In the picture above the blusher seem very dewy (I refuse to use the 'M' word) but having used it this morning, I would say that it is creamy but slightly drier in texture than my other cream blushers. It feels almost spongy in the pan. It produces more of a stained effected rather than a dewy glow but it is possible that it will become more glossy as the weather warms again. It is densely pigment but it is still possible to apply a light layer with a careful hand. I applied it using my fingers, tapping them first onto the back of my hand to avoid going overboard on the cheek. I didn't feel like risking Aunt Sally cheeks to go with my Worzel Gummidge hair!

Liquifuchsia makes Edward Bess Island Rose look quite muted in comparison: Liquisfuchsia is definitely pink rather than rosy. Colourwise, I think the closest shade I have to this is my MAC Tippy blusher from the Hello Kitty collection. Like Island Rose, I find it will accentuate any naturally rudiness in my face so I do need to apply with care. It is a fun colour and a good one to choose if you're feeling pasty and in need of an injection of colour.
Keyvn Aucoin is available from Mise Beauty, the Creamy Glow blushers cost £21. You can find swatches of some of the other shades on the Mise Beauty blog.
Disclosure: This item was sent to me without cost for review purposes.
* I have referred to this shade Liquifuchsia throughout the post but the label on the box says Liquifuschia. I guess this means that I'm a pedant....
Very pretty but I'd look hot and bothered in that shade of pink! x
ReplyDeleteI have to be careful too to avoid that 'I just had to run for a bus' flustered look!
DeleteThat pink is exactly what my sallow winter mixed race skin needs to pep it up, I'm going to get me some of this stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it would be a great shade for you. I think No.7 has a similar colour out at the moment. I keep meaning to go and make the comparison.
DeleteI have several of these from my Kevyn Aucoin stage. I need to give them a try again.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get any of the palettes Marcia? I often look at them and wonder if they're worth a try.
DeleteThis is gorgeous! No7 Spring blush has a similar colour and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI spotted the No.7 colour just after I posted this. I need to go and have a look at it in the flesh to see how the colours compare.
DeleteWhat a beautiful shade! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those colours that makes me happy just looking at it in the pot. I probably sound like a crazy lunatic!
DeleteI like the look of the Liquifuchsia (I too refuse to use a word containing a mispelling, it annoys me... that is why I get angry every time I look at an Urban Decay label and their mistranslations).
ReplyDeleteI spotted you post about the Urban Decay error. I'm glad it's not just me!
DeleteWow, you just gotta love that colour- MUST HAVE.
ReplyDeleteP.S. good luck with those 3 little ones, how do you do it:)
Thank you. I get by on luck and very little sleep ;)
DeleteThat's definitely a very strong shade! I was going to compare it to my brightest cream blush (NYX's in Glow) but it's nowhere near it!
ReplyDeleteMakes a change from my normally safe colours. I seem to have a little more daring lately! I think we can blame the cold weather and lack of sun ;)
