Hey Beauties!
I always get asked how to make skin look so glowy, dewy but really natural. I usually get that glow on models by using Lies Cream Blush.
Illamasqua describes "Lies" as a Pearlescent Cool Pink which can be used as a cheek colour on really pale skin as it will come up as a really nice pale pink but can also be use as a highlight because it is quite pearlescent which is gorgeous, usually i would apply this over the foundation before slightly powdering. I place the highlight in specific places i want the light to hit.
Lies Cream Blush is so soft and easy to blend. I love the texture of these blushes, it reminds me of butter (hah) yes i know that sounds weird but it feels like the same texture so it does blend like butter.
Illamasqua describes their cream blushes as :
Tease, hypnotise, use to effect. Use Cream Blusher to highlight your cheekbones, shape your face, build and blend with fingers or a brush to create the colour intensity you desire. Use over foundation for impact, or under for a captivating glow. However you apply it, be daring.
Check out the Live Swatch!
Lies comes with 4g of product for £16.50 which is a good thing because MAC Crème Blend is £17.50 whereas you get 5.6g with that but Illamasqua Cream Blushes are so intensely pigmented you really dont need much.
Lies is avaliable from Illamasqua Counters and from Online at Illamasqua.com.

I love that this looks 'dewy' rather than resembling a grease ball or even worse a glitter ball. I need to really swatch this in the shop, I am yet to pop my Illamasqua cherry :-)
