a blush phase and mostly those of the pink variety.
Illamasqua Tremble is not a shade that seems to be blogged about all that often instead when it comes to
picking Illamasqua blush shades most tend to go for Lover and Hussy.
Not that I blame anyone for making such choices as I own and adore both but I do want to give you a little
nudge, wink and suggestion in the form of Tremble.
Illamasqua packaging is nothing special and does feel a little cheap due to the overly plastic finish
but it more than does the job of protecting the contents inside which in this case is a blush.
What I do want to say in favour of Illamasqua is that their packaging is instantly recognisable
which must be tricky within such a vast market place and the other aspect that I enjoy about the Illamasqua
blushes is that each have a transparent window allowing you to see at a quick glance which shade is which -
particularly helpful if you have a good few of said brand's blushes in your stash.
Illamasqua Tremble is listed on the Illamsaqua site as a "soft lilac pink" which you can probably tell from
the photos that it is not but is in fact a bright pink coral that isn't world's apart from the likes of Illamasqua
Lover but this shade is slightly more pink - Lover leans slightly more towards the orange end
of the coral spectrum.
Despite being listed as a lilac pink which suggests it would lean cool in tone, I find Tremble
to have a fairly yellow undertone resulting in it being neutral but I do want to warn you that if you apply
this too heavily it becomes stark and ashen so perhaps not the best choice for those with a deep skin tone.
Tremble is a matte blush which is finely milled, soft in texture so it picks up
really well on a brush and blends like a dream yet is firm enough to withstand general wear and tear.
It is also extremely light on the skin despite providing high colour pay off.
At the moment I am really enjoying matte formulated blushes as they don't highlight my enlarged pores
and seem to work rather well with my oily skin, you can also use matte formulas to contour!
I find this formula to wear around 8/9 hours on my oily skin before signs of wear appear.
As some may know I am a huge MAC and NARS fan when it comes to blushes
but I do feel that Illamasqua may have pipped them to the post as I can not recommend their blushes enough,
even if there is slightly less product!

I've considered this for so long, amen to some Sunday Girl swatches to help my decision ;) this looks quite alike to MAC Pinch O Pinch, which I once had but found it a little ashen on my skin tone too x
ReplyDeleteYay glad I could help :) this one does become ashen but only if you really cake it on otherwise you are golden :)
DeleteLooks gorgeous! Great review, love a good matte blush!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) me too!

ReplyDeleteMe too, only Tarte really comes close to them in terms of colour pay off wouldn't you agree?

ReplyDeleteSo glad it looks as great in your pics as it did on my first google for swatches!

This is so pretty :) I have two eye-shadows from Illamasqua which I won in a giveaway and I've never used them. (white one and a purple one) but I may give them a go now :) As this blush has made me lust after some more products from them. I better check I like their shadows first ;) ha xo
