Powder Blusher - Lover

I kick myself for not purchasing more Illamasqua powder blushes when they were widely available in the US. Lover is a great shade. The quality is great; the powder is extremely finely-milled and silky, and it blends out beautifully. It's a pigmented light apricot color that looks amazing on light, warm-toned skin. There's nothing else like it in my collection.

As the color is very intense, there is no problem with getting the true-to-pan color on your cheeks. One tap on the blush gives you quite bold color on the cheeks. For an even bolder look, 2-3 swipes of blush is more than enough. The blushes are easily blended so if you do over-do it, there is still hope. The only annoying thing with Illamasqua powders, since they are extremely dry, is that they …Read more

I ran out of my fav blush, MAC's utterly Game, which has been discontinued. This is a fine replacement, and the tone is flattering but it's not a HG blush simply because it just looks a bit flat- maybe because it's so matte. It's a lovely shade though- fresh looking- you can actually pile this on, despite it being hyperpigmented because the shade is so delicate

I love Illamasqua blushes! Love is peach coloured matte finish blush. The texture is soft and buttery and no shimmer at all. It brings life to your face. It's a really great spring and summer blush for my Nc40-42 skin tone. Illmasqua blushes are so pigmented that you need a light hand with most of their blushes. However it's great for us medium to dark skin toned gals as we can build up …Read more

I'm not normally a blush person, but since my skin has gotten better over the last six months, I've kind of gotten into it. Lover is one of my more recent blush purchases, and it is so gorgeous! It's a matte, clean apricot that somehow does not look chalky at all when applied. The color is very different fom blushes I've stuck with in the past (boring nudes and pinky-peaches) …Read more

This is what a peach blush is supposed to look like. It's not orange nor is it a coral, it is just straight up peach. Illamasqua has the best texture right next to Chanel blushes except these are more pigmented. It's so soft to the touch. It might look scary and chalky from the pan since it is a matte but it just melds nicely onto the skin. It blends effortlessly so it's perfect if …Read more

Hands down. The most beautiful peachy pink color ever discovered. It's matte, it's long lasting (from 6 AM to 4 PM), it suits and adjusted your skin tone very well. It's soft and finely milled, easy to apply, doesn't dry out and flaky, doesn't accentuate large pores. I am so in love with this. However, it still has some downsides; packaging without mirror, and it's …Read more

NC 25/30. Adding another yay vote for this lovely peachy blush. Super soft (and it does kick up a bit of powder if you swirl brush too hard, but doesn't look powdery or cakey on face), pigmented and applies like a dream. Very impressed w/quality and I'm definitely paying attention when Illamasqua comes out w/new blushes. As to color, it's not that unique -- and frankly I …Read more

This is a beautiful apricot colored blush that goes on the exact same color as in the pan! It is really amazing how pigmented Illamasqua products are. I am pale, and this blush looks great on me. I also have a friend who looks beautiful with this on and she has pretty dark skin. Totally recommend this blush for every skin tone and everyone!! You won't regret it.

I would repurchase this over and over again if I needed to but I doubt I ever will because the pigmentation is extraordinary. You only need the tiniest amount to dust over your cheeks & it just brightens up the complexion. I love the soft vanilla scent too. This is really finely milled and I love that it's matte. This is no doubt my favourite powder blush from my collection.
