Illamasqua Velvet Blusher Swatches (Flirtatious)

Flirtatious is a newly launched shade and is a pretty lighter shade of peachy coral. This is a lighter creamy texture that blends out easily onto skin without accentuating pores or flakier areas on skin. It has a seamless blend out which creatures a very natural, airbrushed on blush look. The texture has a soft creamy texture with a powdery feel that isn’t tacky! It almost feels like I’m applying a lightweight powder as I blend out. The cream texture quickly sets to a matte finish but it never looks dry on my skin. The shade itself is difficult to overdo as it builds easily but isn’t so pigmented that it looks unnaturally bright or uneven. The smooth, even finish wears long as well so I can get as long a wear out of this cream as I would a powder blush at around eight hours of wear!

If you’re looking for a long wearing matte finish blush that will wear well not only on drier skin but also oily skin I’d highly recommend picking up Illamasqua Velvet Blusher!
