Think I have found my HG blush! Finally! I hope. It is a non-descript nude. Sort of tan-peach-rose-something. Very blendable, buildable, natural, not clownish. Nice finish. Not so great packaging. Why can't they do a nice circular blush instead of that stupid rectangle??!! You can't get a big brush in there properly. But this color makes my complexion look clearer, and creamier. No more clown cheeks. I still like Honey Blush as well, but save that for spring/summer.

i LOVE this blush! this was the first blush i ever used (since i was 18 years old) and at 25 years old, i'm still using it! i've "tested" other blushes or swatched them, but this is my only purchase because its such a solid investment. i have a medium skintone (NC30) and I'm asian. this blush is perfect since i like the "natural" look. its not too rosy and can help contour too since the shade is so natural. it just gives a beautiful glow and immediately brightens up my face. it comes off kinda sheer to start, but i love that because it's really buildable. i dont like how alot of blushes, you have one swipe of the brush and its like somebody put a big red/pink stamp on your face. this is maybe my most valuable, must-have MU product (even more than foundation or concealer!). i don't have many blemishes.. so this is really all i need to make me look fresh, glowing and awake. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This was my first blush, and a good choice. It looks brown but goes on as a neutral, slightly peachy shade that is natural-looking and never overpowering. The texture is good and it blends very well. However, it has very little pigmentation, which makes subtlety easy but leaves little other options. It's also overpriced - not a fan.

I have purchased many of these over the years. I buy other blushes, and switch around, but this is my most used, and the only blush I have purchased more than once. I am fair, with yellowish undertones. This color is a peachy-pinky-brown color, very easy to wear. I think people with either warm or cool tones could wear this, it's pretty neutral. It goes on very smoothly, blends amazingly well, never looks too "blushy", like fake or anything. It is quite hard pressed, so a compact of it lasts a long, long time. As far as how long it lasts on my face, it does fade during the day, so that is why I only give it four lippies. I wish it stayed on a little longer. But all in all, it is my favorite blush, and I will continue to repurchase it, even though I will still be on the lookout for that perfect blush.

Also, this is the only blush that makes people comment on a "healthy glow". They aren't quite sure what it is, but I always tell them it's the blush.

I love this color blush! Very natural! Stays on all day! Has a slight peach color to it, which is very natural. I love that it lasts all day. I have tried NYC plum and it wears off within 2 hours.

Just bought this one after using Totally Tawney for YEARS! Went in to pick up yet another one, but decided to be bold and try this one instead. It has the same muted brown/tan base with subtle shimmer, but instead of the pink (as in Totally Tawney) undertones, it's peach! I really like it - much better actually than I thought I would. I have found that pink-based products tend to make my face look red, whereas peach gives a smooth peaches-n-cream look. I am a changed woman!

Surprisingly happy with this. Went in looking for a peach - the MA put on the sheer cheeky peach, but was way too dark (and she had no idea how to apply blush... but that's another thing).. I stole the brush from her, looked at the other choices, threw some of this on, bought it in an instant, and walked out a happy customer.

Shows up a bit more tan-colored with a hint of peach and very subtle shimmer. I'm not a fan of obvious blush, so this is great for everyday wear.

Now if they would only change the ugly green container...

I love the sheernes of these blushes and they do not feel dry on my skin at all but this color was wrong choise for my PPP skin. Chestnut is brown and looks very peachy on my skin. Very unnatural for my skintone.
