Ive got NC43 skin tone and this in Sugar Plum is just enough color for day. I cant say about the packaging as I received a sample size (which lasted me a surprisingly long month!) but I'll probably purchase a full size when I run out of MAC Format or something..

I have between medium and light olive skin and I use Sugar Plum. This is a very nice blush if you want a sheer, light rose colour (like a flush on your cheeks). It layers beautifully and looks very natural. It's hard to over do it with this stuff, even if (like me) you have a heavy hand with blush. Actually it's almost too sheer, because on my colouring I definitely need to layer this. I've had mine for about 5 years and it's still good. This isn't the only blush I use, but this still lasts a long time. The only thing - don't bother with the stupid puny little brush that comes with it - use a big blush brush instead to get a beautiful soft finish.

I love this blush. I like the very natural makeup look and hate looking "made up." This blush is really sheer and natural looking and it only takes me 2 strokes on each cheek to achieve the bit of color for which I'm looking. The only negative (in jest, of course) is that the colors are so natural that I had a hard time picking a shade for myself- many of them looked good on my light Asian skin! It is buildable for those looking for a heavier look but I recommend this product for those of you who like the minimal makeup look.

Gorgeous colors, but VERY sheer. It must be layered, and layered, and layered . . .

I just finished going through all my cosmetics and organizing, when I came across this forgotten little gem that I received as GWP a while back. I'd never really tried it out but decided to and I really like it. The shade is cheeky peach. Very pretty shade on fair skin. Sheer natural colour. Works great with the dark eyes, nude lips type of palette. I've also tried Plum Fabulous and enjoy that as well.

Somehow this is the brand I always come back to, even after I try many others. I don't know why I don't just keep buying it. Must be my love of trying new things. But after all, I always wind up buying this again. It's easy to build (goes on sheer but gives intense color when I want it), blends well even with my pale skin, doesn't streak and still looks good after 8 hours in an office. Yep. I need to face it... I've found a good thing and I should quit straying. :0P

I have this in Silk Bronze, which brings out the yellower tones in my skin and gives me a somewhat sunkissed glow. It's definitely possible to overdo with this shade, but overall, I think it has a sheer enough coverage to apply a "natural" look. This is basically my default blusher, and I definitely plan to buy it again when I run out - but the good part is, I've been working on one compact for about 2 years now, and there is still plenty left, so a little goes a long way with this stuff.

They have a good range of colors and do build nicely. It works well if I use it on top of a foundation, but when I use it on bare skin, my face reacts poorly towards it. It starts to get itchy! So, not good for me...

Great texture and consistancy, it can last all day. I have it sugar plum, not a totally natural color, but just the thing for nights out. But for the price, next time I'll chose more of a natural color.

I have this in New Chestnut and Silk Bronze. They have a nice texture and go on quite smoothly. I like how sheer they are but they are also buildable. New Chestnut is a golden nude colour that warms up my LLL complexion. I have tried New Chestnut all over my face like a bronzer and I liked the results. Silk Bronze is a brownish pink that looks dark but it really isn't. It warms up my complexion too.

I am pretty much a Clinique hater to the core, it's just such poor quality, wrapped up in pretty packaging to fool you into thinking it's not. But when it comes to this blush, I love it. I use "Cupcake" as a bronzer and numerous other shades on my cheeks, and they're all pretty. Even shades that appear too dark in the package- plum and rose shades- look beautiful on if applied with a light hand. And they last all day. UPDATE: Mac beats Clinique again! Have switched to Mac blush and won't go back. It's much better quality and consistancy. I recommend that itstead.

I don't recall what color I have this blush in, but I absolutely love it! It is sheer, which is what I love about it. The color is very subtle and natural looking. You can also layer it for a deeper blush. Goes on silky smooth and blends like a dream, would definitely repurchase!

I got this in a GWP, in Silk Bronze. The texture is smooth and light, but this color is really too dark on a PPP. It would look great on someone olive-complected, though. No complaints about the quality, though, so it gets 4 lippies.

I have this in Posy Blush. This is a great blush, it's definitely sheer and goes on smoothly. It's great for that natural look. It isn't heavy at all, and doesn't clog my pores and make me break out like other blushes. I would buy again!

I bought the shade plum gorgeous and I thought it 'might' be a bit dark until I went to apply it. This product lives up to its name 'sheer' powder blusher. The shade is beautiful, great for those of us who are heavyhanded. It gives a flush of color without being too obvious. Packaging is better than drugstore, price is not too expensive but then again not exactly inexpensive either, somewhere in between. I took off two points for overall rating because I prefer my color cosmetics to be more pigmented but this still is a good blush, I might repurchase.

I like this because it IS very sheer. Personally, I don't like deep blushes, even though I have tan skin, because I feel that I then have too much color on my face. I like something subtle, and this is it. Oil-free, too.

I have one in sweet cheeks 'cause I have a yellowish olive skin. I've been using this for three years and this blush always leave me looking healthy. I use very little of it on my cheeks because I like a natural look. I find it easier to use the brush when I rinsed it in water and let it dry.

I wear this in Silk Bronze (nudes/natural color family) and love it!! I have fair skin with yellow/golden undertones and this is the perfect blush for my coloring. I also have Totally Tawny and Mocha Pink, both are also great colors. It's oil-free, doesn't make me breakout, and stays on.
