I adore this Smashbox Blush/Highlighter Duo--I use Cast and Crew as well as another one.

I'm getting the feeling, from the new fall line, that Blush/Highlighter Duo in this form is being discontinued. I'm a wreck!!!!

I love this product--the highlighter is the only one I've found that looks healthy and natural instead of garish on me.

If anybody knows anything different about the status of B/H Duo, please let us know here. I've come to depend upon it.

Product - LE. Big split pan duo of powder blush in shimmery golden peach and Soft Lights highlighter in shimmery champagne. Great duo of shades for my AAB/NC25 coloring. Very nicely pigmented - not too sheer, not too heavy. Silky texture and easy to blend. I like to use the Soft Lights shade as e/s on my browbone or wash also.


Comparisons - Reminds me of CARGO BeachBlush in Tenerife, but the coral shade in Cast/Crew is brighter, and with more orange to it.


Packaging - Same size as a Smashbox Soft Lights (full-size), Eye Illusion quad, and creme highlighter quads - pretty darn wide. Great size for working in a fat brush and picking up just one shade at a time. Clear screwtop lid.


Overall - Lovely highlighter and blush duo for warm skintones. Great for days when bronzer would be over-the-top.

This is duo from the Softlights range contains a semi-sheer bright coral blush shade and a light gold fleck with pink highlighter. The highlighter colour in this duo is very similar to the single softlight called 'Highlight' but with slightly less frosty. The colours mixed together give a bright summery glow, that perks up the skin. This duo is one of the less pigmented ones when compared with Club/Lounge or Glow. Another great product from Smashbox, this generous size will last forever but if something should happen I would definitely buy again.

This has become my HG blush. The lighter color is great on eyes as a wash. For reference I'm NC20 Brown eyes caramel highlights and freckly skin.

Ok, for the record, I think for what these products do, they could charge double and it would still be worth it.
Cast/Crew is a peachy apricot blush with a yellow/pink/peach highlighter. The highlighter found in this duo is also a seperate product called Soft Lights, and this shade is called Highlight. The Soft Lights powders are my absolute most favorite makeup product on earth, and this one is my second favorite shade. When you see J-Lo and all these magazine models and celebs with this perfectly glowing skin, well, this is the product that is going to give it to you.
The duo works well together, the blush offsets the highlighter perfectly, this is a great spring/summer duo, but will work equally well into fall and winter.

Cast and crew duo is a blush and highlighter duo in the large black pot with clear twist off lid. This is a true peach blush with champagne highlighter duo. The duo works beautifully together on my NC30 skintone. This came in the You're on in 5 kit from QVC.com but is also available there individually for $28. It went on nicely but didnt last all day on me. 5 hours tops and needed a touch up. Needed a couple brush strokes to get enough blush on as well. (i like alot of blush). still pretty though.
