I really love the color of this blush!!! It's sort of a dusty peach, and a little rusty. It looks really nice on my olive skin tone. Also, it seems to last forever. I spilled the container once since I dropped it, and the product is still not even half way gone, and I've had it for several months!!!! I really like this blush, and it looks great with green and purple shadows. I will definitely repurchase this blush, if it runs out. :)

This blush is perfect for my complexion and I find that it complements most of what I wear. You get tons of product. I'm still using the same pot I bought nearly two years ago, and I till have lots left! Great value, great product.

The color is slightly too brown and warm for my skintone - I wanted a more true pink shade. I'm a MAC NC30-35 with yellow undertones for reference. Lasting power isn't that great either, it fades within roughly 3-4 hours. As with all BareMinerals products I hate the packaging because it always ends up getting all over the place and it's hard to regulate how much product you're going to use. The nice thing is that it didn't make me break out unlike MAC or Benefit blushes.
UPDATE: I'm taking off another lippie. I gave this blush one last shot today and i have now decided it's totally going into the 'makeup i will never use again' pile. It turns orangey/reddish on me after a few hours of application.

I love this color! I've been using this for at least a year and I've just repurchased. The color is natural and subtle for my complexion. I have very light skin and blushes that are too pink look very fake on me. This is a dark peach color and it's perfect for me.

In the past, other blushes, mostly creams, have made me break out. this has never caused any problems for me.

I have gotten bitten by the bareMinerals bug LOL - these products are great, but need practice. I have always been a liquid fndt girl but only after the tan fads. I could never find the right shade and never indulged in HE products like MAC. I have found that its hard to figure out how 'little' to use to get the right highlight. I do like this color because I have always went away from pinky blushes. I have been tapping out just a little bit into the cap and then only using have of it into the blush brush so I can slowly build up to the right color.




Its working out great now with the new technique. I love using a powder/mineral fndt and then blush because it blends together so seamlessly. Finally adding mineral veil to get that airbrushed/finished look. Will try other blushes just to make sure there isnt a perfect shade out there waiting for me.

I love this blush! I wear med beige foundation (with a little med. tan mixed in during the summer) and this blush gives me such a natural glow. I tried several BE blushes but I always end up comparing them to how dusk makes me look. I bought an eyeshadow size to try it out and I recently bought 2 more as backup.

Well, I got sucked in by a Sephora SA, when I showed her a picture of Keira Knightley's eyeshadow. She pointed me to BE Dusk as an eyeshadow. I don't love it. I used it as blush also, and even though I applied it lightly, the color always looks somehow off. So I will not repurchase. Cargo Sunset Beach is superior to this product if you're looking for a natural, subtle blush. I like all of the other BE products I own, but this was a disappointment. Moral of the story: Never, ever trust Sephora SA's.

I was surprised when the saleperson at Ulta recommended this shade since I have pretty fair skin, but it does go on sheer & looks nice. It is a bit messy & you're in big trouble if you get too much on because it is so concentrated. I wish the container was slightly larger because it would be easier to fit the brush into & might help distribute the powder on the brush more evenly. It lasts forever, I've had mine since January & still have over half left.

As with all BE colors, great value for your money since you use so little. A true dusky peach on my pale skin. Good when paired with brown or green shadows on the eyes.

like this color, also like the ease of use. You do have to be careful not to apply to much. That whole 'tap and swirl thing'. I would get it again if I ever ran out, lasts like forever.

So I learned about the "thumb" test for choosing your blush color, where you pinch the surface of your thumb and the color it turns is the best color for you? And when I did it in Sephora, my thumb color exactly matched the BE dusk. If you like (I do) the loose mineral products, then BE blushes are very good, and this color, a soft brown-rose, is flattering to someone of my coloring - fairly pale skin, hazel/green eyes and very dark hair.

Dusk is a nice warm peach color. Looks dark in the container, but is pretty sheer. Bare Escentuals is messy because its a loose product, but if you can get beyond that, you will find that Dusk is a nice wear everyday color. For reference, I am GGG, NC45.

Well this is my first BE product, and as I expected, I find the loose powder frustratingly messy. I got way more on my counter than on my face and I was really careful, darn it! However, I do like it on my face. It's a deep, brownish peach color, which is very flattering for my warm complexion. It really blended easily too; I usually don't like powder blushes because they can look "powdery," like they're just sitting on top of my skin, but this looked smooth and natural, like a cream blush. Really, it's a top quality product. This looks great in bright daylight, but the downside (other than the messiness) is that, like most matte brown blushes, it makes my face look dirty in low light, like a shady room. That's why I said I wouldn't repurchase; I don't want to have to touch up my blush for nighttime, and I really don't want to have to wash my face and start over! I would, however, be happy to try a different shade of this product.

i am a 2.3 foundation, warm skinned gal and this blush is pretty good. i like most be products and this is no execption. it really gives a nice glow to my skin. i would describe the color as a dark warm peach with hints of brown. i doubt i will run out because a little goes a long way, but if i do i will buy again.

Although this looks like a very dark tawy color, it goes on as a nude pink with a warm undertone. Looks very similar to MAC's Prism or Cubic. A must have for "natural" days!

Don't be scared by the online swatches - totally deceiving. I picked this up on a whim along with my new BE foundation. Gorgeous peach-beige shade. Looks natural but brightens up the face. No shimmer (which I prefer) and very smooth application. Good pigmentation and lasts for a while, even on my oily skin. I'm impressed.

Update: I have switched to Aromaleigh minerals, which works much better with my skin. Bare Escentuals is too shiny for me, caused breakouts, and didn't match/work with my skintone.

Old Review: This is a great medium peach without any shimmer. Like all BE blushes, the colors are very versatile and can create a soft or intense look. They are a little pricey, but will last forever! I love this entire line, maybe I should buy stock.
