Up until now, I was constantly faithful to gel and cream-based blushes as they usually do the best task at considering that second-skin and lit-from-within result. Powders, for the most part, always make me look like I’m wearing makeup when what I strive for is that no-makeup-makeup radiance. An I-woke-up-like-this aura, so to speak. Apart from that, lots of powder blushes wind up looking splotchy on my skin– a big no-no.
However, Bobbi Brown developed the exception. Through her brand-new cosmetics brand name, Jones Road, Brown developed the best smooth powder that blends seamlessly into the skin, packs on the pigment, and sits tight all day. It’s aptly called “The Best Blush.”
Considering her track record of creating first-in-class items, I should not be shocked at how good this blush is, but I still am. It merges my skin like butter, and I love how the pigment can be adjusted as the formula is buildable. Plus, once it’s on, it’s on. I’ve worn this blush many times now and I’ve never found myself in a position where I need to reapply mid-day to bring that naturally-looking flush back to my complexion.
“The Best Blush” is offered in 5 shades: Pop (a bubblegum pink), Rosy (a soft rose), Sandy (an earthy-pink), Peachy (a, well, peachy-pink), and Berry (a dark increased). Each also features a splash of shimmer– however don’t worry, it doesn’t look theatrical, it merges the skin and turns into radiance-inducing specks that make you look lit-from-within.
The buildable, talc-free formula has actually made a long-term area on my makeup rotation and I’ll wax poetic about it every opportunity I get.
