Hey Beauties!
I went a little crazy in Illamasqua yesterday, i spent my voucher from the Debenhams Press Show so I got a few bits and pieces from Illamasqua.
I bought the Powder Blush Duo in Katie and Ambition because one was really sparkly and the other was Katie which I needed a new one of anyway
Colour/Pigmentation
Illamasqua Blushes are so highly pigmented you really do need to use a light hand when applying as if you apply to much you will get the clown cheeks and no one wants that.
Katie would be great for those of you who are really pale, its a soft pink tone that wont scream out Makeup! rather a soft rosey lush.
Ambition is a medium pink with warm undertones, it reminds me of NARS Orgasm but more of a plum tone than a pink tone which would look great on medium skin tones and darker skin tones. The glitter in this blush isn't actually massively disco ball glitter as it seems to melt into skin to provide this really flattering glow
Wear Time
Packaging
Price and where to buy
You can purchase the Blush Duo's from www.illamasqua.com or from any Illamasqua Counter. They retail for £26 for 2g per blush
The Good and The Bad
The Good?- They are really pigmented so will last all day
The Bad?- Sometimes the product smashes ive had a powder or 2 smash on me before
What is your favourite Illamasqua Blush?

I actually got this a few days ago but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I'm very pale so I'm glad to hear that Katie is good for pale skin tones. I have heard several people say Illamasqua blushers are really good so looking forward to trying it out.

Oh my goodness, those are gorgeous! I love Katie, it's such a feminine shade! I've been hearing good things about Illamasqua and have been dying to try. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking about getting one of the blushes but I never do because every single blush I've used looks cartoonish on me, no matter how I apply it - I don't want to splash out on something that I'll probably chuck in a drawer and never use, bit they look so nice on others!
ReplyDeleteKatie is perfect for really pale people because it just adds that pop of colour to the cheeks and a big plus they dont look powdery as they kind of absorb into the skin
ReplyDeleteYou should try it, its only makeup after all what you just need to do is have a light hand when applying and if you go to far take some of your foundation over it and buff it down a little x
ReplyDeleteYoure welcome Thanks for commenting!
