I received several items from the Illamasqua’s SS13 makeup collection I’M Perfection and today want to show you one of the blushers.
It is a Powder Blusher Duo (£26) in Katie (Candy Pink) and Ambition (Neutral).
Although I love cream blushers more, and I do adore the brand’s Rude, I like Illamasqua’s powder blushers, as well. I have actually featured one, in Allure, already.
Here is how the duo looks like, I love the sleek package and the big and handy mirror inside.
Illamasqua powder blushers are very pigmented, so you will need a tiny amount of the product. They are also smooth and not chalky, which means that it’s easy to blend the product into the skin.
As for these particular shades – Katie is a light baby pink, it should look awesome on fair skin tones and may look ashy on medium/darker skins. As for Ambition, it is a warmer and darker shade with golden shimmer, which should look beautiful on a lot of skin tones. Just make sure that you don’t go overboard with it, as the shimmer (as it is with all shimmer) is pretty visible under electric light.
Here are the swatches.
There are two more duos to choose from: a new addition – Beg (Dusky Rose) and Bronzerella (Copper Broze) and Lover (Soft apricot) and Hussy (Candy Pink).
This looks just right up my alley. Thanks for the review and swatches.
It’s a pleasure and, yes, I can totally see you with such shade)
