Hey Girls,

This blush has been in my collection from way back when I just started with makeup till now and at one point it was a staple in my everyday makeup routine. I’ve no idea why I stopped using this but I rediscovered it that day and just had to share.This but it’s been with me for 2 years and I’ve hit pan majorly which just goes to show how much I love this. If you want to know why I love this that much, read on and you’ll find out.

My take onthe Red Earth Colour Flash Velvet Radiance Blush in Sun Beam:

The texture of this blush is silky and feels soft on the skin. It’s lightweight and I feel like I don’t even have it on at all. The shade is a light pink with a few specks of shimmer in it. The shimmer is still there even after application but no worries, you won’t shine like a disco ball.
Which brings me to the next great thing about this blush, it is a light pink that looks really natural on the skin. It gives you that ‘goddess glow’ if you know what I mean. I’d say that this blush is smack dab in the middle of sheer and super pigmented. It’s pigmented but pretty sheer after blending but it is buildable.

It’s also really easy to blend in to the skin. It doesn’t leave your face looking cakey even after building up the pigmentation of this blush. It also doesn’t clog pores, make your fine lines or wrinkles more evident and best part is that it goes on well even if you have dry patches on your face and it doesn’t bring attention to your dry patches. I would know, I suffer from dry patches occasionally and I still use this blush. Just throwing in that it’s also easy to blend.
I can also say that this product is totally a 2-in-1 product. It’s pretty obvious that you can use this as a blush but I also like to use it as a highlighter after applying on my cheeks. It gives my whole face a healthy glow and brightens up my face too. The reason why this would be perfect as a highlighter is because the specks of shimmer are super tiny and there isn’t too much or too little shimmer, it’s just the right amount. The long-lasting power is pretty okay. It’ll stay on your cheeks for at least 3 hours and it fades pretty well too and doesn’t fade away weirdly. With a primer, this product will last you the whole day.

Packaging-wise I’ll say that it’s sturdy. The lid doesn’t come off as it pleases and it’s tiny, compact, slim and a perfect handbag/makeup bag item to throw in and bring along. If you don’t want to use a primer, just throw this in and you can touch up on your blush anytime. Sadly it doesn’t have a mirror, but you can always just bring compact one along. It’s a minor thing for such an amazing product. It’s a little pricey and I am not sure how available this still is but it’s worth the search and the money.
