Jill Stuart Blush Blossom #4 Seductive Rose

For yesterday's look, I used Dior X4 Control Compact Foundation, Cover FX Clear Prep Matte Foundation Primer, Jill Stuart Blush Blossom #4 Seductive Rose, Urban Decay Primer Potion, Lancome Virtuose Precious Cells mascara and Erika F. eyeshadow, K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow 24h 01, Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner, RMK Super Basic Liquid Concealer EX01 and Paul & Joe Lipstick C 058.

The Jill Stuart blush contains a 'shimmer tint' on the left and a 'blush glow' on the right side. The blush glow is the more intense and pigmented of the two while the shimmer tint basically adds a glowy finish.

Rather than risk picking up too much product with the brush, I just gently touched the brush against the clear plastic sheet that sits on top of the blush powder. You can also tap the excess off against the under side of the white plastic tray but that looks like it could get messy.

I was surprised by how pigmented the blush glow powder applied. This may be due to the dense brush. The shimmer tint added a lovely sheen when applied on top of the blush glow powder.

The blush was surprisingly long-lasting. I wore this for more than 12 hours and at the end of the night, the blush was still visible. While I miss the princessy pots of the original Blush Powders, the new Blush Blossoms are definitely a good improvement. Not only do you get two shades in one pot, the more compact packaging makes it more convenient for travel and touch-ups on the go.

I was also surprised by how soft the brush felt, compared to the kabuki brush for the original Blush Powders and the Mix Compact Blush brush. The Blush Blossom brush feels more plush and soft.

The bristles for the Blush Blossom brush appear to be cut slightly differently from the Mix Compact Blush brush (right in the pic below). The Mix Compact Blush brush has more of a dome shaped cut.

Thanks for reading and have a good weekend, everyone!
