I love this blush. It's a medium peachy pink with slight gold shimmer running through it. I wear this with almost every look. It's perfect for brightening up my complexion. Very pigmented and formula is smooth. Def would repurchase! :)

Love it,picked it up & looked at it a couple of times,comparing to some of the other blush colors I used.Decided I would buy it,even I didn't like it.I could always bring it back.Long be hold the test.It actually wasn't as dark as I thought it was.It was a nice light rose on my cheeks.Definitely a keeper =)

Barely blushing is a pale shimmery tan-peach blush.it's got shimmers but when blended it becomes an almost satin finish.it brings enought color,to complete any bronzy-glowy look! I pair it with innocent blush.i use either a brush or my fingers to obtain a nice satin finish! Love it!

This was a great choice blush! I was on another site where this girl was doing a makeup tutorial and had similar coloring as me and she raved about this blush. I normally wear MAC blushes and decided to go out to my local Target and pick this up. I was so glad I did! I love the coloring, not too light, not too dark and just enough color w/o looking too clownish. I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

I picked this up at my local Dollar Tree because I figured, "hey it's only a dollar, why not give it a try." You don't really get much product in the packaging for one. The brush that comes with it is not impressive but most of them never really are of that great of quality. The blush itself has really nice pigmentation but it's not matte. It has a lot of shimmer to it that left my cheeks really glittery. The color also fades throughout the day, and it also leaves a mess when you swirl your brush around in it. I'm glad I didn't pay actual price for it so I only lost a dollar out of the deal but I will not be repurchasing.

HG blush. I've been using this blush for 5 years now. I can't count how many times I've repurchased. The look is so natural on me. I use it everyday to give me a nice flush on my cheeks. My only complaint is that I wish it were a little more long-lasting. It wears off relatively fast if applied to bare skin on days I do a 3 min face. The staying power is good when your doing a full face with primer + foundation + powder.

This color looks really pretty on me. It's peachish so it gives me a "barely blushing" color to my face. Despite some of the reviews, it doesn't show up very glittery for me at all on my face (even though it looks really glittery in the container). It goes on very easily and it's pigmented


My only problems are that it comes off rather easily (touching my face with my finger would put a dent in the color) and it's kind of pricey for drugstore brand (I think it was about $10)

I went online and took the color match test to see what would be my colors. For the blush, this one was the one that was recommended to me. This was my first time ever buying blush. I have to say, it is my last. I need not search anymore. I LOVE THIS COLOR!!!!...I have about 5 of them all in this color. Ive never bothered to try a diff one because this one is for me. Everyone always asks why do I have such a nice tan in the middle of winter. My natural complexion is tanish, but it sometimes looks dull and tired. When I put this on, it helps brighten up my complexion. I dont understand why people say it looks peachy. On me, it looks like a very like a shear rosy shimmery color. I LOVE IT!!!
Oh I must say though...I wish the applicating brush was different...BIGGER...but I already had one...so..no biggie..

I got this in a gift pack from Walmart. I'm a W4 in the true match system thing, and this matches my skin tone. It looks soo natural and pretty on me:) The only complaint I have is its pretty shimmery, so I don't put on too much, or else I look like a glitter ball. But or else, its very pigmented, the color is gorgeous, and this is my everyday blush!

I am a W6 in the True Match system, but I was attracted to this blush's (W3-4) brightness, so I swapped for it. I had to apply a couple of layers, but it is super soft and easy to blend. The color is absolutely wonderful! It's perfect. I do plan on buying the color actually meant for my range (subtle sable), but will definitely continue to use this as well.

This is my HG powder! I get so many compliments when I wear it. It looks so natural but it warms my face up so much! I use a different brush than what comes in the blush package but the color, consistency and feel of the product is great.....I must buy more of this so I don't run out:)

I guess it's due to my skin tone but this Barely Blushing shade barely shows up on my skin. I layered and layered and NOTHING! It's a so-called "warm" shade but gives my cheeks absolutely no warmth of any kind. I guess it just wasn't meant for my AA skin. In fact, I'm tossing it!

The blush color was lovely :) ... On the other hand -__- I was looking for a blush with NO shimmer. A matte one. A friend reccommended this to me claiming that it would give me a natural look. No. Wrong. Once I put it on; it gave me a really healthy look but I tend to have my hands on my face a lot sooo before I realized it, I had hands full of shimmer. It was like I dipped my hands into a bucket of glitter. Oh wells; I'll give it 4 stars for being a lovely shade.

The true match blush is truly a dear! I lovelove the way it is versatile and compacts into a secret mirror at the back. I even amazed someone by revealing the mirror at the back of the blush. Okay, back to the point.. the blush is a keeper! I used this blush as a secret weapon on special occasions. The color stays on for a long time and I hardly re-apply the product. The pro's outweigh the con's so I cannot think of anything bad. Is it bad for me to say that I keep secret small items in the mirror side? I feel like a spy!

I got this during a bogo sale. I bought to go wiht the true match liquid foundation, butI notice this blush fades as the day gets longer...so the reapplying is kind of annoying and it fades leaving spots of color on my cheeks. I don't think I'd buy it again.

I’m currently obsessed with blush (both drugstore and high-end) and I’m loving L’Oreal True Match blushes! I love the texture—very smooth and super easy to blend. I like the size of the pan, it’s approximately 2 inches in diameter, though a bit smaller than Cargo blush tins. It comes with a blush brush, but like many drugstore brands, the brush is completely worthless—hence, the 4 lippies. Barely Blushing is a rose shade with subtle brown-coral'ish undertones and silver shimmer. I wear it alone for a subtle shimmery flush, or I pair it with another peach colored blush for a enhanced summer glow.

I absolutely love this product. It's the only blush that I use most of the time. It gives me an extremely natural look.

This is a rusty-brown tone and much too dark for me - it makes me look like a clown, no matter how lightly I apply it.
I bought it because I saw an ad for this blush featuring Scarlett Johansson she looked great in this and since her skin is about the same tone as mine, I though the blush would be a good match. Wrong! I can see someone with medium to dark skin tones wearing it well, though.

I purchased this blush with a buy one get one free deal at the local drugstore. Normally, I wouldn't spend the 10-12 dollars on a drugstore blush at regular price. The pan is huge and I can't imagine how long it will take to finish. The compact is a nice size to deposit blush easily on your brush. The great reviews led me to buy this blush and the boards were right! The blush gives a nice flushed slightly bronzy glow to my cheeks. Awesome color just in time for the summer!

For reference I am NC25 or Medium in Mineralize SkinFinish and normally prefer MAC Peechykeen.

I somehow got mine in LE from Ulta's clearance bin. This is my new favorite and the name, Barely Blushing, applies for me. I've medium neutral skin tone. I use bronzer brush (in the picture below) and just one stroke on blush and blend on the cheeks. Easy to apply and last pretty long. I don't see shimmers on my cheeks but saw some in the pan. I like this blush much more than L'Oreal's ovarian cancer LE blush. Some pictures:
