I love this blush! It looks really natural on me, it looks like the colour I get after I exercised. It also happens to be a very good dupe for NARS Orgasm. It stays on my oily face for a long time, even longer than Orgasm. I do not have to reply this a lot during the day, even if it is a very hot and humid day.

this is my HG blush! it's beautiful, it's cheap, what more could you ask for?? i love that it's almost a cross between a coral blush and a light bronzer! I've had this for about two months and have hit pan from using it everyday. i dont think i could live without it lol.

I picked this up at my local Target after reading all the great reviews and I was not disappointed! It is such a lovely shimmery coral that is great for an everyday look for it can be built up or worn sheer. This is a must have for the price and I will definitely repurchase!

I'm fair and corals don't usually compliment my skin tone. However this one is just dark enough that it seems to do the trick. My only gripe is that the powder doesn't stick in the pan...it goes everywhere. I mean everywhere! We're talking serious vanity wipedown. If I don't find another coral blush before I hit pan, then I will repurchase b/c it's a nice color.

Like the elf blushes- decent pigment and packaging. This color is actually more of a dupe for nars deep throat than any other color. Gave mine away once I realized that as I have deep throat. This is not a dead on dupe for quality like nars but pretty close and only $3.

Great affordable alternative for Benefit's Coralista. It's a nice sized pan, so you can use a larger brush if that's what you prefer. It has a little mirror on it, thats always nice. It has a slight sheen, but nothing too over powering or cheesy looking. Great for a wide range of skin tones and undertones. For the price, you can't loose.

This blush is nice, it's not the best, but considering the price, it's worth it. The color is flattering on almost all skintones, and it is pretty pigmented. There is a slight shimmer to it, it has a bit of a silver sheen that might make skin look oily. I don't find it to last very long, the lasting power is about 2 hours for me, and I have normal skin. There is also a bit of fallout. I probably wouldn't repurchase, but I recommend it because it's really inexpensive, and it's worth a try. You might end up loving it. It was okay for me, I don't reach for it often, but when I do, I like the color.

I love this shade of blush from the E.L.F. Studio line! It is a perfect coral color for summer!
The E.L.F. Studio blushes are all great products, blending easily and being very buildable colors. The packaging is great as well and comes with a nice sized mirror that is good to have when carrying the product on-the-go.
I definitely recommend this product and plan on purchasing more shades soon!

This is quality blush! While some people have compared it to NARS Orgasm, i don't really think it's anything like it. It's like a peachy-pink with a subtle golden sheen... seems more orange/peach than Orgasm, which leans more pink.
It stays on my cheeks all day, and works well with a bronzey look. Very nice. And i LOVE ELF studio packaging... it's sleek and doesn't get all finger-printy.

LOVE! How can you beat this blush at only 3 dollars. This is a sheer peachy coral that just looks gorgeous on every skin tone. I have a warm tan complextion and this blush just gives me a perfect shimmery glow. This is perfect for everyday wear. At first i was afraid that it would be too sheer, but the color is very buidable. From what i can tell its fragrance free so thats always a plus. This is a must have!

For the past few years I have been wearing the same blush from The ColorWorkshop and I thought that it was definitely time for a change! I purchased this blush for only $3.00 at my local Target in Patterson, CA this price is very reasonable I think and I since it is so nice where I live I decided that today I would wear this blush and review it for all of you!
I love the packaging of this blush it comes in a compact with a mirror and it has the name of the blush Candid Coral on the back of it. This blush feels very light weight and it goes on so nice and smooth and with this product you do not need a lot to get the color to show up on your cheeks. On my skin color it looks like a really nice light pink with a little bit of gold flecks I really like this blush and it gives my makeup a nice and fresh look.
The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow. Today I am wearing this blush by itself but I will do a makeup look layering this blush with another and see how that turns. I recommend the brand e.l.f. because I have never bought a product that I did not like and this blush is a gorgeous color and I think Candid Coral is a perfect blush to wear doing the summer time.

I own this blush in 5 colors--Candid coral, fushcia fusion, peachy keen, blushing rose, and tickled pink. This is a more peachy coral. Not bright at all. It is a nice, buildable, everyday color. Very wearable.

From my experience, this is a pretty good product for the price--$3. The color has been compared to NARS Orgasm (I can't attest to this, never having owned the infamous shade).
A lot of reviewers seemed to have trouble with the application/pigmentation. I've never had any problems with the color not showing on my cheeks (I am Asian and have light-medium yellow toned skin). I apply it with a synthetic hair kabuki brush (natural hair is too soft), and one sweep gives a soft but noticeable touch of color. Note, you DO have to rub the brush in the pan a bit, as this is a very compressed blush--I suspect this is the reason people are having trouble with the pigmentation. I have a kabuki brush with black hairs, so you can see the product on the brush which is helpful. The color is also very buildable, but 1-2 sweeps should give a nice flush. I've also never noticed an excessive shimmer on my cheeks, even though I can see the shimmer in the pan. I have almost used up my first pan, and I've already got a backup lined up.
All in all, obviously as others have stated there are better blushes out there, but I doubt many of them are available for $3.

I really like this Elf blush! It's not the greatest on medium/tan skin but it depends on how "fair" you are in that range for colour to show up. Even if colour doesn't show, it has really teeny tiny gold flecks that add a nice sheen without looking glittery/sparkly or greasy. Keep in mind that layering could mean more colour, but also more shimmer.
Instead of layering I just sweep up a good amount on my brush (experiment with this), and then dab & buff on my cheek. That way I get a small hint of colour without looking too shimmery.
Note: I'm a person who dislikes glitter/sparkle/obvious shimmer in face products, but Candid Coral just has tiny flecks and doesn't look like sparkle. It mimics how your skin would look if it were glistening, so the effect is quite classy and beautiful.

This blush is amazing! For such an inexpensive product, it has such a great color payoff. It's a lovely rich coral color that adds a great glow to the cheeks. I like to sometimes mix it with Tickled Pink or Peachy Keen for an extra pop. Would 100% repurchase

I love this blush. Elf products are cheap yet most are of good quality. I use this and apply it with the Elf blush brush and it works great. I do have to "build" the color up though.

This blush doesn't really have a good color pay off on my skin. I have medium tan skin and it just doesn't really show up. I find that I have to apply and reapply at least 3 times. I'm a little disappointed because I LOVE most of their other products!
