My Experience with Maybelline Orchid Hush Dream Bouncy Blush:

Packaging: The blush comes in a cute round plastic case with a transparent lid. The size is pretty small and handy and can be easily carried around in your bag. The lid shuts tight and there is no danger of the blush opening accidentally in the bag.  The blush itself has a unique texture – it feels almost clay like and has a slight bounce to it. If you press it slightly, it seems to bounce back into shape.

Color and Pigmentation: “Orchid Hush” is a lovely lilac pink. I mostly possess blushes which are slightly darker shades of pink or red. For a change, I decided to pick up a light pink shade and I have to admit that it does not really suit my skin tone much.

Blush close up

“Orchid Hush” will probably look better on fairer and cooler skin tones. I cannot even use it as a highlighter as I prefer my highlighters to be slightly warmer. “Orchid Hush” looks pretty frosty on me.  The pigmentation is just about ok. You do need to swipe it a few times for the color to show up on the skin.

Texture/Finish/Staying Power: The blush has a light mousse-like texture. It blends very easily with fingers or a brush. It feels like a cream when you first apply it, but as you blend it out, it starts feeling like a powder.

The finish is matte with a lovely sheen.  The staying power is slightly disappointing and the blush disappears in about 3 hours or so.
