Price:
I bought this on clearance for only $5 CAD!
So i'm biased because i would not have purchased it had it not been that cheap. I rated it a 3 basing on the regular price of $32 CAD regularly. Yes it's pricey but this has more product than Nars and is just as pigmented. Hence a rating of 3. $/mg is better than Mac and Nars.

Packaging Quality - metal tin. Quite sturdy. However, annoying cuz you can't see the product until you open it. Rating of 4. It would be nice if there is a clear top and hinge.

Buy again: Yes! it's a beautiful brown mauve PERFECT for sculpted cheeks and you don't need a bronzer after. I have light/medium skintone and the mauve adds to a different dimension. I am used to using Nars Madly but Madly is more of a dusty brown rose while Prague is a dusty brown mauve.

Overall good product!

I love Cargo blushes and have several. The quality and texture are just outstanding. Prague is a very soft, muted beige-brown with a plum tone. It's a very unique color and difficult to describe. This matte blush is probably best on fair and light skin tones. I don't know if I would purchase this color again, as it's a little too brown for my taste. It does make a good base color though - I put it all over the cheek area and then add a brighter pop of color on the apples of my cheeks. The lasting power is good and the big pans make it easy to get an even distribution of color on your brush. I love the tins because they're not plastic. Some have said they have difficulty with the lids. I don't store my makeup in the bathroom, so I wonder if that accounts for my not having this problem.

Unfortunately, this did not work for me. I was looking for a blush that could replace my Miel Glace from Lancome, because it's $30 and I go through it in 6 months. I saw Prague's positive reviews and it looked like it would be a great dupe with almost twice the product at a similar price. In Sephora's lighting it looked like a nice neutral, bronze-rose, but in natural lighting it looks red on me, almost terracotta. I'm very careful not to over apply, but no matter what, it looks red. I gave it two lippies because the quality is superb.

I'm a fairly pale person - not paper white though (I wear #20 in mufe matte velvet) And Prague looks wonderful on my skin. It's just the right shade that compliments my skin tone. It's neutral enough that I can wear any shade of eyeshadow with it.
I have naturally rosey cheeks and this blush doesn't clash with them at all like some other more pink toned blushes do. It's very natural looking.
Not to mention the tin has a ton of color in it! It's very pigmented so a little goes a long way.

Another beautiful colour of the Cargo range. A matt beige-brown blush with a rosy-plummy hint in it. For me it works perfectly as a bronzer, as I tend to look muddy and dull with every other conventional bronzer, even with Benefit Dallas that is almost the same color like Prague but has a somehow perlescent consistency that doesnt't flatter my combo skin. This one gives me in winter a nice healthy glow when applied with a pink blush on the top (Catalina) and in summer, with tanned skin, it deepens and accentuate my tan and unify my complexion. But it is really really hard to find. I’m afraid that it has been discontinued and I don’t know how I could replace it.

The blush is perfection! It's a great winter blush because it has little to no shimmer and gives the nicest flush to your skin. The texture is very soft and silky. It should be used with a light hand due to how pigmented it is. Overall, a really great blush and I love it.

Although the packaging is cute, I find it a tad inconvenient.

I love this blush. On the expensive, but I got it half off. This is a lovely everyday color for me and goes on very smooth. Ton of product.

The perfect mauve/rose that gives a believable natural flush of color that makes skin glow with health and sensuality. Great color for brides as it photographs stunningly beautiful and lasts and lasts. I think this color is universally flattering but must be used sparingly or blended rather well on fairer complexions. I'm a PPP and wear this in the evening and favor Tonga for day. Minimal liklihood of disappointment.

Pros: Whatever it is that NARS Orgasm tries to be, Cargo's Prague is. For me, anyway. Soft, natural, sweet rosy color.

Cons: Um, none. Just don't have a heavy hand! Never have a heavy hand!

If someone were to make a movie about my life and the actress playing me had to shoot a scene where she woke up in bed, I'd be all, "SHE MUST HAVE CARGO PRAGUE BLUSH ON IN THIS SCENE!" Like that.

Love this blush for my NW20 complexion. Very lovely, natural flush for me. Highly pigmented, soft, easy to blend. I am very pleased with Cargo powder products.

I love this blush! Big tin, highly pigmented & easy to blend & layer. Personally I would only use this shade at night (I am pale) but it's the perfect deep rose pink. Will definitely re-purchase in other colours. I'm in Australia so it was $40 which was a lot, but I think it was worth it!

I love this blush. The texture of Cargo blushes is exquisite, and Prague is no exception. It goes on sheer and layers beautifully, without ever looking powdery. The color itself is lovely on my MMM NC30 complexion, although it seems pretty versatile and would probably look good on a variety of skin tones. And, unlike other reviewers, I love the adorable tin packaging. It holds a ton of product, and the wide surfact area makes for a more even, smooth application. Prague is a sheer plum with some brown it it. I wear it with both nude and plum l/s, both warm and cool. Love it!

This color is beautiful on me.. I had to try several at Sephora before I found something that would work with my coloring. I am yellow toned latina and I have lots of issues finding good blush color. The texture of the blush is devine, very easily swept up by a blush brush. The case is great, very wide for lots of swirl space, will last forever! Good staying power, I top off with a mineral set. This has been the only color I have been grabbing up lately.

Very neutral but gorgeous look. I just don't reach for it that often. Love the huge tin for swirling your brush. I don't have issues getting the cap off. RIS from a lovely MUA'er. Plum/brown undertones, dusty rose/plum on top. Don't know if I'd buy again as this will last me forever but I'll put that I will.

Prague is a matte dusty rose shade, very wearable and a great neutral. Like all Cargo blushes I have tried, this is soft and pigmented and lasts all day. I don't think Cargo blushes are too expensive as you get a lot of product for your $22. Only complaint is the lid is a little loose and the tin shows scratches and dings easily. I swapped for this but would definitely repurchase it.

This is my first Cargo blush, and so far I am very pleased with it. On me, it is a soft, but deep, dusty rose with hints of plum or mauve and some very subtle gold shimmer. It is similar to my stila fade blush (probably why I was drawn to this shade - lol), but rosier. This is definitely a great shade for fall and winter. It is neutral and goes with almost anything. Prague is very pigmented, so I do need to use a light hand as I have very fair skin, but it is so pretty on! The texture is great too - very silky! I think the Cargo tins are very attractive, but the lid is too loose and should fit better considering the price. I would definitely like to try other Cargo blushes now! I now can see why others have commented that these blushes can be addicting...

I am a huge fan of Cargo blushes and this one is no exception. Prague is a matte dusty rose shade. looks a little blah in the tin but gives my NC30 light olive complexion a soft rosy glow. Great nuetral shade. I like to wear this with a colorful eye. Retails for $22 and comes in a large silver tin. Lasts all day and doesnt cause any breakouts.

This is a fabulous neutral blush, it's great for when you want the focus to be on either the eyes or lips but still need a bit of cheek color. It's a beigey-rose shade that looks very natural on my skin (LLL, NC20) and no shimmer.

On my LLL complexion, Prague applies as a soft, matte rose brown. It's a neutral color, and looks fairly natural. The texture is soft and silky like other Cargo blushes. I had to take off a lipstick because this isn't the best color for me.
