My Experience: Okay, I totally have a blush crush! I received this blush from a trial company that I was subscribed to, and I fell in love. You can apply a light amount for everyday wear or continue adding more for a dramatic look. I have noticed this blush stays on for most of the day, but I generally reapply a small amount later in the evening if necessary. For the best results, I use my powder mineral foundation first (see previous post!), and I apply the blush on top of that. Whatever you do, do NOT cover your whole cheek in blush. Generally, blush should go along your cheekbones, which are higher up on the cheek. Cosmopolitan has a great article that better explains blush application techniques in regard to face shape.

The color that I use is called “Tango,” and it makes you want to do just that! Some may say pink cheeks and platinum blonde is totally Barbie-ish, but I really enjoy the pop of color. The Tango color has a matte finish, so it doesn’t add any unwanted shimmer to the cheeks. Some people like shimmer in their blush, but I personally like shimmer elsewhere on the face, such as in the eye shadow. If a brighter pink isn’t your color, no problem! HIKARI offers 6 other shades for different skin tones including other shades of pink as well as bronze shades for better contouring. See my next post to help find your match!
