PROS: Beautiful soft finish. Definitely blendable/buildable. Nice that a mirror comes in the compact.


CONS: Maybe just a bit too much shimmer. (The size of the "glitter" is just a little big for my taste. I like it very, very subtle.) Price.


ALTERATES: I also love Lorac & Bobbi Brown blushes. For DS, I like Revlon Powder Blushes or CoverGirl Cheekers (if you don't mind that covergirl/noxema smell.)

Great soft formula that glides on and leaves beautiful glow on cheeks. They have some great colours, but not enough range. My favourite is number 2, it gives a beautiful fresh flush to my cheeks without looking obvious. The powder is so soft and doesn't go patchy while you're applying it.

I'm fair skinned (MSF 2) with blue eyes and blond hair, and pink/red undertones to my skin-- I never would have thought that #5 was the right shade for me.

The Armani SA explained that because I have a lot of redness in my skin, this would be a good blush to neutralize my skin tone and not look any redder.

She was right- sheer blush #5 adds color and contour without making me look like I've just run up six flights of stairs. And it doesn't look powdery or makeupy at all on the skin.

$40 is pricey, but I don't mind paying that price for something I will wear every day.

This is definately one of the best blushes. It goes on quite powdery, but is ideal for combination/dry skins and last ages!

I have this sheer powder blush in shades 1 and 2 and wear them together. On my pale LSF #2 skin they work together to give a subtle baby-like glow. The texture is very fine for a powder blush, and I love the fact the shimmers are not visible on the face, it just looks healthy and smooth.

Stopped by Saks in Boston and noticed the large sign reading "Giorgio Armani," so I decided to stop by for a quick makeover.

The SA tried on neutral colors that enhanced my LLL complexion, one of which is #5 blush, a color that looks like a matte bland brown in the case but goes on a rosy beige that does nothing but enhance my bone structure!

I want to try more of this line...I think I am hooked. I plan on ordering the famous #2 blush next month for my birthday.

This is one of my favourite blushes - it's soft and sheer and applies like a dream. There's a very slight shimmer to it that creates a soft glow on your skin. I have this is #6 (a soft pink/brown), but am thinking getting more.

So far I have bought Giorgio Armani sheer powder blush in #1 and #6. I have #2 on order and will probably purchase #3 and #7 in the near future. I love everything about this product. The packaging is so gorgeous and elegant. The texture of the blush is smooth and natural looking. The colors so beautiful and divine. I think Giorgio Armani is a genius.

I had never notice what's the difference between a "great" blush and "normal blush" until I try this! I have this in #1 which is a very lovely and sweet sheer pink color. It goes on really sheer on your face and gives a very natural but polished finish that instantly brighten my whole face up! Bravo!

Armani's blushes surpass NARS, Sue Devitt, Bobbi Brown, Cargo and every other great high end blush. They are so smooth and silky, perfectly pigmented..I could go on and on. I have #5, a brown with a bit of pink and very slight shimmer. The only drawback is the black compact that you have to flip over to see what the color is, but it is very sleek and chic. $33 is worth it for these!

I usually don't wear powder blushes in the day because I find them too hard to apply naturally. After hearing all the raves I bought this in #2. You guys weren't kidding. This blush is awesome!! I love the compact and the color goes with so many looks. Now I take this, their palette and I'm done. This line is definately worth looking into.

I own #2, a peachy-under-roomlight-pinkish-rose-under-sunlight color with small goldish shimmers. What I love about this blush is that the shimmers are just right, it's shimmery enogh to make your cheeks sparkle but not too disco-shimmery like Nars Sin for example.

This is really, really good quality blush. Very fine texture, well pigmented, creates soft edges and no overly powdery look. My other favorite brands of blushes are Nars, Stila and Versace, and I think I might have to go out on a limb and say, quality wise, this beats those. At $33 dollars each, it ought to. I have shade #1, which is a pale pink (paler and brighter than Stila Tutu, brighter also than Cargo Catalina but similar to both those colors) that has tiny tiny microsparkles that don't translate to sparkles on the face but lend a glowy effect. Shade #2 is a deeper warmer pink that registers on me as a sort of windblown/sunburn effect, a very natural flush that looks like it comes from my natural skin tone. Comes in a nice round compact with a mirror.

I bought this in shade No.1 whic h is a gorgeous matte baby/ pale pink that has enough pigment so it actually shows up on fair skin and looked incredibly beautiful.It is the only color out there that i tried that showed up. I spoke to the SA about Nars Orgasm and how many women are unhappy that it was made too sheer to show up but such a pretty color, Armani No.1 is a similar soft pink without the gold and peach tones if that helps give a visual. Fortunately, Armani was an exception.Its probably th only pale true pink on the market that had the correct amount of pigment in it. Now thbis color is very soft and pastel.Lovely and it glides on easily and stayed true to color. i loved it over LSF with loose powder to set it.i am anxious to buy a few more of this lines blushes.It also didnt irritate my sensitive skin and all around was superb.The price was about20USD and only one application was necessary on my face and it seems to last a good while.

Armani blush is certainly the rival of NARS ones. They are pigmented and long-lasting.

And the packaging, it's just the best! =)
