This is a beautiful color, very summery and well pigmented. The thing that stops it from being perfect is, I think, it's slightly too shimmery. It just looks like glitter on the face. I tend to prefer blushes that look a little more luminous/shimmery rather than just flat out glitter. Personal preference. The quality is good, not as good as NARS but still very good. Pigmentation is high, be careful not to overapply. One upside, the product is large, you get a lot of product for the price!

Love, love, love this product! I have yet to find any other blush as good as this one. The can lasts a long time and the color looks great on my brown skin tone. I always get compliments when I wear it...I don't feel my best when I go out without it!

This is one scary looking blush in the container..holy!! but on, wow, it's beautiful. Its so much more subtle that in the pan. It's a beautiful coral colour with some sheen. Very similar to UD's Score, another favourite of mine. If looking at Deep Throat, Coralista, Score or this, I'd by this.

this is one of my favorite blushes. it's a bright peachy coral that gives a really healthy glow. i'm a NC25 for reference. and it looks great on me all year round. i love that it goes on sheer and is buildable. it looks very scary in the pan but it's gorgeous on! and you get a good amount of product for the price. it's 9g of powder(which is the size of an average pressed powder/twice the size of most blushes). i bought this a year ago when it was $24 for it at sephora, but now it's $26(just a $2 increase but still a good price).i hate the bulky tin it comes in, so i depotted put it in my Stila sheer powder compact since it's so much slimmer and it has a mirror! overall, i absolutely love this and would highly recommend it. i would repurchase it, but i doubt i'll ever run out of it.

It has more of a peach coral tone on light skin, or a golden apricot on darker skintones. Sephora inside JC Penney does carry Cargo, while my Ulta has a very tiny display of the brand. The swatch pic is on my hand so you can see it works on all skintones. It's so beautiful I can't get enough of it for the Summer season. It wakes you up and gives a luminous glow. I have combination skin and it lasts for me. If you have dry skin then you need to put down a base because dry skin either absorbs cream products or powders just fall. I have combination skin and have had no lasting power issues with this blush. I love it and have no complaints.

Read a review on coral blush and how coral compliments any skintone and they recommended this blush. Well I bought it a year ago, and still have about 10% left, absolutely LOVE IT!!!! Goes on very nicely, my favorite, and its a nice large size and lasts forever , for $30 its a great blush for the price:)

This is my FAVORITE blush! I have been wearing this for about three years and always get compliments. I have dark tan skin and this blush makes my skin look very radiant. I recently noticed that celebrity MUA Sam Fine uses this blush a lot. The plus about it is this blush is suitable for ALL skin types. Ranging from pale to blue black this blush will look beautiful on you.

It is a gorgeous blush! Definitely, it is a good investment. To me this CARGO blush in Rome is so unique, I can hardly find an exact dupe in my blush collection. The blush gives me such an incredibly beautiful golden glow and a perfect sun-kissed look. As bronzers don't look good on my face I think this blush will give me this amazing summery, and a hint of bronzy look. And I also like that you get a huge container with a lot of product in it, that will last forever. The blush is very pigmented and goes on very smooth. Definitely, it has a strong staying power. By the way, it looks kind of scary in the pan, but when I swatched it and saw this gorgeos golden sheen, I instantly fell in love with it.

I hate to see Cargo go at Sephora but I'm loving the 50% off! I got this for... $12.00!
Anyways, onto the product review... Rome is a orangey coral blush with golden shimmer. I was a bit scared because when I swatched this, it was super shimmery. Oddly enough, when applied to my cheeks, the shimmer is barely noticeable and it gives a wonderful glow.
I love Cargo blushes and their consistency :)

it reminded me of Nars Orgasm with a redness undertone, it shows up really pretty on my fair Asian skin, I use it together with The Big Easy also from Cargo. Very pigmented, love the shimmer,normally I stay away from shimmery blushes. pefect blush for all year round.

Cargo has the best blushes by far! I've tried several of different shades over the years and love them all. The blushes are highly pigmented. You only need one or two gentle sweeps.
Cargo's "Rome" is great for the summer time. It gives you a healthy, sun-kised glow. The look is natural and youthful. The application is smooth, blendable and fool-proof. You get a beautiful glow everytime.
For $28, it's money well spent. Cargo blushes will last you a long time.

I was browsing Cargo's section at Sephora because I love the lipgloss and love the bronzer and while scanning the blushers this was the one that jumped out at me....completely peachy and it just screams summertime. I swatched it and it looked really intriguing on my skin, a sort of peachy sheen and its really quite a unique color. I wouldnt suggest it if you have a cool skin tone but otherwise go for it.

This is a gorgeous blush for my dark skin (MAC NW43, EDM TAN). It's great for an everyday healthy look.I love the shimmery coral color. Although the price seems a little high, you get a lot more blush in the container than MAC or NARS.

I bought this blush when I was trying to eek out the remnants of my summer coloring. I wanted a strong coral (DuWop's Diamondback is the best creme for this) but in powder form so it would be easier to use all over my face, not just on the apples of my cheeks as with the DuWop creme blush. I love the impact of color it gives, though it's too strong for me now, I'm excited for summer so I can finally wear this. It can get a bit too orange, pumpkin-face if you've not seen the sun in months.... When I was able to wear this thanks to some sun on my face, I used this as a bit of an eyeshadow and got tons of compliments on my eyes themselves. I returned NARS Amour after finding this as that shade fell flat compared with this. If you're a medium yellow undertone and looking for a great blush that compliments well with bronzer, this is it. I think Cargo makes the best blushes out there.

Goodness! What a great color! Let's get rid of 3/4 of that glitter and maybe then I'll buy it. MU remover didn't even get all the glitter off-yikes! This might be a good blush for fun, for a night out, for someone in their early 20s--but definitely not for work or if you are shooting for a more mature/sophisticated look.

For tan skin, this is a beautiful blush. Really brightens up my face and makes me looks like I just returned from a tropical vacation! Doesn't show as orangey or shimmery on my skin. Just a pop of peach on my cheeks. Goes well with Cargo SuedeBlush in Gold Coast used as a highlighter. I like the Cargo tins, they are easy and last forever. UPDATE: I prefer Cargo SuedeBlush in Gold Coast for my skin tone.

LOOOVE this! i always go the dramatic, kim kardashian eye look so i never wear blush or strong lip color. but the lady at sephora suggested i try it. i have very deep dark/tan skin, (Tan in bare minerals) and it looks phenomenal on me! i love the slight gold shimmer, it really highlights my face.
*definetley not for lighter skin tones, my mom is pretty tan, but not as dark as me and shes a bit too light to pull it off.

I bought this blush to use on my cheeks with a bronzer all over my face. I have olive skin and dark brown eyes and hair. I love it! It really gives me sun kissed look and a little more definition on my cheek bones. I thought that the price was a bit much, but you do get a good sized container for the money. What I do not like about the packaging is that the top of the tin that it comes in doesn't stay on so well if you were going to put it in a bag for travel. I was having a hard time finding something that gave the look of a day in the sun w/ a little pink of my cheeks that would actually show up. Finally I found it! I saw that the other review mentioned that the staying power is not good. I have to disagree wholeheartedly. I applied my moisturizer this morning and then my all over face powder bronzer and then the blush and it is now 4pm and I have worked all day and it looks just as fresh. I also forgot to mention that I live in Florida and it is July! Hope this review helps out!

This is the first blush I bought. The color is pretty, but the quality kind of sucks. It could last on only for about 2 hours on me, and my skin is very dry. The price is too high for the quality. It is almost as expensive as Nars blush, the qualith of which is much better than it.
