I got this in a gwp. I really like this blush for a nude blush. It gives a nice hint of color. I would have rated it a five if it was a bit more pigmented. I have to add a couple layers to get this to show more on my medium skin. Overall a nice effortless blush that blends really well.

This is a nice product, beige-brown with a hint of pink which on my pale skin could almost be worn as a bronzer. I wear this when I am wearing warmer eye colors and it works really well. I wouldn't buy this again though, not because it isn't a good product, but because there are so many other blushes out there. I would recommend this color if you are pale and want to avoid the cool toned pinks that are so commonly recommended for pale skin.

Mocha pink is the perfect balance of beige brown and pink. Please note I am not a wearer of pink or bricky tones as I am incredibly pale this is the most perfect inbetween shade which lends itself to all colourways - i.e great with a bronzer in summer and great when wearing plumtones/deep purple smokey looks in the colder months. Only gripe is the classic clinique cakey skin that forms on the product, all their blushes are prone to this but it is easily fixed with a bit of scraping.

This blush is such a pretty color, but it goes on way to sheer. Clinique's Blushing Blush Powder Blush is a much better formula and comes in just as great a range of colors. I recommend the Precious Posey for a natural flush.

This looks a lot like Mac's "Buff" matte powder blush on me. It gives the face some colour, but in a subtle and safe way. I find that it is less hard-pressed than the Mac blushes and so is easier to pick up on the brush. No scrubbing required....just skim brush gently across the top and enough picks up very easily.

I love this blush. I'm very fair and like to wear neutral makeup. I'd been looking for a neutral pink brown blush for years to complement my nude lipsticks but all of the allegedly 'nude' blushes I tried were either too dark, muddy brown or orange on my skin or too sparkly and sheer. This blush is perfect. It's a beautiful, medium pink-brown shade that applies sheerly but is buildable to a beautiful colour. It actually looks 'nude' on my skin HOORAY! I disagree that it is completely matte, on me this shade has a small amount of shimmer/sheen to it. But I don't mind it, in fact I think that's what make the shade work on me. It gives it some dimension and prevents it from being a completely flat, boring colour. I sure hope Clinique never discontinues this because I intend to keep buying it forever and ever! I highly recommend this to anyone with fair skin who is looking for a nude coloured blush.

Pretty, understated pink-brown. Very matte. Great for summer, especially blended with a little bronzer. Pricey but lasts forever.

I love this blush! When used with bronzer this gives that summer sun kissed look. I'll wear a berry gloss and light gold or bronze eyes and tons of black mascara soooo pretty. It's like a pinkey neutral color (more brown in it). This could also be used down your nose or on your forehead (it looks a little like a bronzer when applied). I use foundation to cover up redness and imperfections so I'm not always keen to add more pink/redness with blush. Mocha pink solves all of that by giving me color without making me look red or ruddy.

I also love the compact that it comes in. It has a nice big mirror and it even comes with a brush! The compact is also very sleek and clicks firmly shut. On top of t all clinique specializes in skin friendly non scented products, so no unpleasant odors or bouts of acne to deal with. I'm so glad I bought this!

I got a sample of this in a mini palette and I LOVE it! This is such a gorgeous color!! It's kind of a pinky nude. Kinda like a brownish pink color. This is super blendable, but fades a bit. I love the classy Clinique packaging and the button makes the top pop slightly up so you can lift it. The brush is quite useless. It would b okay for a touch up, but it is tiny and square. L'Oreal blush brushes are better and softer! The bristles are a bit coarse. The downside is that this isn't very pigmented. Also $20 is a bit much but it has a nice amount of product. 0.27 oz to be exact. Also, because of the talc ingredient, it broke me out, which is a shame cause it's sucha gorgeous color

This really is my favorite blush. Its the only one I have found so far that is really flattering and natural. I am NC44/45 and I did not think it would look good at all, but because it was a gift with purchase I went ahead and tried it, and I really love it. I am going to buy the full version as soon as possible! So happy about this blush and would suggest it to anyone with a similar complexion!

Got this as a GWP and at first thought it would be too brown, but it is a very natural looking blush. Even though I layered it to get the intensity I wanted, it is still sheer and I like that. It also looks surprisingly good under the less than flattering flourescent lighting at work.

I've used this blush color for over 10 years. This is the most flattering, natural-looking blush I've ever used. It is sheer, but buildable, and not shiny or sparkly, which is good for daytime use. I use it almost everyday. I think it would probably suit light to medium skin tones the best.

I LOVE this stuff! I have tried multiple drug store brand blushes in hopes to find something a little cheaper then this and have yet to be satisfied with anything else. This gives you good color, but not too much. It's not shimmery and doesn't smell at all (two of my major annoyances with the other stuff I've tried). Will continue to buy again and again!

I had this blush for awhile, and I used some of it but not all and I didn't know what to do with it anymore.
Let me just start by saying that the color is ok, not pretty, not ugly, not breathtaking, but ok. It adds a subtle color to your cheekbones. I hated the way Clinique packaged it, the long strip in the green container with a little brush. You couldn't use it properly. So after awhile, I decided to experiment. I broke it up and turned it into a loose powder, and I mixed it with a little bit of leftover Glee from BE. I made a wonderful blush, it had more punch than Clinique, but not overly sparkly like the Glee. The two togheter look very nice and natural on my cheeks and it also blends well. I am considering buying both blushes again and doing the experiment once more.

I recently dug this out of the deep dark recesses of my makeup storage. It was in a compact with two other eyeshadows from a GWP from at least 5 or 6 years ago....anyhow, at the time I received this I thought, "this blush will never work on my African American skintone" so I never used it. Then, a few months ago, when in search of the perfect neutral, pinky peachy brown blush, I rediscovered it. Now I'm in love! I've found my perfect neutral blush shade! I am a medium- toned African American woman and we struggle with blush anyway. Barbie doll pinks (especially frost ones) are a huge mistake, and the deeper oranges, wines, and reddish pinks scream 'I'M WEARING BLUSH'. I will definitely purchase full size product when GWP size runs out

This is the wonderful natural color I have been looking for!!! I am so excited!!! It is kind of a brownish pink...so pretty. I am light/medium with cool/neutral undertones. This blush makes me look nice a polished.

Though this is a brownish pink, it's neutral enough to work well with my cool coloring. The matte, finely milled formula gives cheekbones a natural but sculpted look, and the wear is pretty decent. The shade isn't particularly unique, but the effect is still nice and I would consider repurchasing.

This is a pretty decent blush. It goes on matte and matched my natural blush pretty well. However, I found it didn't last all day which I never had that problem with any other blush before.
