Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Rude

 
 
 
 

My life is finally complete now that I have this in my sweaty little paws! It took me month and months of torturing myself with Google image searches of swatches and reading rave reviews before this came back in stock and I finally had my hands on it. 

Rude is a another addition to my peachy cheek product rampage, it leans more towards an orangey peach than a 'warm peach pink' as it's described in the pan but once applied and blended out on my pale complexion the pink does show. I don't know how suitable this would be for someone with oily skin as the formula is very, very creamy (I know it's a cream blusher so that goes without saying!) fortunately my skin is more dry than anything so once applied it leaves a lovely dewy finish but I could see that on oily skin this could look more greasy than glowy. I dab this on my cheeks with my fingertips and then blend it out with the Real Techniques stippling brush, the colour can be as subtle or as bright as you like it because it's very buildable and blends like a dream. I don't know if because it is so creamy it slides off my face but I didn't find the lasting time to be amazing although it might just be this beautiful weather because my make up never seems to fair very well in hot weather but please Mr Sun, don't leave us, I can take one for the team and carry the burden of my make up moving off my face!

  2. This is such a lovely shade!
    I've found cream blushes tend not to have as good as staying power as powder blushes.
    I've been meaning to try a few Illamasqua products but some are so pricey!

    1. I find that as well! They definitely are quite pricey but such good quality although my poor bank doesn't understand that quality = dollar so I usually wait until there's a discount code floating around ;) xx
