In recent months I've seen my pores... grow. This has seen me dispose of my shimmery blushes as they've emphasised the volcanic craters on my face. Due to this I recently bought the Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in First Class (as part of a gift set) as it looked decidedly unshimmery.
I now need more shades. The blush blends on this skin without any effort. It gives a natural flush and looks wonderful. Most importantly it does not emphasise my pores.
It lasts well. It doesn't go patchy. This is my new favourite blush. Would recommend.
One of my purchases when I bankrupted myself at Sephora inside South Coast Plaza. I only purchased this blush because of it's cult following and decided to see if this would be worth the money and it is.
There is a slight shimmer to this shade (Dazzled), which gives me a healthy glow. It's a smooth blush and isn't very powdery and goes on the skin quite nicely. Dazzled is ideal if you have cool undertones. It's a perfect rose-pink and very natural looking.
As an aside from the Dazzled shade, I was lucky enough to be given the Chic to Cheek Christmas 2014 gift set and the colours in that were two colours that I normally wouldn't wear, but I absolutely love and wear just as well as the permanent line blushes.
I'm not sure I could say that I get 12 hours of wear, I definitely get 8 hours. If I can't decide on a blush, this is my go to!
