Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush

Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush

I was recently in my local Boots store and the cream blushes by Revlon caught my eye. They were priced at £7.99, which I thought was good and they had some lovely shades to choose from. I opted for the shade Pinched, which was a lovely soft peach shade with a subtle shimmer running through it. I quickly swatched the shades in store and they seemed to have good colour payoff and a nice texture.

Revlon claim that these cream blushes provides a buildable, beautiful  flush of colour inspired by the glowing skin of a beach beauty. They claim to have a lightweight formula with a silky, smooth finish that blends evenly over the cheeks. Now, I personally didn't find any of the statements to be all that true. Firstly, I found the consistency of this product to be quite dry and difficult to blend on the skin. It did feel quite smooth on the skin but the colour payoff of this particular shade wasn't what I expected.

In the pan, this shade looks quite pretty and vibrant but it just didn't show up all that way on my skintone. I have medium/tanned skin and this colour just didn't show up that way and wasn't buildable either. I gave this blush to my friend, who has pale skin and it does work alot better on her skin, so if you have paler skin then this blush may suit you better.

The subtle shimmer in this product is lovely. It does make the cheeks look nice and glowy, without being too much. If you are a fan of subtle blushes, then this blush could be lovely for you. This product isn't awful, by no means, it is just not amazing and definitely not for me I am afraid.
