone. I have been using this product for a few months now, and since I have quite fair skin during the winter, the blush appears as pink when applied. What I do like about the product is that you do not need a lot of product. Only one brush stroke on the blusher is quite enough for one cheek.
I do not have anything to complain about the product, but I am just unsure if it is worth the high price. Maybe I will see during the summer when I get more tanned skin, whether the blush really adapts to the skin or not.

I never really believe in products that claim to adapt to your skin giving everyone a different shade, but decided to splurge on this after reading great things about it and seeing countless people use it, since it's not cheap at all.
I LOVE IT. Whenever I don't know what blush to wear, or if I'm having a bleh day, I put this on and it just transforms my face. I have a few blushes that do that to my skin because who doesn't like a quick pick me up? I just feels like it goes with a lot of different looks, and you can be subtle or build it up as much a you want it. I don't think I'll repurchase it because it's quite expensive, but I'm really enjoying using it.

Plus, the packaging is stunning, and it has a huge mirror.

This is a lovely, natural pink blush that when applied to your cheeks adapts to your own skin color. It definately lives up to its claims. When applied to mine, it gives me a perfect pink flush, like I've just gone for a brisk walk on a cool, winters day. However, my problem is its longevity. Within two hours its faded to nothing! That being said, the color is so lovely, I don't mind having to reapply it.

Doesn't live up its looks

So I got this product as a gift... Opened the compact and saw this really bright pink colour beaming up at me. Needless to say I was skeptical. So I applied a small amount at first and it really doesn't go on heavy leaving a big pink splotch which is good! The colour also is a lot more natural than what you expect which again is good. However I think this is where the good bits end. Like other reviewers I have to reapply a lot which isn't great, I buy for longevity which this product doesn't offer. I know some people only wear blusher sparingly but If this is then case I can't imagine using it at all because it doesn't last no matter how much you put on.

This is just lovely. The very pink shade is deceptively light and very buildable, and mimics my natural flush perfectly. It's like my own skin, but way better.

i have read countless reviews, and watched tutorials featuring this. i've been wanting it for months, and finally splurged on it. it's $44 so it's NOT cheap. i was sad to find out it's the biggest disappointment EVER.

this doesn't even last 30 minutes on me. it fades quickly, and i guess with the "awakening" technology, it also fades my foundation off, revealing my acne scarring. ironic? i hate reapplying blush but i had to reapply every 30 minutes! my mac blushes last all day, and this dior is double the price. i had to return it, it was beautiful to look at and have in my stash but if it can't even last on my face what's the point? for $44, it was a complete waste so i had to return it. i felt bad, and sad because i've been wanting it for so long, and when i got it i was the happiest girl in the world. i've tried applying it with different blush brushes, even the little brush that comes with it, and setting it with transulent powder, but nothing worked.

the texture of this is very smooth, finely milled. on the powder, it says "dior" repeated all over it. it comes with a tiny brush that is cute but i don't think you can call it a blush brush. the packaging is so amazing. the front is a mirror that says "dior", and the back is see through, which all the sticker with all the details of the blush.

oh and this did not change color on me. although it is a beautiful flattering pale baby pink, i couldn't really enjoy it because, well, it didn't last.

I love this blush. It looks natural and doesn't draw attention to hyperpigmentation on my cheeks from sun damage. In the past I never wore blushes because they usually broke me out or looked too made-up. More recently, I discovered that blushes I was trying tended to darken (or rather bring back out) the hyperpigmentation that I'd managed to camouflage with foundation and powder. Totally not what I want.

This blush is the only one that I've tried that seems to look natural and doesn't bring back the dark spots I've gone through the trouble to hide. It is quite pricey but actually you get 7.5 grams which is often twice the amount you get from Stila or some other brands and then it ends up costing almost the same for the amount you get.

This is a beautiful soft pink blush that looks great on all skintones. I usually wear peachy/coral blush shades but I do love the way this looks and how it goes with any lip color! Gives a beautiful healthy glow to the cheeks!

I love this. Having reached my 50s I'm discovering that fresh faced dewy look make up is what I need, the kind of make up that looks natural and sheer.
I've stopped using strong dark colours and am going for a healthy flush on the cheeks, neat brows and just- bitten lips.
This blush is perfect - one sweep of colour givers a subtle rosy glow that lasts for hours, or you can layer it on for a more healthy flushed look. Looks great with Dior addict rosy lip glow and lip maximiser..

My new favorite blush. It looks a little scary but it goes on lightly and gives my fair skin a nice flush. It's also the only blush I've tried that lasts all day. The packaging is fancy and of course it's expensive but worth it.

WOW! This is the best blush I've ever used. It is a bit intimdating when you first look at it because of the bright pink color, but it is awesome. It's a very flattering, and it has become my everyday blush...long lasting too! I would reccomend this to anyone who asked about it!

This blush is a tad on the expensive side - but it is well worth the price! You only have to use very little and it really does add a glow that seems to come from within the skin itself. I would caution using it sparingly at first and allow the color to come through for a minute, as it seems to "pink" up your cheeks over a few seconds, and you can easily overdo it if you have a fair/light complexion. However, if you are "light handed" with it, it adds a luminous flush that is just great and really perks up your face.

I would definitely purchase this blush again, and unless I'm wanting a more neutral or muted look, this is pretty much the only blush I use anymore.

Often I have bought a product because of the good reviews but end up disappointed... this is not the case! It gave me the most natural and healthy look of all the blushes I've ever used. I'm the type of girl that wear makeup for 16/14 h a day and therefore want something that last the whole day looking fresh and not needing reapplication. This is one of those products - it's amazing...! The most long-wearing blush I've worn till now has been Tarte's Exposed, but my sensitive acne-prone skin apparently didn't appreciate the clay. I thought that, probably, I will never find a powder product that will have enough lasting power for me and not ruin my skin - I will have to use some kind of stain... and then I found these reviews.
.
Some general thoughts and additions:
My skin is light (NC15-20), olive-toned, dry and sensitive. I think this blush compliments my skin tone beautifully - I agree with those recommending it for skin with a yellow undertone - it looks absolutely gorgeous and natural on.
This has tiny shimmers in the pan, but it's definitely not shimmery on my skin. I actually really hate sparkly products as they seem too childish for me. I think sparkly face belongs at a party and not at university. Too me shimmer makes makeup too obvious and I go for the natural look. Basically: to me shimmer/glitter in face makeup is a big no-no, but this adds a glow without being shimmery.
Some reviews said this looked powdery at first - I didn't experience that although I have dry skin. I do apply it over BB cream though, and it may be because of that that it doesn't at any point look dry. BB cream is also a great primer for me, which probably prolongs the wear time of this.
Some people said the colour of this develops over time. It hasn't really happened to me, but apply a little of this with my MAC blush brush, little by little going back and forth between my cheeks. This takes no time really and, I guess, prevents me from putting on too much.
I think the package is pretty and the brush is probably good quality, but I prefer another one for application. I wish there could be an alternative box for this that was smaller.
Although this is a bit pricey, this is a good investment because you get quite a big amount of product and you only need a little every time you use this. UPDATE: have used this every day for about 8 months now and I hen't even used up the pattern on this - I think this could last me for at least 10 years! X)
I think this is a perfect product for everyday use.
Although this is an expensive product, the price it totally worth it for me as this has all of the qualities I look for in an everyday blush :)

i am a dior girl, so of course this was the product to break my no buy. it was LE! and gorgeous! and it's kind of like the glow reviver lip balm in blush form. i have nc40 olive skin, that is dehydrated and acne prone. since my skin tone is darker, i usually do two swipes of this product because i do need a bit more colour than those who are fairer. it shows as a beautiful natural pink and it looks like it's my own cheeks, not makeup. it does not look artificial at all. i am very glad i got this. i am surprised too that the blush that comes with it does a decent job, though i prefer my own blush brush for application. don't hesitate - this is a fantastic blush, and i write this as the owner of every single nars blush ever made, as well as 3 palettes of mac blushes (i depot)...so yeah, i have a lot, and yet this was worth getting.

My favorite blush in the whole world was taken off the shelves. I went into sephora the other day, utterly depressed. Though I have six left (I bought them on e-bay when i heard the bad news), I had practically stopped wearing makeup for months, wanting to conserve what little I had left of it.

My boyfriend told me it was time to move on, and as I was practically crying to the makeup artist there, she spent alot of time trying to match it and then said "WAIT! I have the perfect thing." At first, I was horrified when she showed me the Dior Rosy Glow blush. I literally thought she needed to be fired if she thought I was putting a hot pink blush on my face, and it also reiterated why I dont like to talk to makeup girls at sephora, as I usually feel they don't know what they are talking about.

BUT THEN, she put it on and I literally fell in love with this blush. It's absolutely amazing, it contours to your own skin tone and is utter perfection. If you dont like peachy blushes (like me) then this is your blush. It literally does "awaken your skin." Yes, it is pricey, but I've been searchign for a new blush for months and I will never switch again!!

The brush it comes with is small, and will maybe play with using different brushes with it. PERFECTION

This has become my favourite blush! Seems to work with whatever look I am going for. Use it sparingly though - easier to build up than put too much on to begin with (and end up bright pink!)

Yes its expensive for a blush, but its a great product that lasts for ages!

I was initially very unsure about this product. In the pan it's an extremely arresting bright, cool pink that I doubted would be suitable for my skin, which has strong yellow undertones. I normally gravitate towards peachy blushes, so this color was a major departure. I'm so glad that I decided to purchase this product. It's extremely expensive, yes. However, the color imparts a gorgeous pinky glow. It really brightens my skin. I would recommend using a light hand in application, particularly if you are very fair. WIth that said, I think this blush would be most flattering on those with fairer skin tones. Since it is so pigmented, it's difficult to wear with orange/coral/ lip tones as they tend to clash with the true pink shade of the blush. This blush claims to adjust to the wearer's skin tone. I cannot attest to this, but I think that the blue tones are unexpectedly flattering and are much less pronounced on the skin than in the pan. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous. It's a fairly substantial plastic silvery compact with a translucent pan on the bottom. The product is embossed with tiny Dior branding symbols and there is a small brush included. The brush works reasonably well, but you'll get better results with a more traditional round blush brush. It comes with a black, faux-velvet pouch, which protects the case and is ideal for travel. One of my favorite features of this blush is the rose scent that can be detected only initially on application. It's not overpowering, nor is it sickly sweet. It smells --and this may sound cheesy-- exactly like my grandmother's rose bushes. The scent doesn't linger, but it makes the initial application very pleasant and adds a bit of luxury.

Rosy Glow by Dior is a cool-toned bright pink in the pan, but looks like a baby pink on my cheeks when first applied. Then 5 minutes later it turns into a natural glowy flush. It is really easy to apply too much of blush st first because it is such a light powder pink, and if you apply too much, it really can look overdone, as this adjusts to your skintone. This blush has the Dior logo monogramed on the surface of the blush, and I think that is really pretty and adds to the charm of this product. I really love this blush, and if I lost it, I would definalty repurchase.
