Finding your perfect blush is never easy. After multiple swatches and purchases, the search always seems to continue. However, while I was returning from London last month, I think I might have found mine.
Estée Lauder's Pure Color Blush in Blushing Nude ($28) is a gorgeous pinky-peach shade that above all else looks natural on the cheeks.
But before diving straight into color - I want to take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is the Estée Lauder packaging. The gold, reflective packaging is stunning and the mirror inside is massive and very useful for travel purposes. Although I could do without the brush, it's nice to have for emergency instances.
Moving back to the color - it's labeled as a Satin finish, but I personally think it's Matte. There's no shine or shimmer in this shade, leaving you free to add your own or go without. It's also one of those colors that you have to try to overdo. It looks so natural on, that if you go a bit overboard it just makes you looked flushed and not like you dipped your face into paint that morning.
As far as application goes, this is also a dream come true. You don't need a lot of product to make it show up, but it's not so pigmented that it's hard to get the right amount. The texture is really nice, too. It's not chalky, at all; it blends really easily and it lasts about 6-8 hours, as well (which I consider to be pretty good).
This has fast become one of my favorite blushers that I own and I can't seem to go an entire week without wearing it a couple times! I'm definitely going to be picking up a few more of these soon.
