One of the products the Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida were given to try at The Make Up Show was this really cool blush-but-better-than-blush product from Kevyn Aucoin, called The Creamy Glow.
Now, this confession may shock you, but before The Make Up Show, I didn't really know Kevyn Aucoin.
Please, breathe. I'm a fan now.
The color I was given to try is called Pravella, and it's a bright pink. It's creamy, and I usually apply it with a synthetic blush brush or kabuki brush, although it is also easily applied with the fingers.
The brightness scared me a little, but it can be worn much softer. This is one swipe of the product from my finger onto my forearm.
Can you see the glow? It's not shimmery, it's not shiny.. it's a glow. I love it, and I think it makes my skin look amazing. Here, I've blended the swipe out so you can see the glow a little better. You can make the blush as light or dark as you like.
I've always had a problem with blush longevity. I don't know if my skin just sucks it up, or if I'm afraid of putting enough on to stay.. but nothing I've ever tried stays on all day. I don't really know how long this lasts. But I've never seen another product do what it does, and that is worth a touch-up, if needed, in my book.

What do you think about a blush that glows?
My #NailArtForNubs post will go live at 9am Eastern today! Two, yes, TWO posts today!
Pretty shade!
ReplyDeleteIt works really well on my fair skin.
DeleteIt appears subtle pink to me....looks like a good everyday blush.
ReplyDeleteIt looks scary bright in the pan, but it's really not. It's a great everyday blush. I find myself reaching for it, even though I have lots of other colors.
DeleteLove the subtle pinky shade
ReplyDeleteIt makes me look like I just came in from the cold!
DeleteOnce you blended it it's a pretty shade of pink. I like how subtle it is because it looks natural and not over the top.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm not one for bright dots of color, like a doll's cheek!
DeleteI love how it blends out. Pretty shade!!! Kevyn Aucoin is quality stuff.
ReplyDeleteI need to get a copy of his books. I hear they're amazing.
DeleteI really like the color and the subtle shimmer. Looks like you got to try a great product!
ReplyDeleteEvery once in a while, I get lucky! I love this and the Ellis Faas mascara I got to try from The Make Up Show so hard.
DeleteI have a problem with making blush last only because I always rest my head in my hand and the oils from my hand rub it away!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that's what I do! I bet that's it... huh. DUH.
DeleteSo pretty, I love to glow!
ReplyDeleteI thought you liked to blush? lol. :)
DeleteIt's a beautiful color
ReplyDeleteDid you get to try this one, Phyrra?
DeleteGorgeous! Definitely a favorite shade of mine!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Do you have one like it that you use?
DeleteI am a long time lover of all that is Kevyn Aucoin (RIP)! I am so glad to hear that you love the makeup! It looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read his books, now. I hear they're amazing. So sad he's gone.
DeleteI have that in the original packaging. I think I bought all the colors that my skin could carry off.
ReplyDeleteDo they all have that wonderful glow? I would love to wear nothing but this kind of blush!
DeleteHmmm....I'm gonna sit on the fence about the glow. LOL! Cool product to get to try out though.
ReplyDeleteWell, you're already naturally glowing, I can see why! I need a little help - you're always asking me if I'm wearing blush! lol!!
DeletePretty! I like blushes with a soft glowy finish!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I wonder if the Hourglass Ambient Light products do something similar, or if it's a totally different effect.
DeleteSo pretty! And I'm so glad you know about Kevyn now!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm certainly getting an education now!
