I can't help but add a little piece or two of Topshop make-up to each Topshop clothing order I place.
I bet you are now wondering what I ordered from Topshop haha. It's cool I'm nosey like that too!
I really do think Topshop's make-up packaging is cute and funky but it is the devil in a polka dot disguise! Think of NARS packaging and you have the general idea. Although Topshop packaging is not rubberised it does cling to dirt and grime like no other. That aside it does a great job of containing the product, look pretty and has a decent mirror inside.
Flush is a bright candy pink shade that actually swipes brighter than it appears. The shade applies clean and bright and has a blue undertone making it cool in tone. In pan form I actually find the shade intimidating, it looks a little clownish and if like me you have a heavy hand that is enough to put you off such a bright shade. Fear not once applied and blended (not swatched) it is actually a light pink shade that looks natural and not at all over the top.
Topshop Cream Blushes are soft but not so much so that they melt, they are firm to touch so you do not have to worry about over loading your brush or fingers. The pigmentation of these blushes is fairly high so I do suggest a less is more approach as it is easier to add than it is to remove.
You can build these blushes with ease and I don't see them being too stark on deep skin tones.
It's up to you how you apply these but I prefer using a Mac 187 brush as it helps to buff the colour in.
These build with ease and dry to a dewy finish, not matte nor wet/greasy looking. They are unscented and don't irritate my sensitive skin. Now you all know how I suffer from oily skin well I can report that these last longer than a powder formula. They work with the oil (eww) rather than against it and last a full 10 hours and still appear fresh. I just wish Topshop made more of a colour selection.

ReplyDeleteTopshop make up are good but you're right, the white packaging gets so dirty so quickly. At least mine has, anyway! Looks terrible in my make up bag! Thanks so much for the comment on my blog, I'm such a big fan of yours and I am so thrilled to hear from you! I always love how you photograph the products, I really liked the Look lipstick photographed with lovehearts sweets! And the oranges used in one of the posts below. I really love it when people make that extra effort. You are awesome! Happy weekend x

ReplyDeletethank you chica :) I have that one too it's just such a lovely shade :) x
DeleteI've browsed Top Shop and agree that the packaging always looks adorable. The color selection is more limited for international buyers but with all your positive reviews I feel I should just make the plunge and pick some up! This is really pretty. Seems like a good way to introduced myself to pinker blushes.
ReplyDeleteyou really should :) their new spring line should be out soon why not wait for it :) x

DeleteI completely agree about the packaging! Love Topshop's makeup line, I bought Coy lipstick the other day, but not getting the packaging in a mess, is almost impossible! Glad I'm not the only one!

ooh, might have to pick this up. i've never used a cream blush before always tend to stick to powder. i think you've convinced me to try this though :)

Looks lovely! I always stick to powder blush as I'm scared of how cream blushes will get along with my oily skin, but your review has set my mind at rest :) Might have to pick this one up.
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to admit that I am still yet to try Topshop makeup! This looks gorgeous though xxx
