Astor Cosmetics 002 Peachy Coral Skinmatch Trio Blush Review

Hey everyone,
After boring you all with my continuous lip product reviews, finally I thought of taking a break and reviewing a blush instead. So the blush that I’m going to review for you all today is the shade Peachy Coral from the European drugstore brand Astor. This one’s also a part of my dear brother’s previous German haul for me. So, let’s see what this product has in store.

My Experience with Astor Cosmetics 002 Peachy Coral Skinmatch Trio Blush:

The blush comes in a square shaped case which has a see through lid through which the colour of the blush can easily be seen and thus making it super easy to locate the shade in the stash. The brand and range name are printed on the lid though the brand name on my case has worn out with regular usage. Nevertheless, you can check out more pictures of the packaging on the original Astor Cosmetics website. The case is divided into two compartments with the upper one holding the blush and the lower one holding a small applicator brush and a mirror for quick touch ups. The brush that comes with blush is quite functional and helps in touch ups on the go. Overall I find the packaging quite sturdy and functional.

Moving on to the shade 002 Peachy Coral, it’s actually a trio palette consisting of three shades all of which belong to the coral pink family. The left most shade is a powder pink shade which on its own would look quite unflattering on my yellow skin tone. I usually use it as a highlighter for the cheeks as well as my eyes when I’m doing a pink themed makeup. The second( or the middle shade) and the third shade (or the right most shade) at the first glance looked almost similar to me but on a closer look I realised that the middle shade is a bit more cool toned coral pink with some silver shimmer and the right most shade is warmer and matt-er.

I generally swirl my blush brush over the three shades together to get a lovely pinky coral tone which really makes me look fresh and more awake. The shimmer in this trio is not at all over the top and adds a lovely glow to the face and can easily be worn during the day time. For evening wear, the blush can be applied heavily for a more ‘made up’ look.

In terms of texture these blushes are silky smooth and soft and apply evenly on the cheeks without any patchiness. Being so smooth, there however is a downside to this one, that is, a certain amount of fallout can be experienced as is evident from the pics. The blush doesn’t have any fragrance whatsoever which is a plus as many people are allergic to scented products.

Pigmentation wise, I would want to say that this blush has a sheer to build-able coverage which again is a plus as newbies can control the pigmentation and prevent the dreaded ‘clown cheeks’ Another point worth mentioning is that, one should try not to build up the coverage a lot as this sort of darkens over a period of time on coming in contact with the natural oils of the face. The staying power of this blush is pretty commendable as well as it gives a wear time of 6-7 hours without a primer underneath and withstands the heat and sweat quite efficiently.

IMBB Rating: 4.5/5

Overall, I totally loved this blush and would definitely buy more when I come across this brand again. When Indian drugstore brands are going so crazy with the price hikes, it is these European brands that are coming to our rescue and I wish they open more outlets in our country soon. I recommend everybody to definitely give these blushes a shot if they happen to come across them.
