BRUTALLY HONEST REVIEW:
all the VIRAL blushes I've tried
Transcript
Welcome back to another brutally honest review. Today I'm reviewing every single viral blush that I've tried. And as always, honesty only here because I am not afraid to get kicked off PR lists. It has happened before. It will happen again. Let's get into it. First up, I'm gonna do both of these together because I've noticed they're literally like the same formula. I don't know if the ingredients are exact, but when I use these, they behave the exact same way. We have the "Fenty Beauty" Glossy Blush Balm from Haus Labs and the Kosas "Impressed" Multi-stick. Both of these have a very dewy finish. I would say like sheer to medium pigment. They are very easy to work with. They're not patchy, they last on my face. Both of them are $34. But the only real difference I could find is that the Kosas has 0.5 more grams of product. So I guess get the Kosas for more product or just pick whatever shade you want between these. Next up, controversial. We have the "Patrick Ta" Major Glow Double-Take Luminous Blush Duo and his liquid transition brightening blush. There is a lot of controversy over both of these. When I first reviewed them, I did not know about all of that. I thought this was a cool launch because I thought it would make it easier for makeup artists to have this kind of like artistry focus, blurring blush system. But as more news came out and I realized all of the controversies surrounding these launches and painted by Ester, I would say save your money. And not only because of that, but also because there are way more affordable ways to recreate that blurred blush look. Next up, we have the Rare Beauty "Soft Pinch" Liquid Blush. This has matte shades and dewy shades. I absolutely love this. This definitely deserves to be viral. It's heavily pigmented but doesn't blend out patchy. It lasts on my face throughout the day. This is truly an incredible blush. Next up, we have the Hourglass "Ambient Lighting" Blush. This gives such a beautiful, glowing, diffused blush look. It's not patchy at all. It lasts on my face, but the reality is, it is expensive. And you know who duped them phenomenally well? Covergirl. This is the Covergirl "Skin Enhancer" Baked Luminous Blush. This is the closest dupe I've ever found to the Hourglass. It is essentially like the same and a fraction of the price. So obviously, if you're choosing between the Hourglass and this, get this one. Next up, this is by far one of my favorite products from Rhode. This is their pocket blush. This is a cream stick blush. It is heavily pigmented. It blends out beautifully. It has a natural finish. I would just really recommend picking it up and applying it that way instead of swiping it directly onto your face. It makes it way easier to blend out smoothly. Next up, we have the Saie Dewy Blush. Absolutely love this stuff. It's a moment for the doe foot because it's simply the best. This has such a beautiful dewy finish, obviously. It's definitely a more sheer blush formula, but it's very easy to build up if you want a bit more of that flush of color. It lasts all my face, all my routine. I really, really like this. Part 2 coming tomorrow. I promise.
