Tarte Cosmetics Amazonian Clay Blush Review

I love these blushes! Tarte always has great products but this one blew the rest out of the park. There are so many color options and they work like a charm. Each and every one of them! I use mine everyday and I can either dress it up OR dress it down. Looks great either way! I can't wait to try out some more colors.

This is my first tarte blusher and I have found it to be one of my top favourite blush that I own.

The packaging of this blusher is so cute in its clay orange toned casing with the limited edition gold confetti type print on the lid. Inside there is a mirror recessed inside the lid. There is also a printed image that tarte places on all their blushes, that even after half a dozen uses hasn't faded away due to it being deep set into the powder, but also that with this powder blush you only need to lightly pick up a small amount on your brush to get enough to cover your cheeks.

Amazonian clay blush texture feels slightly chalky when you run your finger over the blush inside the compact but once on a brush is acts like a cream/powder blush for having a smooth, soft even application and blends really well to avoid any harsh lines. The pigmentation of this dusky peach/rose blend of the limited edition blush is rather intense so a little goes a long way but if you want more impact it is very easily buildable to achieve a more wow factor. It has a long lasting formula too that sees it sit still on my face for at least 10-12 hours before I remove at the end of the day.

This has me slightly hooked to try more of the tarte blushes

This was my first ever Tarte purchase and over a year later is still one of my favourite blushes. The packaging is sturdy, in a shade which matches the blush within and has a handy mirror inside the lid. It also has a gorgeous embossed pattern on the actual blush which has lasted well with regular use.

I own the shade 'Blushing Bride' which is a gorgeous natural rosey pink with a small amount of fine shimmer. I find this has a good level of pigmentation, not lacking in the colour department but not that intense that it's difficult to work with. I find this blends out on the skin easily and looks very natural, not powdery at all. It has a good lasting power, still looking great at the end of the day.

I would 100% these Tarte blushes! In my experience Tartes products are fantastic quality, perform fantastically and always come in adorable packaging...what more could you want :)

These are so pigmented, so long lasting and so good! I have way too many shades including heaps of the limited edition holiday blushes. I especially love the matte colours. They look so "soft" on the cheeks despite being so pigmented. They also seem to mattify my cheeks which works well for my combination skin. I just adore these.

I bought myself one of these blushes in the shade charisma after heading beauty gurus rave about them.

I was pleasantly surprised to find all the reviews completely true. The packaging is cute the blush i nice and secure. The shade I bought was is a mid tone peach with a little gold shimmer throughout. Super pigmented but in saying that it was still easy to apply with a fluffy brush. Just add a little bit at first and then build up. The shimmer was hardly noticeable on my skin which was good as I was worried that it would be too chunky.

This was a perfect shade for my super fair skin and I always get complimented when I wear it.

My sister received a Tarte blush as part of a Sephora birthday gift whilst in the USA and it is truly one of the most gorgeous blushes I have ever used. They shade I have tried is in Partyyyyy and the pigmentation is gorgeous! It gives the perfect wash of colour on my pale skin tone and is so long wearing. It is the perfect mauve, pink colour that really compliments all skin tones.

I will definitely be purchasing one of my own as you can buy it full sized so that I don't have to share with my sister!

The colors are super pigmented so a little really goes a long way! I have seen people over do this so be sure to use a fluffier blush brush! The color range is incredible and really has colors for every skintone, as a MUA I really appreciate that. It lasts longer than 12 hours for me if you are using a primer+ foundation+ setting powder/spray. It is truely a must have for events or anything you really want it to keep on for. I love that it works on oily skin and dry skin! It’s really hard to find products like that. Love love love.

I have two minis of this one in Ornate which is a gorgeous, summery pinky coral. I love this shade on me. And one in Thrilled which is a nude, beige with a mauve undertone which looks very similar to the shade pictured. I really like my Tarte blushes, I reach for them a fair bit. I wouldn't say the formula is really soft but I have no problem getting plenty of pigment on my brush and it blended out well and didn't look powdery. I've used this when I had dry skin and when I've had oily skin and it lasted the same amount of time. That being said I don't really have problems with my blush fading. I can still find my blush on my cheeks at the end of the day or my natural flush comes through and I don't need more blush. It's not one of those blushes with blurring properties in it but it doesn't emphasize my pores. It claims Micronized Amazonian clay helps control oil & infuse moisture for balanced skin & seamless blending. I haven't noticed it balance out my skin on my cheeks or any improvement for my skin as a result but this is a cosmetic not skincare so I'm not expecting to do that, I also don't reach for this everyday. I do like that the formula is free of mineral oil and hasn't made me break out. The shades I have are matte but I think they have some that have more sheen. I would recommend trying these if you want a nice, matte longwearing blush that won't look powdery or break you out.

I own 5 of these blushes. They are that good. All hauled from the USA - I can't help it every time i'm in sephora to pick a few more up.

The colour pay off is stunning and they blend really well. There is a wide range of shades to suit everyone.

I've also used a few of mine as eyeshadow when i've been in a pinch! The only thing i'll say is that the smaller holiday collections don't seem to be as pigmented. Is that just me?

The Tarte Amazonial Clay blushes are my all-time favourite! The shade "exposed" is my current favourite, as its a stunning matte nude-pink. These blushes go on smoothly and blend really well, and they're really buildable which is nice because you aren't too at-risk of clown face after one swipe of your brush! I find that they do a really good job of lasting all day (the 12 hour claim is no joke), even during summer in humid Auckland, when the rest of my makeup is sliding off my face after work.
