More of a pale highlight than blush

I got given this product from a friend and I'm not a big blush fan so I don't mind it as its not very strong. its does have a nice sheen to it so it is more of a pale highlight and very faint blush.

Tips: Don't worry about putting to much on, as its not very pigmented

Do you even blush?

I got given this product by a friend and I'm really glad I didn't pay for this, this is one of the most disappointing products I have ever used. It looks super cute in the packaging so I had such high hopes!

This is one of those products your meant to swirl with your brush/finger to "mix" the components to get your blush shade. Which is a nice idea, if it actually had any pigment. I am super pale and this blush doesn't show up on my skin at all. I've tried both brush and finger and nothing can make this product show up on my skin. The formula is super chalky and its pretty much impossible to even build it up. All it leaves behind are glitter particles.

Tips: Don't waste your time or your money. Just don't. literally anything is better than this....Would give it 0 stars if I could.

Does nothing

This was the first Almay product I've ever used, and I was not impressed. The blush comes in a plastic, see-through compact, and comes with a small brush (which is attached in the back). It looks unique and promising, as the blush itself is light pink, with a darker pink spot design over it.

However, when you apply it, I feel like nothing happens. The colour fails to show up on my skin, and it doesn't even show up on my wrist, where my skin colour is alot lighter. Will definitely not be purchasing again.

Almay Smart Shade Blush

I brought this at farmers as they had 50% off, i got it in shade Coral and it looked like it would be nice for the a warmer look, but i find the colour to be a bit off if you wipe it across your finger its light and shimmery however when i put it on your cheeks it looks very orange with the colour being built up and looks odd because it doesn't blend the best. I think i will keep it until summer time when i don't look so pasty and use as bronzer and to add some shimmer

Not Almay's best

Usually I love Almay products, they are one of my go to brands, but I didn't love this blush. The colour is nice but not very opaque once applied. It leaves you with more of a shimmer powder effect than a blush. I was wanting to try the bronzer which looks similar but depth of colour from the blush has put me off.

Almay Smart Shade Blush

I received this a Free gift with purchase. Stoked! Because I am fair, this shows on my skin as a light pearl sheen. If the foundation is properly set etc it is very faint, howver if it goes onto a dewy dewy finish it tend to show up better. It has a nice pale pink colour within the sheen, and is subtle for work or "no make up looks". I wear just cause I have it but I dont think I will repurchase it again.

Tips: Try as a highlighter instead of throwing it out if you received it as a GWP.

Almay Smart Shade Blush

ARGH I found this blush super chalky, not the texture but the look, it was a strange colour and did not blend in at all really, once I got it blended as well as I could it was very white/powdery and looked more like a fair foundation powder. I paid $8 secondhand on facebook for it and feel really let down. Would not recommend it

I'm still not blushing?

I was so disappointed in this product. Thankfully I got it cheap at a sale as I was curious and wanted to try it out. I felt like more concentration was on the glimmer and there was no pigmentation in the actual blush colour! No matter how much I applied it did not deliver to my satisfaction. I felt you could barley see any blush, waste of time applying as I used another over top!

This blush did not make me blush....

I found that there was no colour pay off, I had to keep applying this layer after layer to get any sort of effect. And rather than having a nice, pink sheen on my cheeks I was left with what resembled a baby pink shimmer powder on my cheeks. I was hoping that there would be more of a colour pay off. I would not buy again! Thankfully I received this as a free gift from Farmers because I would not buy this.
