Revlon Powder Blush Review

This product has a great range of colours and goes on smoothly however I found that it did not maintain the colour throughout the day - it was quite "flat" and wore off easily.

I'm a fan of Revlon products, they are my go-to for products I can generally get for an affordable price and if I'm in desperate need for a makeup item my local pharmacy stocks Revlon. A win for me!

The lipsticks and foundations I have been impressed with in the past, and when needing a new blush I went straight to this.

The packaging is stylish and sturdy. In a black well designed case that just looks good, and so standard for Revlon. Most Revlon products, like this are sleek and modern looking. It comes with a little brush, but it's not one I like to use, as my RT brush is far superior.

The formula is nice and using a sweep of blush over your cheekbones gives a nice hint of colour. The pigmentation isn't comparable to my holy grail nars blush, however. The blush has average staying power, it doesn't last as long as other blushes I have found, which is slightly disappointing

Overall, I'm normally a lover of Revlon products, but this one slightly missed the mark for me. An average product that I won't be repurchasing. I will stick with my other blushes that have awesome pigmentation.

I tried this packaged in its own compact like the picture the brush was nice and soft not all scratchy like some brushes are the colour was nice it was not too pink or orange rather a nice peachy pink and the pigment was not too strong which is a good thing because you do not want to add too much it was not crap either so like it suggests it is build-able intensity. It is powdery but not all chalky though or chunky mines all used up now. I would use again but I do not think I would pay full price as I am a bargin hunter unless its some thing I love. The lasting power is fair it depends on your base / foundation There is a nice amount of shades to choose from too they could make the packaging a little more exciting maybe but the brush is not too bad I worry that the plastic window part could break or fallout though.

This is my first revlon blush and will probably be my last.

The good: I got the shade classy coral which is a stunning soft coral color in the pan. I fell in love with the color at first sight and had to buy it. On my cheeks it makes me look young and lively, a very soft and subtle color. The powder was fine easy to pick up with my brush.

The bad: the color was nowhere near as pigmented when I tried to apply it to my cheeks. It felt powdery and just didn't want to stick to my face. I now prefer cream blushes way more over powder blushes because this just didn't want to cooperate. It also looked quite sheer so I had to try and pack on a couple sweeps for the color to actually show up.

Overall: I'm not really happy with the formula and feel of this blush. The color is stunning and now I'm on the hunt for a cream blush with similar colors.

I have this in the shade "Naughty nude" and it is my favourite blush in terms of colour. It looks so natural on my skin tone (fair-light). It was a subtle cheek colour but it just suited me so well and I have ended up wearing it a lot.

I apply it with my own brush and it seems to blend out pretty well. I suppose a down side is that it's not really that pigmented but I find that it actually works pretty well. I also own Nars Orgasm and probably turn to the Revlon product more when I want an everyday natural look.

It seems to stay on pretty well, it's still there when I take my make-up off at night.

I’ve been buying Maybelline master glaze blush stick in pinched pink for a while now: it’s been my blush of choice as I like using a creamy blush that glides on almost like a lipstick and blends in effortlessly. I can still get this blush on nzsale.co.nz, but I’m all too aware that this product has been discontinued. So I’ve been trying out different blushes out there to see if I can find something else before I can no longer buy my beloved master glaze blush stick.... Enter Revlon Powder Blush in orchid 018. Firstly, this particular shade is a lovely, soft, satiny pink colour! It looks absolutely gorgeous on my skin and I’m in love with the shade. It’s taking me a bit of getting used to using a powder blush though and I’m sure there’s an art to blending it perfectly - I find creamy blushes easier to use. But I’m sure that’s all down to what you’re used to. And it isn’t hard to apply this particular powder blush - I’ve tried some other powder blush products recently that are VERY awkward to apply and I end up with powder everywhere! Not so with this Revlon powder blush, and the little brush supplied is cute, easy to hold and effective.

The one downside to this blush is the amount you get. I have to agree with h123’s comment below that there isn’t a lot of this blush - it’s a reasonably small amount for the price.

But the beautiful shade in orchid has made this one of my new go-to blushes. Colour me orchid!

I received a gift set for Christmas and was very excited to try this blush (slightly different packaging but the same product). It’s a stunning universal shade in ‘Tickled Pink’. It’s a full pan size so definitely value for money and lasts all day on the face. The only thing I didn’t love about this product was that it is ridiculously pigmented and I’ve had to use a couple of different brushes to try and pick up a little less product. I will definitely buy this again as it’s a stunning shade but probably wouldn’t recommend it to anyone that likes a very subtle blush.
