Why did they discontinue this?!
I got mine on ebay for really cheap, and I have several backups
These are very natural blushes and are so easy to apply
Personally I think theyre better than the nars multiples which are too glittery, too heavy and too expensive

These apply in a thin gel consistency that is fool proof and looks very real, if applied correctly it doesnt even look like you are wearing makeup

The best blush ever. easy to apply, provides perfect color for my face, longlasting and affordable. I was afraid to buy this bc of the color in the container (bright red!) but on my cheeks its really natural and beautiful. Love it. I bought it on ebay for 8-9bucks, so nothing can beat this.

IT CONTINUES TO BOGGLE MY MIND THAT SMASHBOX ONLINE STILL HAS THIS IN THEIR DISCONTINUED "CURTAIN CALL" LISTINGS !!! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS COMPANY THINKING OF?!? NOTICE THEY DON'T (REPEAT: DON'T!) HAVE A NEWER / BETTER PRODUCT THAT REPLACES THIS -- & I DOUBT THEY EVER WILL. MEANWHILE, NO OTHER COMPANY HAS A BETTER OR MORE REALISTIC-LOOKING, & THUS, MORE "NATURAL-LOOKING" BLUSH PRODUCT FOR THE CHEEKS! // Indeed, not even a related item such as Mac's new "Just a Pinch" softened gel stain-in-a-tiny-glass-pot comes anywhere NEAR the beauty & lasting power of Smashbox's "Skin Tints" -- & "Infared" is the very BEST colour of this line, with its true-to-life, softly blue-based red-to-pink flush (that is, depending upon how much you apply, etc.). Yes it looks as red as a cherry in the container, but as soon as you apply it.... ahhhhh! It REALLY IS as if you are truly blushing -- or have been "just kissed by the sun" or "just in from the cold", as so many MUA'ers like to describe it.

AGAIN: THIS IS THE MOST REALISTIC LOOKING COSMETIC BLUSH OUT THERE: SO SMASHBOX, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?!?!???????
// Have I bought my back-ups? You bet! But that's not at all the same as buying it fresh from S-box.... & also not the same as knowing it's always there at the counters (& at Smashbox Online), making countless new customers happier -- AND lovelier than they were before! -- with their own discovery of the magic of Skin Tint -- & the magic of skin tint in "Infared" ! Friends, you who don't have it yet: go to Smashbox Online's "Curtain Calls" section -- or, for a cheaper hit, go to Ebay -- & buy yours now, before Smashbox makes the MAJOR MISTAKE of closing off access to this beautiful product forever!

I love this tint! :) I was so sad when I found out it was on curtain call and couldn't purchase this shade anymore. I searched for it everywhere until I found a brand new one on ebay! I was ecstatic! :) (I think I'm going to cry when it runs out... I do hope I'll be able to find a new one when it does.) It does not disappoint. This cherry red tint looks good on both my cheeks and my lips. (I have neutral fair Asian skin) I wear it over tinted moisturizer and under pressed powder for a simple yet glowing day look.

I'm a fan of lip/cheek stains and this one tops! This skin tint is totally hot! Then again, that's why it's called Infrared. :)

love love love! great totally natural color . i look like i'm naturally healthily flushed from activity - like i've just finished a run, or a yoga class, or um, more horizontal active pursuits. lovely. plus, i love it as a lipstain - it wears perfectly evenly and gives your lips a lovely natural looking "bitten" flush. finally, i cannot imagine EVER running out -because it takes such a tiny amount to get realistic healthy natural color . my new HG blush and lipstain. oh! and it hasn't broken me out . love love *love*

I love, love, love this!!!! I've had it for quite sometime and since a little goes a long way, I'll have it quite awhile longer. My husband calls it my "just had sex" color. It applies beautifully with fingers, but I like to use a foundation brush. It's an insanely pretty flush! It wears all day!

I didn't like this at all. The color reminded me of benefit benetint, which I feel looks fake and purplish.

I love this! Worn on the cheeks, it delivers a healthy flush. I also love it on the lips. Staying power is good.

Yellow-toned girls, don't let the bluish cast to this tint scare you off. It blends into a beautiful, healthy pink. The pigmentation is done perfectly--it's sheer but doesn't fade away into nothingness. I compare it to a swipe of watercolor paint, the way it delicately brightens the complexion. And I have to say, it's a must-have anytime you're hungover or sick. As great as this skintint is everyday, it can be a Godsend on the days you need serious makeup intervention!

Like most reviewers i found the bright red in the tube a little alarming, but on the skin it gives me the most gorgeous flush to my cheeks. A little goes a long way (just need one dab to do the trick) and it lasts well. As a lippie it's a gorgeous colour, in fact, it's that 'Gwen Stefani' red I've been searching for. It's a little drying as a lipstick, but as it's main job is a blush that's not a downside for me. Beautiful black packaging, too.

Not much that hasn't been said, except that I really think this product is error-proof. It just blends and builds like a dream. You can practically use it with your eyes closed.

Smashbox has created the perfect gel blush with Skin Tints. This is a beautiful sheer red, "I just came in from the snow" color. All the Skin Tint colors are highly pigmented, & one tube lasts FOREVER. I dab on a small amount with my finger, & it blends effortlessly. And the best thing is that it lasts all day on my combo/oily/acne-prone skin. I've never had any breakouts, clogged pores or any irritation of any kind with this. I also use this on my lips & apply gloss over it...very pretty!

Finally! A sheer, cool red. The other reviewers have aptly described the GORGEOUS color but for me the texture is also a major point. This lightweight gelstick is so blendable you can use your fingers and its flawless. The product melts right into the skin, so it's never sticky, greasy or hard to apply. It doesn't cling to those little dry patches either. The texture is simply amazing. The tube is large and the amount of product is generous. If I ever use it up, I would certainly rush to replace it. This blush is fast becoming my Holy Grail. Use your finger to dot some on your lips for that beestung effortless look.

Screaming red gel stick in fat lipstick tube packaging. Goes on very sheer and blends easily, so though the color is strong in the tube, it wears more like a fuchsia-rose color on both cheeks and lips - not the red tone i was looking for but still a keeper! The color pops with my AAB/NC25 coloring. Sheer enough to dot on straight from the stick then blend in. Good on lips too, for coordinated look. Doesn't stain fingertips. Applies nicely, very smooth, not sticky. Didn't make my cheek feel any more or less oily than powder blush at the end of the day. Love the packaging - very sturdy and portable, with tons of product. Definitely worth the $$.

I love these skin tints. Of the 3 I have (ultraviolet, heat & this one), this is the color I reach for the most. The Sephora website describes this as sheer fresh rose, but I get only the tiniest hint of rose from this. In the tube, it's a scary bright true red with blue undertones (no orange, pink, or brown at all), but on my skin it glides on very sheer, leaving a natural blushing kind of flush. Easy to blend, not sticky at all, and dries down to a sheer, glowy (not matte) finish that lasts all day without sinking into pores or disappearing. Packaging is a thin, tall, lipstick-like tube that is a great size for placing it directly on your skin and controlling where it goes (unlike tarte's fat packaging). Truly a great blush.

I love Smashbox Skin Tints. This is the first one I purchased and it is great. It is water-based, rich color that goes on easily, blends easily and lasts. I like it because it isn't sticky, creamy or dry. It's a nice thin, weightless tint. I guess you could say it's a very thin gel. You only have to use a small amount and just blend. You could use a brush or maybe a sponge but I just dot it on my cheeks and use my fingers. Smashing Infrared is a bright red in the tube but it goes on with a nice sheer red flush. Very nice. It's also buildable. The packaging is great too. It's a tube which you twist to expose the product. It's $28 which I thought was a little steep but you get a lot of product and it takes so little to get the desired effect. The tube will last forever.

These are my absolute favorite gel/cream blush. Same idea as NARS multiples but a thin gel instead of a heavy cream. NOt sticky like Tarte gel sticks. These are great. Come in a long black tube. No scent, dont cause breakouts and last all day. Infrared is a sheer red pink shade. Very pretty. So natural looking on the skin. Not too pink for my NC30 light olive complexion. Retails for $28. Great product.
