I have this in 10 Lichee. I am very familiar with Clarins skincare products, but I had never tried their make up. I decided to give it a try and I'm really happy I did. This blush is a no brainer. Blends well, looks so natural, stays on. Just love it. The color looks really boring in the pan, but wow on my face it does everything a blush should do: makes me look naturally flushed. For refference I'm an NW15/20. I normally gravitate towards blushes with sheen like Coralista and Deep Thr. I get compliments with those products all the time form people saying they love my blush. That means they are seeing blush. With this product I have had compliments from people saying I look good. That's the difference between a natural looking blush and a shimmery pop of color-type blush. Love both kinds as both are suited for different moods and occasions.

The best blush I have ever worn. I have them all from Nars to Dior to Chanel to the drugstore brands and never has a blush looked more natural or easy to blend on my tan complexion. I have this in Tender Apricot and I LOVE IT! Great colour, great texture, spreads easily and stays on for a long time. All my other blushes are going on my swap listing.

I have this product in Lycee and it is so pretty. It gives me the most natural of flushes. I put it on before I use any setting powder. This gives it a more natural look. I either use my clean fingers or a sponge to stiple it on.

I love Clarins skincare products and their delightful smells. Their makeup line, however, hasn't been very interesting to me. The blush I got appeared dried up (only had it for a month) and seems to have no color payoff at all. Very sad product.

Love, love, love this product. I have it in Apricot. It's a perfect match for my skin tone, although I think it adapts to your skin tone really, as it just melts into youtr skin and looks so natural - like a healthy flush of colour. It also lasts all day and it's so nice and compact to carry around in my makeup bag. I don't use it for eyes and lips, but I'm sure it would be just as good for those purposes.

Got this as part of a GWP but I cannot recall the shade name as it is a display tin. (Note: Giving out display makeup even if they're brand new is a bit tacky IMO.) I don't wear blush as a rule since my cheeks are always slightly pink so I can get away without wearing it. Still though for fun I tried this out and I do like it! Blends in extremely well and looks natural and without the dreaded shimmer. To top that off I found here on MUA it's a multiple! Won't use this on my eyes but as a lip product it is quite nice too. Very matte which I love. Might buy a compact of this and might not. If I ever do need a new blush for some reason then this will be the product I will buy. Also after reading some of the posts below if the compact does not have a mirror in it then I think that Clarins needs to redo the packaging and include one.

I'm a bit undecided about this one...I have it in Tender Mandarin. It has a nice texture and blends very well, but unlike most of the other reviewers here, I don't think the colour quite suits me. I'm a PPP with naturally flushed skin - I can't tell if it looks natural on me or if my flushed cheeks makes it completely redundant. Reluctantly, I think it might be the latter.

Overall, however, it'd be a good for someone with pale skin who either needs extra colour or wants to brighten their complexion, while keeping a natural look. The packaging is not terrific but bearable. I'd repurchase in a different shade.

Absolutely excellent product! Felt in love with it from the very first use, will definitely become a regular item in my makeup case.



It is a creamy product for multiple purpose (blush, eyes, lips). Finishes as an almost-powder blush, blends very easily (personally I find that fingers work better for it, rather than sponge or brush) and stays on literally ALL DAY. Adheres to the foundation, with or without setting powder on foundation, and does not fade colour, smudge or crease in time. On the lips it comes as a dry cream with a matte effect, absolutely fun-tastic to be used under a lipgloss - it makes it stay on longer and enhances the colour greatly. The product never broke me out or had any negative effects on my skin (I'm combination, sensitive skin).



The shade I use is 01-Douceur Litchi / Tender Lichee. It's a very natural warm shade with peach undertones, goes excellent with my very fair skin.

I bought this blush in tender apricot. It's cream to powder and thought it would dry out my dry cheeks, but it doesn't, it goes on very smooth, (I always moisturize first before putting on any make-up, even before putting on cream blushes). Anyway back to the color, for me it's perfect, what I wanted B.Brown's calypso coral to look like on me. It's a warm peachy-nude. Very natural, buidable, could wear it all year round, even with self-tan summer skin. I'm light-med. skin tone, blonde, blu-grn eyes. I'm already on my second one.

This is such a beautiful product! :) I recently purchased the shade 04 (tender mandarin) and couldn't be happier. The colour is a pale peachy pink which complements my fair/delicate colouring - it doesn't overwhelm at all. The texture is delightfully smooth and blends easily, and it lasts all day. I prefer these to my previous fave, stila's rouge pots. Looking forward to purchasing tender lychee next.

Got this in Tender Apricot, a nice peachy-nude blush. This is so blendable and dries to a powdery finish. It's kinda powdery on the lips, though. Best to apply it alone for a matte lip look (like the Bobbie Brown Clay lipstains). I layered with a lipbalm, and it didn't look nice though. I would compare it to NARS the multiple and 3C Color Specialists cream blush in terms of texture and finish. Only that Clarins has all these skin care benefits as well. I love Tender Apricot on the eyes and am likely to get the Tender Raspberry soon. Plus it's not that expensive. Love it.

EDIT: Just got Tendre Raspberry, which applies like a true pink on cheeks and lips so a little goes a long way. Great staying power. I've tested this on a hot day and the color stayed on. Love it.

LOVE THIS! I now have it in "Tender Mandarin" and "Tender Apricot." Both impart a completely natural glow with very little effort. Mandarin is a peachy pink, nice for spring & summer, and apricot is warmer. The texture has a nice powdery finish, making it very easy to blend, and the color is highly pigmented but can be applied as sparsely or as layered as you want. I've tried Stila's convertable color, which receives a lot of press, but I think this is a much nice product (especially in terms of consistency), even though it comes in less colors and somewhat less sturdy packaging.

excellent blush!!! its a creamy powder in texture.....i own 2 of these(tender lychee & tender chestnut).....i apply it with my fingers and it just gives me such a nice flush.....clarins is a very underrated brand and this is definitely a MUST HAVE item!!! this multi blush can be used for the eyes,cheeks and lips.....with some cream blushes, i experienced streaks but this one just melts to ur skin and it lasted the whole day for me. I apply this after foundation and b4 loose powder. You only need a tiny amount when u apply this on ur cheek, but if u want a more dramatic look, it is buildable..for reference,im C5/C40

Eh? I had this in Tender Lychee, it was a very pretty color but it didn't last and it smelled funky rather quickly.

I have it in Tender Raspberry which is a very good shade if you want too add some color into your cheeks. I'm blond with a fair skin but this shade is not too "shocking" for me. Actually, it is quite transparent and really easy to blend and when I put some loose powder above it gives me just a radiant, healthy color "within". Anyway, it is not something very special or something I would repurchase. I'd like to try similar Shiseido cream blush. 3-4 lippies. UPDATE: I'm not sure about this blush. It has not a lot of staying power. I would not repurchase. 3 lippies.

I got it first in tender lychee and quickly passed it on when a tender raspberry loomed on the shop counters.
This is MY colour - vivid pink mimes exactly a natural flush on my cheeks I get from running.
I love blushes but this is my first creme one: I had a liquid ones of Lancome and Nivea and also powdery ones from L'Oreal and Benefit but this one is so far the best. It does not give me spots like Benefit did, does not disappear quickly from my face 2 hours after application like Nivea and L'Oreal and is much easier to apply then Lancome's one.
I just whipe a cotton pad on it and rub the apples of my cheeks with it. Then I throw a LRP filter on it and after a gentle pat with (Clarins too) loose powder my mu is done :) Looks lovely all day long!
I am sure it is going to survive 36 months of use and then I hope that this shade is still available as I am going to buy a next one for sure, irrespective of price.

I have this is Tender Raspberry, which is a creamy, non shimmery, hot pink. I think it's a good bright colour that is really best for dark haired girls (very striking contrast of dark hair and pink cheeks- think Liv Tyler), I can't imagine this working well for blondes/redheads (in the promo pic they've used a pale black haired girl) though you can adapt the intensity it is very pigmented and gives me a "dolly cheeked" look, which I like, as I've black hair and medium warm skin. However, I would never put this on my eyes or lips - it would look frightful ( my lips are very pigmented) . I don't think this is a staple, go-with-anything kind of blush and might not work after I dye my hair red, which I intend to do quite soon. I'd say this applies much more intensely than MAC's Pink Swoon, or Paula Dorf's Cha Cha- which are perhaps more universally flattering. Staying power is not bad- several hours on my super oily skin. Packaging is functional but a bit ugly- a built in mirror would have been a nice touch.

I had this in both apricot (great peachy color) and tender lycee (Brown color). These are cream blushes that have rave reviews and retail for $25. Applied, they looked very natural and glowing from within (as with most cream blushes). Unfortuanately, like most cream blushes, this lasted only about an hour on me.

This is the best cream blush formulation that I have used, and for that reason, I wish they would bring out a squillion colours!! The lightest touch really lifts your face, although if you're anything like me, you love the effect so much you just have to overapply :-P !
The 'tender walnut' - never thought i would get this shade - but the effect is fantastic, voila! natural country girl. not a drab brown by any means, this actually can have some use as a multi!
converted me to cream blush, but at this stage, i'm like: 'accept no substitutes!' :P
