Art Deco Bronzing Glow Blusher

I really loved wearing this bronzer. Because you can build up the level of colour you want, I still look natural wearing it in winter. It is light on the face, as in I didn't feel like I had powder caked on. I was complemented on my healthy glow whenever I wore it! Can't wait to try it out in summer to see how it works with slightly darker skin

I loved the look of the case (yes - quite unimportant in the scheme of makeup as you don't put the case on your face.... but it makes me feel special whipping it out of my bag). More than that though, I loved the look of the powder. The array of colours was just so appealing - especially as they were all soft and pretty looking - something I look for in a blush as I don't want a scary clown look and am continually paranoid about my blending techniques. I found with this though that I could just swish my blush brush over the lot and it somehow miraculously creates a great colour on my cheeks. I'm not skilled enough to have tried tinting it more one way or another colour wise, but this is also because I haven't felt the need to try

This blush is really beautiful, and the packaging is so cute! There is a few different colors in this blush, that look great applied together or separately. I love to use this product on a day I don't want to wear bronzer, as it gives a good amount of glow and color to the face. The formula is nice, its fine and not chunk, but its not crazy pigmented. I find I need to use quite a heavy hand to get the color pay off that I desire. This is great for people starting out with make up, but means you will use the product up faster. However the pan is pretty big, and I think a good amount for the price.

This isn't a heavily pigmented product, and doesn't have a lot of shine, so I found this perfect for daytime. I found it hard to build up enough for an evening look, so would recommend if you prefer a more subtle blush/bronzer, and love absolutely gorgeous packaging!

I got this from Beautybay.com purely because the packaging was so beautiful! The blush, on first use, was quite 'meh' - and I have to confess I pushed it to the back of the cupboard and wasn't too impressed. Clearly I was having an off day: I found it again a few months ago - and decided it's beautiful! I use an all over swish of all the colours combined (using a Real Techniques Blush Blush) and the overall look is a warm peachy coral colour with a faint shimmer. Such a pretty product. I am a MASSIVE fan of Art Deco - I think they are one of the best drugstore priced cosmetics companies on the market in NZ. Definitely check this range out if you haven't already.

As I was browsing the Art Deco stand thinking I really need to buy more of this brand to see what it is all about I spotted this blusher in it's pretty packaged goodness and it jumped off the shelf and into my basket....the sneaky little thing!

Packaging wise this is what sold me first and foremost, followed by the words "limited edition" I didn't need another blush, I mean who needs 25+ blushes really, but the packaging oh my!! It comes in a heavy squared brown gold toned compact case with a printed lid that is full of paisley patterns of pink and purple, with hints of gold it all just looks luxurious. Open up the compact and on the inside of the lid is an inserted mirror and the pressed into place blush with has a pattern relief over it's surface mimicking the pattern on the lid of the compact with a blend of brown, purple and pink blush hues.

Formula wise it is a powder blush but it has the quality of a cream for it's blending ability, swirling a big blush brush over the entire surface to get a little of each colour then popping it onto your cheeks sees an instant high glow dusty rose shade which on my fair skin was a little intense, but removing the excess from the brush and using it to blend back the blush which it did obediently and in a manner similar to a cream blush leaving a hint of the dusty rose with a faint golden shine that just made me look fresh and recently returned from a beach break without being over the top in it's bronzing that it looked muddy.

This is great for coverage and I found that it was still on my face, where I plastered it upon my return home at the end of the work day so it lasts all day! I have fallen a little in love with the Art Deco brand and recently brought another limited edition blush...yes another one!

The Art Deco Bronzing Glow Blush is beautiful and light, but not very versatile. It is a product for warm seasons only; a summer blush. I will certainly continue to use this product but perhaps not re-purchase it as its uses are limited.

The colour is beautiful and I was impressed when I first opened the compact because it is not overly shimmered nor too pink. The powder is very soft with a light-to-medium colour pay-off. This makes the bronzing blush fool proof to use because you will never apply too much! However, because the product is so light it easily powders; so while 9 grams is a decent amount of product, most of this will likely never make it to your face!

The product comes in beautiful Art Deco inspired packaging with a handy mirror in the compact. I'd be happy to carry the Bronzing Glow Blusher with me during summer... but unfortunately I may have to pack it away for the remainder of winter until my tan comes back!

This blush has gorgeous colours but the staying power for me is just not there. When I put this on in the morning in my bathroom it looks great and a nice flush to my cheeks, but in daylight I cannot see it AT ALL. I would have to put on a lot for it to show up at all, but I'm not comfortable with doing that and risk looking like a clown. It is also quite powdery and I can't swirl my brush in it, I have to dip it or the powder goes everywhere and far too much comes off on the brush. I don't know, I just think this was a miss for me personally, but I will use it up with other blushes layered because it was so expensive.
