Clarins Graphic Expression Blush

I wanna say you don’t need the Clarins Graphic Expression Face and Blush Powder Palette ($35) because it’s so darn similar to Clarins Palette Eclat Face & Blush Powder but…

You kinda NEED this.

Clarins Graphic Expression Face and Blush Powder Palette Fall 2013

Clarins Graphic Expression Face and Blush Powder Palette is a new, limited edition tinted powder for Fall 2013. This beautiful palette comes housed in a mirror gold plated compact (yes, it’s a magnet for finger prints) with a slanted gradient shade palette that includes light beige shades to illuminate your face with darker beiges ones to even out skin tone and the perfect flush of coral and peach to give skin a light golden glow.

I love, love, love how this creates a perfect flush of natural peach on my cheeks! It’s a bit warmer than the Eclat Face & Blush Powder and has a tiny bit more of a glow so if you’re debating I say yes, go ahead and indulge in the Graphic Face and Blush Powder too!

The powder has a soft, finely milled texture that blends easily onto skin in a soft, even finish. It doesn’t cling to drier areas and has a perfectly smooth and lightweight feel and look. Although dubbed a face powder as well as a blush I think it’ll work best on your cheeks and not so much as an all over powder.

I’m a bit heavy handed when it comes to blush and this is the type of shade that you can never get wrong or over do. It’s fresh, natural, and beautiful!

Do love!

If you already own and love the Eclat Powder I do suggest checking out the Graphic Express one! I know you’ll adore it as much as I do.

It’s available now, for a limited time with the Clarins Fall 2013 Collection at all Clarins counters or online at clarinsusa.com

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Very nice and natural. Looks great on you btw. I hate when blush has glitter flecks in it-NARS orgasm:( This is beautiful.

      thanks ashley…this is an overspray so no worries on that small amount of shimmer in the photo!

    I really hate how some brands like Clarins and Estee Lauder don’t have clear tops for the packaging because I never know what’s what and I end up not using it because I forget about it xD

    I have and love the last years version, I was worried how much shimmer shows up on this one from the little strip but it doesn’t look like much at all! Will purchase 😀

    • the Muse

      don’t worry just a tiny strip of shimmer that blows away first use 😀 after that purely gorgeous natural peach ;D

    After seeing your swatches and review I promptly hopped into my car and drove to my local Macy’s and made a beeline for the Clarins counter. I managed to snag the last one! It’s ridiculously gorgeous! I’m a happy girl!

    Bought this but taking it back. Not hugely impressed with it. I rarely grab for it. Much prefer my Hourglass face powder palette with 3 shades, or my Meteorites. Not exactly the same type of product, but they are both something I use on a regular basis.
