When
I picked up the Tarte Airblush Maracuja Blush from Sephora, I never thought I’d
love it quite as much as I do!
The
Tarte Airblush Maracuja Blush is a cream blusher with a totally unique formula,
which makes it unlike anything else. It’s a highly pigmented blusher which is
just packed with beautiful colour, It aims to give you an airbrushed look.
My
blusher is in the shade ‘shimmering pink’ and you’d be forgiven for thinking my
blusher looks a bit battered, but in fact this is how it comes out of the box.
It has a formula that looks like it’s separated but in fact it hasn’t, which is
a bit worrying when you don’t know this before hand! The formula is just
exquisite, I cannot really find the words to describe it. It’s really light and
very soft, you just have to dab in your brush and then you smooth it onto your
cheeks. It gives a lovely colour which blends beautifully! Tarte actually say
the ‘formula melts into the skin’ and I happy to agree. Even though the
pigmentation of this is really strong, the overall look is very soft and very
natural! It’s buildable too, so if you want a more dramatic blusher look you
can build it up for more of a pop!
I
actually use my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to apply this, it’s the only
time I’ve ever used the brush for anything other than foundation. Because it’s
so densly packed, it’s perfect for picking up the colour of the uber soft
blusher and blending it out, without damaging the compact! The only problem I
do have with this blusher is that the pigmentation doesn’t seem to last very
long, if you have an important day planned, you’d probably need to reapply it
after a few hours! I need to try it out with a primer to see if the staying
power is a bit better!
I’m
completely addicted to this blusher, I cannot get enough and desperately want
the other colours available! I actually cannot believe I haven’t heard about
anyone else raving about this blusher, it’s definitely a hidden gem!
