I have lots of different blushes from different labels but this is one of my favorites. This blush has a beautiful brownish-pinkish color (the name "Sienne" describes it perfectly) with just a tad of shimmering. Not too much, just enough to give you a healthy glow. The color fits my olive skin and dark brown eyes perfectly. Only one tiny problem other reviewers also noticed: the brush that comes with the blush is totally useless, but other than that, get out there and buy this blush! :)

I bought a couple of Bourjois products during my trip to Hong Kong a few months ago and this was one of my favorites from the haul. I've heard a lot of good reviews on their blushes but this color is just amazing apart from the smooth ans silky texture. It's the perfect neutral blush I could wear with anything and because I'm fair, I can go and apply this blush on the sides of my cheeks and get away with not contouring and at the same times this will look great with contour or bronzer. I wish they could sell this near where I live. I really want to try more from this range.

I recieved this a birthday gift a few years ago. It is a shade I wouldn't normally buy but it's just perfect for my olive/tan skintone. It lasts ages as well. It's like bronzer but warmer with a redish tone (like a blush). The brush it comes with is pretty decent too.The only problem is that the blush has fallen out and depotted itself. This happened twice with each new one. It wasn't messy tho and i just wiped it and put it back. Despite this I love it.

Tossed the brush, found it useless, the blush itself is lovely on my NW15 (think im almost at an NW20 this summer - go me!) this looks really nice on, not too brown, plum or red just a nice mix of each with a satin finish. I bought this at Priceline in Sydney for AUD20 so not overly cheap but well priced for the quality. I find this very similar to Benefit Dallas except Dallas is much more shimmery. I'd buy again if I ever ran out

'Sienne' is a lovely colour! It's perfect if you want to go on the neutral/nude route and is a nice terracotta shade with a satin finish. I like that it isn't matte, nor is it super shimmery like some of the other Bourjois blushes. I'm about NC30, and I have to layer this a few times for the colour to show up. However, I prefer a subtler approach to my blush/bronzer so this is good for me. Very wearable for daytime and would suit light to medium skintones.

This colour is absolutely lovely on my fair skin. I call it my "nude" blush, because it gives me a healthy flush without being too obvious. For a strange reason, although I have somewhat flushed cheeks it doesn't clash with my natural colour.
The packaging is pretty good, I like that it is not huge (such a waste of space) and the clasp seems to be safe. I have a ruined clasp on a Bourjois eye shadow, though, so I'll change the rating if I have to.
The formula is good, it applies easily, blends well and really stays on through the day.
The perfume can be annoying, although I do not seem to smell it after a little while.
I have only one major problem: it breaks me out... badly. I had flawless skin, and now after little more than two weeks of use and a series of acne in both my blush lines it hit me! I do not know what it is inside, but it causes me this trouble. Such a pity!

EDIT 27/12/2011: Well, I decided to give my 2 Bourjois bluses another go and as I expected from the reviews they have hardened and I could not pick up any colour. When I scrathed away the surface and could use them again, I did not experience any breakouts! How lovely! I cannot explain this. So I give 1 lippie back because the breaking out is no longer an issue, but I remove one because it is such a pain - it requires scrathing away quite often.

I got this from a fellow MUAer from a swap. I love this blush! I i'm currently aiming for "the nude" look with just a touch of blush and very, very light lipstick and this is the perfect blush for it! The shade is more on the brownish plummy side and it's perfect for my NC30 skin!

Also, this blush smells good. It smells powdery and very silky when applied onto your face. It didn't give me any break out at all. Also, it is very light wearing, feels like you're wearing nothing at all. I will definitely purchase another Bourjois Powder Blush in the near future!


P.S.
Not to mention, their powder blushes are a great deal! They're only HKD 99 each here in Hong Kong! :)

For me, this is more of a shading colour and it works beautifully. It has the usual rosy scent of Bourjois blushes. It takes some effort to take the pigment out, but it's worth it!

This blush had been sitting in my drawer for a long long time. I tried it once when i first got it with MAC 187 brush and didn't like it. When I was putting on my makeup yesterday, I suddenly decided to give this another try. I used Stila's #1 brush instead, and it's like the perfect contour shade for me! I just applied it at where i would normally apply blush, and my face suddenly seems to have more dimension! This blush is not super pigmented and needs to be layered to get the color to show. I'm a NC 15 and I need to layer it twice to get the look i want. But I like my blush to be a little more noticeable. I was going to swap this away, but i'm glad that i gave it a second chance. It's also quite cheap compared to other brands. Overall, a very nice blush!

I bought this because I once tried my best friend's Chanel blush in a warm brownish shade which I loved. Knowing that Bourjois was created by Chanel and having read somewhere that the quality of their blushes are very similar, I decided to get the blush in Sienne, a warm, brownish pink shade that looks good even on my relatively fair skin! I use my Shu Uemura brush and not that little curved brush that comes with it. The full-size Shu brush gives me much more control and I'm less likely to use too much product because Bourjois blushes are highly pigmented and you only need very little of it! As with other Bourjois blushes, it has a fine shimmer in it that isn't too noticeable but enough to give a healthy glow. As much as I like the cute packaging, it breaks easily (I had one before and the hinge loosed and the whole compact sort of fell apart!!) so I'll have to be very careful with it! Other than that no complaints..... Great product at a very affordable price!

Adorable cute little pot blusher. Alas this is too highly scented for my sensitive skin. I also found this blush difficult to blend as it is very pigmented. An unflattering tawny colour for my fair skin.

this is definitely a very pretty color, can be layered well, and has a very fine shimmer as with all bourjois powders. is a very dusty pink base with medium darkness. looks good on me, but only with a light hand (i'm pale); i'm sure this would look great on more tanned skin. i took 1 point off for packaging.. the size is very small (think eyeshadow size), so it's difficult to pick up with a blush brush. there's a mirror inside the lid, and i have to be very careful with the lid because it's on a flimsy hinge that could easily be broken. i think this retails for about $13-14, but i bought mine off ebay for much less.

One of the best blushes I have ever used - I love this shade when I am back from holiday and i am little more tanned than usual. I do not use the brush it comes with because I find that it leaves streakes, however the packaging is great - I love the fact that it is compact and that it has a mirror inside. Would definitely repurhcase and I would like to try other shades as I rate Bourjois very highly amongst the drugstore ranges!

I dont seem to find luckiness with many of these blushes. This is a nice tan shade but it comes on too peachy for my skin. It is not too dark but just too peachy. I need something more rosey. It has a nice pigment and good staying powder though. Will not repurchase.

A really nice shade, would probably look better on more tanned skin girls than me though. I didn't really like the brush it came with, but the blush itself blended well and stayed on. Sadly, I lost this on a night out but will buy again.

I´ve been buying Bourjois for the last 13 years and I really love those cute little cases the eyeshadows and blushers come in. I also like the fact that the cases have the same color as the blusher and that they come with a little brush and mirror inside (although the brush puts your blush on to streaky). I even like the sweet rosy smell which a lot of people are put off by...
Sienne # 85 is a matte warm earthy pink/brown/brick color that gives a pretty natural flushed look and looks great when you have a bit of a tan or a darker skintone. Sienne is also pretty high in pigment, so you only need a little bit. I have a million blushers, but I always go back to this one, especially if I want that "just-been-on-vacation" look...

This is one of my all-time favorite blushes! It is a powder blush that comes with a great curved brush. The brush curves perfectly around the apples of my cheeks, so I get a natural glowing look. This stuff is a nice earthy peach-light brown color - great on pale to medium warm-toned skin.
