I am working my way through trying out my new haul of Illamasqua powder blushes. I have been wearing this one recently and really loving it. Well, I love all of the ones I have tried so far. These are just lovely and long lasting. So easy to apply and blend out too. On my light olive toned NC20 skin, this blush seems to be a vibrant peach. I use a light hand as it is quite pigmented.

These are by far the best blushes I have ever had. I have had more expensive high end brands to compare to, and nothing beats these. This blush is so incredibly pigmented. The texture is so silky, there's no fly away powder, and it blends on so nicely. The staying power is amazing, I've fallen asleep with it on and it was still there in the morning. I only need to just dab a brush with the product to apply, so it will last forever.
-Tremble is the other pink shade I have, which would work for a larger variety of skin tones, and it is so beautiful. It's a true neutral-warm pink shade, looks great on cool and warm tones. It is definitely a bright pink and more opaque as compared to the pastel-ness of Katie.

Beautiful blush on nc 30 skin. It is my HG blush my go to everyday blush it gives me just enough of a flush of pink that looks natural. Been using it for six months I still have much left in pan. Very pigmented and pretty good staying power. I think this blush does really well on oily to combo skin types for it mattifys the cheeks quite nicely.

NW10 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.

Much like my review of Hussy, I was disappointed in this blush because I found it didn't do anything for me that my other blushes already did. I liked how it looked, but I prefer my other blush, Palladio Rosey, which imparts a subtle glow. Meh, maybe I just am biased against matte blushes.

Ok seriously now I understand what all the hype is surrounding Illamasqua blushes! The color Tremble is a warm baby pink with hints of coral. It is a FANTASTIC colour, something I don't have in my ginormous blush collection, surprisingly. I've waited sooooo long for Illasqua to hit Sephora stores in Canada and now it finally has! Us Canadians couldn't even get Sephora to ship to us if we ordered online o_O

Tremble is very wearable and easy to pair with anything. It is very pigmented but if used with a light hand you can still achieve a minimalist look. It is matte and a dream to blend out. The wear-time really surprised me too, it lasted for pretty much 6 hours which is unheard of for me (because I have the oiliest skin in the world. No blush has lasted on my skin for more than 3 hours). The only negative thing I can say is the price ($32 Cdn) and the packaging feels pretty cheapy considering the price. Also, the powder is so incredibly finely milled, so when you dip your brush in it the powder sort of disperses, creating a dusty effect around the pan. It could potentially get messy but the trick is to pat the brush into the product, not swirl. Anyways, I hope this review helped some of you :)

I decided to switch to matte blushes & Illamasqua's always get such high praise that I ordered 3 sight-unseen from Sephora. This was the only one I decided not to keep & that is just because it was similar in color to my Stila CC in Petunia. Different formula, yes but I'm trying to avoid dupes (plus I had another lemming at Sephora so a store credit would help).

Very pigmented & bright. Gorgeous.

This is a bright warm pink blush. It works well for a sheer wash of bright color but is also fairly buildable. It's the only blush I've ever noticed a smell with; a sweet vanilla that you can smell as you apply it and fades quickly, which is sad because it's yummy! It's very pigmented, blends well but it doesn't seem to have great lasting power on me-only about 4 hours. Overall I feel this is a very user friendly blush. I can't think of any dupes I have for it either. It's warmer than MAC pink swoon. That's the only color I have that is even kind of similar.

I'm very fair and neutral-warmish, and this blush is beautiful on my skin.

It's an extremely bright pink in the pan, but if applied with a light hand, it is the prettiest peach color that lasts hours. It is also completely matte and looks very natural is applied correctly.

If you're gentle, you'll get very little fallout, and the blush will last forever!

Many suggested Tremble for my extremely pale, warm toned skin. However... I'm not in love with it. The color comes off as a sickly yellow pink, & is way too bright even applied with a light hand. I looked like a clown wearing this. Even though I probably would not repurchase, I still have nice things to say about this blush. For one - it's very pigmented. So if you do like the color, it'll last you for ages. Two - the packaging is very classy & unique. Three - You get a lot of product for only $24. All in all Illamasqua is a nice brand!

This is currently my favorite blush. As other reviewers have described it, it's a warm pink leaning on the peachy side. Illamasqua's description of this shade (warm lilac pink) is quite misleading because there is nothing lilac in this product.
The pigmentation is amazing. I need the smallest amount to make my cheeks look beautifully and naturally flushed. I'm not sure if this would go well with cooler undertones because it is an obviously warm shade, but for us yellowish girl, it's a gift sent from heaven.
The color is also quite versatile. I find I reach for it both during the day and evening and I combine it with a number of eye colors. I have yet to find a look which this blush doesn't complement.
It is matte, but not a flat kind of matte. There is no luminosity, but I guess the vibrancy of the color makes it not look dull.
As for the staying power, I have no complaints. I would go out at 8 in the evening and it would still be there at 4 am. However, a bit of fading can be noticed, but nothing terrible.
It does have some fallout, but I think that's because it is extremely finely milled. It really feels like silk.
And I find it hard to understand why this isn't as hyped up as Katie or Hussy. It's far more versatile and wearable on more skintones.

This is my HG, everyday blush. As others have said, it's a light, bright warm pink with tons of pigment and some fallout.It's wildly flattering and natural on my NW20 skin and lasts a good six-eight hours. Since most blushes disappear on me within a couple of hours, I'm thrilled to have found one that stays on so well. I think Tremble would suit any cool skin tone and many warm ones. Definitely a must have if you want something highly pigmented and long-lasting.

I bought this when my Sephoras stopped carrying my favorite shade Unrequited. This looked quite similar, but once I got them home I could see that Unrequited is more of a classic bubblegum pink and Tremble has a shade more peach in it. To my surprise, I preferred Tremble - it's more flattering on my NC27 face. This shade is something you'd think is easily duped but when I busted out my entire collection of peach-pink blushes - which is colossal - this was unique. It's bright but subtle, awakening your face, and like most Illamasqua blushes, melts right in and looks perfect.



Katie and Hussy seem to be the faves of this line, but I own both and never use either. Hussy is just a bit too bright - it looks pretty in my makeup mirror and then clownish in other lights, no matter how lightly I apply and blend. Katie looks awful on me period. I mention this because I think a lot of people read the reviews and gravitate to these shades - if this is you and you haven't had success with them either, try Unrequited or Tremble. They are gorgeous.

I was very surprised that this color turned out to be my favorite of the three that I ordered - hussy, tremble and tweak. I have NC25-30ish skin so I thought that hussy would be my favorite as it is for so many other reviewers/bloggers but this color just looks so much more natural and radiant and it really does show up. It also lasts all day on my oily skin.

On my skin tone, the color is quite near to that natural pink I'm always trying to achieve. It does leave a faint neon orange tint (that looks really bad on my pinkish face) but it's acceptable. It is extremely pigmented so you really need to know your job of applying blush and own a good brush. But it's also easily mendable if needed (making it not super durable).
What I don't like is the packaging. First, I miss the mirror and the box, which is of a weird shape, is rather hard to open. It also creates a lot of dust so you need to be careful not to use it near your clothes.

Bright bubblegum pink Illamasqua never fail to please. Works on cool tones as well as warm. I am NW35 my cousin is NC44 we can both carry this off.

Illamasqua describes Tremble as a "light, warm pink." For me, it's like pretend peach. I'm NW5 and I gravitate towards blushes that are heavily pink. While Tremble is pink, it also hints at coral and peach. It's light--but bright!--and pigmented. It also has a lot of fallout, which is inconvenient, but it's all color. I've heard that others have had trouble with the pan falling out of the plastic with Tremble in particular. While that hasn't happened to me yet, it is something to be aware of. Ultimately, while the color is lovely, the fallout issue leaves me searching for a better formula, and I don't think I'd repurchase.

I have used this product for going out on evenings and yes it stayed put all night. It is a warm pink which suits my skin tone beautifully. When I swirled my brush into the pan, I was surprised at the amount of fall out from the pan. So expect fall out from the pan. It is pigmented so best to try on the back of hand first. They really need to update their packaging. Its a bit too ordinary plastic feel.

Oh wow! I absolutely LOVE this blush! It's high in pigment so you don't need much at all and it has a super soft satiny feel. DEFINITELY use this blush with a good quality blush brush. A cheap brush definitely wouldn't do this magical fairy dust any justice. This colour is gorgeous and looks great on pale skin especially.

Totally HG blush for me. I love Illamasqua blushes and have several colors, but with Tremble, I found my true love. It is a warm based pink blush that is really rosey and beautiful. Very pigmented as others have mentioned. I also love Katie, but that is a very light blue based blush, however, very unique. If you have warm undertones, and just need a nice pigmented rosey pink blush, this is for you!

This is a true rose color that is hard to find and I love it. It is close to the natural color that I flush which was what I was looking for. The case is gorgeous too!!
