L'Oreal Paris True Match Blush Review

Very pretty blush, i bought it as it was the cheapest in the store at the time and i didnt have much money on me, its cute, does the job, it's a decent size which i love, so definitely value for money.

I picked this up on sale in the shade Nectarine, which is a pretty pinky salmony shade, which I was very drawn to.

The packaging is quite lovely with the silver accents, and has a relatively hardy plastic casing.

When swatching, the product has a silky feel and blends out nicely on the arm, however for some reason I struggled with applying it to my face... it just looked like blush rather than a cute flush. It wasn't obviously there in colour - in fact it's great in that the pigment isn't too strong, but it didn't blend in all that seamlessly and seemed very obvious on the face, even after squirting with a setting spray to take the powder down. When bouncing it with a sponge I found it became patchy.

Unfortunately, I couldn't make this work, which is a pity because i had such high hopes.

This is a really nice blush. It comes in a range of really nice colours and seems to last on my skintone and gives me a nice glow. I have sensitive skin and this is nice and gentle.

It looks high end with it’s nice packaging and silver case. It’s a really good size that’s perfect to pop in your makeup bag.

This is another winner from L’Oréal and is just really good quality. Five stars out of five.

When it comes to blusher for me I don't really care if it's highly pigmented or not because while highly pigmented blusher can be value for money, it's very easy to make a mistake with strongly pigmented stuff and then your cheeks look too rosy. The pro is it is value for money as you only need a tiny tiny amount. The con with lowly pigmented blusher is aside from you going through the product faster because you use more of it is you may clog up your pores more because your caking on more powder and probably drying out your skin too as a result. This blusher is not very strong in pigment. This is packaged like the mono eye shadows and the blush sculpt. It's plastic not metal in case the gold tone made you wonder. This one looks pretty when on and ideal for beginners but expensive. I can't say if it's long lasting it depends on how your skin goes with it. If you can get them cheap and like the idea of building up colour go for it. The formula is not at all like the eye shadows that come in the same style of packaging. Now, the thing with vitamin C in cosmetics is it deteriorates rapidly. I'm not saying the blusher itself goes off fast I'm saying that the "healthy" benifits from the vitamin C in this products would be minimal if any unless you got a fresh batch of the product even then I wouldn't be sure. Though vitamin C has brightening properties among others.

Subtle colour payoff with subtle simmer -because of this, it does look very natural. You can't really mess up the application when you are using this blush.

I love the true match blush! It is very blendable so it gives a nice and natural finish to my skin and it has gorgeous colour pigments. It also makes my skin look fresh and awake. There is a wide range of colours so l find it easy to find a colour that matches my skin well.

I got this at one of those big bucket sales at Alexandra Park, Auckland. Absolutely love it, it isn't very pigmented which is what I love about it. Going by the RRP listed above, I wouldn't say that it would be worth that much but I bought it on sale for about $10 which was definitely worth it. As "emzor" has mentioned, it would be good for beginners, as a basic starter

These blushes are available in some really pretty colours and I have a few of them. I like them, but they are not my favourite.

They are not very pigmented, the colour needs to be built up on your cheeks - but once it is, it looks beautiful.

The packaging is too small in my opinion, I struggle to get the product on even my smallest blush brush.

This product is way over priced, the only ones I have ever bought have been from sales. I will never pay full price for these as I don't think they are worth it.

A very mediocre blush, good for beginners, and when you are just learning to apply blush because you can build it up and you're not going to put too much on.
