Cargo Topeka.


next Cargo blusher is Topeka. it's in the permanent line and i ordered it through Maureen some months ago, now it's easier accessible on beautybay.com.
it comes in the regular Cargo-tin and contains 8.9g for 26$/18.10€.
i wanted to try this shade for a long time, i have read great reviews about it. it was often compared with NARS Luster blush (which i l♥ve for summer time), but when someone said "if you love Luster, you will love Topeka!" it was clear that i would order Topeka right away.
it has a dusty peach colour with soft gold shimmer, it's the same fine texture as my other shimmery Cargo blushes and applies and blends with ease. it has a medium pigmentation and i'm glad that the result is a warm peach colour with gold sheen but the shimmer doesn't lay flat on my skin surface to create a frosty/greasy finish that would emphasize on any unevenness of the skin. it lasts on me an average time, about 6-7 hours before it's fading.
the colour is quite warm and a bit tricky for me to pull off without looking sick, i need to combine it with intense eye makeups as the main focus of the face and a proper contour to frame it. worn more intensely, i like to combine it with a shimmery chocolate brown eyeshadow look. it goes well with dark smokey eyes, too. if i just want the beautiful gold glow, i'd also layer Topeka sheerly over a matte reddish or rose blush.
compared to NARS Luster, Topeka appears more rosey whereas Luster looks almost orange. the gold shimmer is much stronger with the NARS blusher, almost like a duochrome while it's just a gold glow in Topeka.

see my Cargo Blush collection overview to get to more reviews.
