I have to admit that I don't know how to use blush. My cheeks are already red all the time, and most of my makeup is aimed towards covering the redness up. However, I've noticed that blush really does liven up people's complexions, so I took a stab at blush with this product after liking the Rodin contouring powder. The blush is quite pigmented, but still super light. The lightest shade can't be seen against my skin tone, while the darker two shades are more of a warm peachy pink. I like that I can't really over-do the blush without putting layers and layers of it on, and it shows up as a nice flush on the skin. However, it gets really messy (it's as powdery and soft as the Rodin highlighter, so powder kickup everywhere), and I just don't like how it looks for the price. If you're just starting to get into blush, try purchasing something cheaper to experiment with first!
