The thing I like most about these matte blushes (including this color) is that the product is completely build-able. I have a light skin tone and in the winter one layer is plenty. In the summer, when I get a little darker and into the medium skin tones, I can put 2-3 layers w/o it looks powdery or chalky. I think these are excellent quality. I wish they would toss the brush and make the pan larger or make it a circle and more like HE blush, but I'll keep buying it anyways b/c the quality is so nice and the colors are very wearable w/o being "blah". So far I own this and Buff.

First off, I think the packaging is nice. Very clean and classic, no hassle. It has a pop out mirror, you have to press a little "tab", and it pops out on the right.
This blush is just a matte pink with a touch of berry. It's very natural, gives me a natural flush. When I think berry, I think of more scary, purpled colors. But this is so subtle.
Also, I actually kind of like that this blush is not TOO pigmented, so that I can build up the color without looking like a clown. The texture is soft and smooth, it applies evenly without skipping.
:) I'm satisfied. Great everyday color.

I have been using Revlon's powder blush for ages. Revlon has the best powder blush out of all the other brands that I have tried so far. Blushing Berry gives cheeks a soft matte glow. ( I am a NC 30) Its texture is so smooth and spreads evenly over the cheeks without leaving patches or being cakey even on top of concealers. Gives the skin a smooth effect. Awesome product! Love Revlon blushes!

I had been searching for a berryish pink blush with no or low shimmer without luck. So many are either too bright (NC15-20, dark hair and eyes), are reddish berries or have plum tones. This one is perfect! It's a lighter to mid-tone berry without the red or plum and is muted enough to not look neon. I was worried that it would be too dark and as pigmented as this is, it is easy to go overboard. I *lightly* applied using a regular blush brush and looked like I had been slapped. Repeatedly. On the next try I used a skunk brush, stippled it onto the apples of my cheeks and blended out using a clean flat top brush. Perfect, natural, just-in-from-the-cold flush!
I can see this being used a lot in the summer also. A little heavier once I'm a shade darker and paired with summery colors on my eyes and lips and it will be a great pop of color on my cheeks.
Staying power is consistent with other CS products. That is, they stick around a decent length of time, especially for d/s products, but nothing to write home about. So far no irritation or breakouts on my ultra sensitive, acne prone skin and hopefully it stays that way.
Packaging is nothing special. Basic, square, clear top.
I did get a little thrown off by the "pop up mirror", you have to push a little tiny button and the very small mirror pops out the side. I kept pushing and pushing trying to find out where this mirror was and finally came to realize I was holding it shut because of the way I as holding the compact.

So it's love and I'm definitely going to check out the other colors. I'll be using this one often but it never hurts to add even more variety.
