I don’t
think I have blogged about MUA solo blushes
so I
thought today would be the day to remedy that.
MUA solo
blushes come in 6 shades and are part of the £1 range!
As with all
the regular MUA cosmetic line this is simply packaged
In what has
now become MUA’s trademark uniform-
Black and
transparent plastic casing with a silver font.
It looks
sleek and professional not to mention more expensive than it’s £1 price point,
it is easy
to stop what shade is housed inside thanks to the clear lid
and the
packaging does a fairly decent job of protecting what is inside
but word of
warning the powder blushes are fairly soft
and do
shatter easily.
Shade 2 is
a muted dusky pink cool toned shade
The tones
of pink and blue blend together To give
a natural flush of colour
to the
cheeks that looks flushed but almost plum in a sense –
it is gives
a similar effect to Benefit Dallas although the shades are not all that
similar.
Shade 2 is
cool toned but not overly so, so warm tones can wear this too,
I would
like to quickly mention that shade 2 is not a matte shade
but one
with finely dispensed shimmer that does not highlight any flaws
and gives
the general impression of radiance.
Unsurprisingly
the pigmentation of this blush is really good,
one swipe
through was all I needed for my swatch
and for
application one swipe was more than enough for both cheeks.
Shade 2 has
great colour pay off without being chalky.
The formula
is soft so do tread lightly or you will smash the pan,
which I
have personally done on occasion.
The blush
wears really well – on un-primed skin around 5/6 hours
and on
primed skin around 8 hours before any signs of wear appeared,
that is
on oily skin so normal/dry skins should have a longer wear time.
Product

Round Up –

I think this is the one I have and the first time I used it I made the mistake of not tapping off the excess... it was awful lol! Soo pigmented!
ReplyDeleteI love this brand for a £1 you can't go wrong, great review x

ReplyDeletei really like Shade 2- it's actually quite similar to Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Babyface (my post: http://werewolfcubes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/tarte-amazonian-clay-blush-in-dollface.html). Great review!

Ahh, Shade 2 was the first one I bought and I love it. Accidentally picked up Shade 1 when I ran out, and although it's alright, I think it'll look better with a tan! Oops...
