I like Nars powder blushes and they had a cream line that they discontinued . The multiple is so called the cream miracle product but for $40 it's too expensive and I have to re-apply a few times a day and I have to add my powder blush on top to set. Not worth it!!!

HG in the house. A beautiful pigmented soft coral that has the easiest, blendable texture, hard for me to come by with cream blushes since I am so heavy handed and have dry cheeks! On my NC30 Asian light tan complexion, a few taps with my ring finger directly on the stick then I tap the finger on my cheek leaves a noticeable (but still natural-esque), warm coral-pink. I can easily blend and smooth out soft edges and the color spreads evenly with my fingers. A true first for me with a cream blush. It also lasts a long time for me, at least 6 hours. It is now always in my bag. Super fan.

I love the color this gives me and it blends veryyy easily..which is almost a problem for me. It fades off my cheeks seriously within ten minutes. I'm glad I only got this in a swap but honestly I don't feel like its worth keeping. I can get the same color that's SO much more lasting in one of my drugstore blushes.

This goes a very dark pink on me, almost red, no matter how lightly I apply it.
It's too sticky and drying to work on lips, so this one really didn't work for me.

This is a lovely product. A little goes a long way and it has no irritating glitter. It is easy to blend and gives me a quick lift.

Recently inducted into my personal hall of fame. I'm NW15-20 and this blush is just the perfect shade of natural pinky rose for me. Blends easily either straight from the stick or with a stippler.mlooks wonderful no matter what kind of look I'm trying to achieve. My all-time favorite cream blush.

This is a light-medium pink-coral (but on the warmer side) with golden shimmer (barely noticeable). It looks darker in the tube and swatched, but goes on like a sheer wash of coral. It would be great for fair to medium skin that's neutral-warm.

It's pigmented so a little goes a long way and the tube will last for a long time. The texture is nice, waxy/creamy to powdery and it blends beautifully. The staying power is better than most powder blushes I've used, although I do reapply once a day when I have to blot shine.

However, I don't find this to be a multi-use product at all. On the eyes? No, this color doesn't make any sense there. On the lips? No, it isn't waxy/moisturizing enough and tends to feel like powder after a while. Also, the pigments don't spread evenly on the lips. Not a good look.

A good blush that appeals to my aesthetic; the packaging is beautiful, the fact that I need only fingers to apply is satisfyingly minimalistic and even though the price is steep seems like it will last forever.

Initially i thought this would be too dark, but sd you spread it out and blend it, it gets sheer and natural. It's not too pink or ruddy for my NC20/15 skin and goes will with yellow toned skin. I love to layer this with my Benefit Coralista.

This is a really gorgeous color, but I suggest sticking it to the cheeks. It looks super tacky on the eyes and I'm not sure if this has enough texture for lips. It doesn't go on the lips very well. But I love this. I bring use this for the day, and bring it with me during long school days just because it's so convenient. And I probably only use it once for the day (I use powder blush in the morning) because it's long-lasting. Great color, gives a great complexion as well, I just don't think it's worth $39.

This is a lovely coral shade with slight gold shimmer. Easy to apply and has a good wear time (I'm not oily though). You can dab straight from the tube or put a little on a brush, then blend in with your fingers. You get a very gorgeous, natural-but-still-bright-enough coral flush. Love cream blushes for the summer and multiples, though expensive, give you lots of product and you really don't need much. I'm NC15/20 and I love this shade!

I have this in the Portofino / Malibu duo and it's my fave peachy coral blush...it just brightens up my face somehow - NC35-40. Easy to travel with - tap it on and go!

I like the coral(peach) color. Even though the shimmer looks intimidating, it looks very natural on my NC-30 skin. The lasting powder is not as long and it fades mid-day. The only disappointment I have is that it caused my cheeks area to have some have kind of break outs. I tried it out for a week, and I would have new breakouts everyday. This has never happened with any other cream or powder blush.

I LOVE this cream blush. I have medium brown skin and its the perfect tone for me. I wear it everyday and am able to apply it lightly for going to work, or heavier application for going out at night. This really makes my complexion brighter and healthy looking. The consistency is perfect- doesn't dry out and it lasts forever! it is expensive but I've had mine for over a year and still have a couple months more use from it. Totally worth the cost. I bought one as a gift for my friend who has lighter skin (blond haired) and it works perfectly with her complexion as well. Highly recommend

I love this blush! I'm really pale, and for the longest time I refused to wear blush because I felt that blush was too strong for my face color, but I absolutely love this blush stick. It is pricey, but it's going to last me for a very long time. It's so easy too! I just dab a little on each cheek above the jaw bone, and blend in. I also have very acne prone skin, and this stuff doesn't make my skin break out!

I love this as a blush. It is really easy to apply and blend, plus buildable. I am NC25-30, this shows up to be a really pretty warm brick toned pink on me. Color lasts the whole day too!!

It took me a long time to try this multiple, but it very quickly became one of my favourite blushes. It is a slightly shimmery coral colour, which can be applied lightly as a highlighter or more heavily as a blush.

I am quite pale, MAC NW20 and it really suits me and brightens my face up. It is so pretty on. There is a little bit of trial and error involved, working out how much to apply, but it is very blendable. A little bit of powder or blusher in a similar shade will make it last longer. As a lipstick, make sure you wear balm underneath, it can be quite drying. A gloss on top makes it more comfortable as a lippie.

As you know, it is packaged in a big twist-up tube, like a lipstick on steroids. The black rubber gets tatty quite quickly, can't say I mind. Yes, it is pricey, but I doubt I'll ever use it up. If you wander past the NARS counter, ask the MA to try it on you and see what you think!

Love this!! This is a beautiful peachy color with golden shimmer. I mainly use this for cheeks, it's a little drying for lips and my eyes. If you are fair skin you might want to try another color..this tends to turn a little red on lighter skin. I actually use this with a little gloss and I'm done!

Great coral color if you have warm undertones and are fair or darker. Pale skinned people may want to stay away as this is a bright color! It is similar to orgasm but less sparkly and a little redder. It matches my skin as if I blushed or got a little sunburn so I can have some color but nothing that is unnatural. You do not need to use much and it works on lips too if you use a lip balm. Not sure I'd put it on the eyes...The price is fairly high though you get a good bit of product. Staying power is as expected for a cream blush and it will not last the day without reapplying even with powder. All in all a good product and color for daily wear.
EDIT--Dropped a point off overall rating. It does make me a little redder than I'd like. I do want to look healthy but maybe less towards the slightly sunburned side...

The color gives me a pinkish coral tone.

I love that it has multi-purpose uses. It's a stick that has a lot of functions and could pop it in your purse and you are ready to go. However, I do not recommend buying the color portifino, it's a really dark reddish pink which I do not like. It is quite expensive too but could last quite a long time.
