As most of Smashbox’s Products this blush is also Made in China
this blush is in between Nars Orgasm, MAC Springsteen and Peachykeen
Warm pinky-peach colour that appears more pink on skin..
it is not as big as MAC Blushes but it is not that small
i liked the colour, but it is not long lasting, you need to re apply during the day
I was thinking to buy Smashbox Blushrush Chiffon but i changed my mind
i can not get enough colour from this blush and plus it has a negative part of being produced in China.
This blush has a bit gold pigments
This is my second Smashbox blush , the first one cracked after few days later, i purchased, i still need to press and reuse it..
It was from ebay and i had already gave my feedback, so too late for getting my money back
I do not recommend you to buy this blush, do not waste your money, while you can buy a better product from another high street brand

I admit this is one of the bronzers looks like a mulch, sometimes companies made some bronzer they are too far too dark for even medium skin tones, i do not understand the reason to give you dark brown cheeks, if it is for contouring yeah i than i will say ok, because after you apply your contour powder, you use your blush.
But there are many fans of this bronzer, i have to confess that i like the smell of bronzers. they smell really really nice..

| Shade: | C | NC | N | W | NW |
| Stands for: | Cool | Neutral Cool | Neutral | Warm | Neutral Warm |
| Match for | Yellow-Golden Olive Skin | Golden Beige Skin | Beige Skin | Pinkish Skin | Pink Beige Skin |
The first step in selecting your shade is to simply look at your skin, without makeup, in daylight. If your skin looks more Yellow/Golden Olive or Golden Beige, you match with Neutral Cool or “NC” shades. If your skin is a neutral beige, you will match with the Neutral or “N” shades. If your skin looks more Pink Beige, you match with Neutral Warm or “NW” shades. This might seem backwards since usually we think of pinkish skin tones as cool and yellowish skin tones as warm
By looking at your skin in daylight, most skin tones will fall into either the NC or NW classifications. However, if you are still not certain which classification is right for you, looking at the undertones in your skin will help. To determine what your undertones are, take a look at the underside of your forearm. If your vein looks more blue, then you most likely have pinkish undertones. If your vein looks more greenish, then you have more yellow or golden undertones. If at all possible, it is highly recommended to match your skin tone in person at make up Counters
Finding the “right” colour is something very subjective. It is a good idea to choose the shade in person by visiting a Make UP counter if at all possible.
When choosing a foundation shade, you will want to make sure you use the skin near your jaw line or neck area as your criteria for determining your match. This helps to ensure flawless blending and to avoid ending up with a face that’s too light or too dark that doesn’t match the rest of your skin! If you simply try to match the skin tone on your forehead or cheeks, you will often end up with a shade that looks to dark compared to the rest of you. It is much better to choose the shade that matches your jaw line/neckline, and then to use a Bronzer or Skin finish to highlight or add “sun” to your face, if desired. (Also, when it comes to actual makeup application, be sure to blend foundations and powders around the jaw line and into the neckline.)
With concealers, it is possible you may want to try a concealer with a slight tint to it. This will help cover up dark undereye circles or reddish imperfections.
Slightly yellowish tones will help to cancel out and cover up dark purplish/blueish undereye circles. (Or just selecting a concealer that is a few shades lighter than your regular foundation will also work well for diminishing undereye circles.)
Slightly greenish toned concealers will help to cancel out any reddish tones in your skin caused by acne, or other skin conditions.
If you have a significant undertone to your skin, you may choose to play it up or play it down by trying a shade that includes or excludes your undertones.
Often, people will wear a couple different shades throughout the year because skin shade and tone can change according to the season, physical well being and general lighting.
It‘s nearly summer. And the wedding season has just started, i know some of my readers are going to get married in few months time, so i decided to do a post about bridal make up…
Your choice of shades and application technique will be key to your bridal makeup look. Not only should it look fantastic but it also needs to be photo-friendly and stay fresh-looking throughout the day and evening
Your wedding day make up depends on how much product you normally use in your daily life, your wedding dress and the season, conception of the wedding, place of the wedding, whether it is going to be a indoors or outdoors, is it going to be in a garden, sea side, etc, You need to use lighter textured products for spring and summer weddings.
Try to use a foundation which stays for 12 to 15 hrs with light texture but full coverage a powdery foundation which you can use wet and dry , cream foundation,( if i need to give an example MAC’s new Mineral Compact Foundation SPF 15) which stays on top to ensure you stay shine free. On my next post i will post about how to find your perfect foundation shade, so do not buy any foundation without reading my post.
An Autumn – Winter wedding requires for a bronze added colour, to avoid to look so white, so your dress will be white, or creamy if you do not wear bronze added products you will be as white as a sheet.
Your bridal look will help transform you into a vision of radiance for your wedding day and beyond
Also you need to you use a foundation primer underneath your foundation, if you are a summer bride there are some spray to fix your make up, which makes your make up to stay longer, before choosing your make up artist for the big day, try to get some appointments from different make up artists ask a friend of you take your pictures, than download those pictures to your PC have a look than decide which make up artist you want to work with,
DO not go to a make up artist just because your friend also choose that person on her wedding day as her make up artist
remember do not use anything glittery

Every bride wants to look their best on their wedding day. And we know how important it is for you to look beautiful all day long, so for that guaranteed 'wow' factor, follow our top bridal makeup tips to ensure you really do look your beautiful best on your big day.
Starting with concealer and foundation. Be careful about the colour foundation you choose. Whilst you should always go for a match as near as your skin, anything too pale will make you look washed out if you are wearing a white/ivory dress. Try to choose a yellow toned foundation to bring warmth into your face. Alternatively use bronzing powder to give you a bit of colour – if you are wearing a low cut dress remember to sweep it across the chest area so you don't look “two toned”.
Whilst there are some lovely “shine” products available to give a dewy complexion, again be very careful where you use them. In photographs it will be easy to mistake the “glow” for sweat – not nice. If you are applying a highlighter, stick to brow bones, cheekbones and a dab in the middle of your lips. If you are wearing a low cut dress add a little on your décolletage. Beware of any makeup that is too sparkly, this can look strange in the photos. Matte is usually best.
Pending on what season you are getting married this will also have to be taken into account when planning your makeup. Avoid anything too shiny on your skin if you are getting married in the summer, stick to a coloured lip-gloss but don't wear shine all-over. Light formulas are better as you don't want your makeup melting in the sun. Winter make up can be more dramatic although again it's best to stick to a stronger look of your usual make up, bear in mind if it is a very cold day, you may want a green concealer. Green will counteract any redness to stop you looking like Rudolph!
To make your lipstick last all day. First apply a lip primer to give your lips an even surface and rid of any flaky bits. I always apply foundation to the lips and let it dry – this gives a good base. Then line your lips with your lip pencil (which should be the same shade as your lipstick). Then fill in all your lips with the pencil. Finally on top of that apply your lipstick. Blot with a tissue and reapply your lipstick – repeat this twice. Now your lipstick should stay on all day. If it does start to wear off you will have the lip pencil underneath so your lips won't look patchy.
Although foundation/concealer should be left to areas where you need it, i.e. around the nose then blended into the cheeks (you don't want to put it everywhere otherwise it will look false), you can also apply to your eyes to give your eye shadow a good base and something to cling on to.
Eyebrows - have them professionally shaped before your big day and enhance them with a same colour eyebrow shade. Eyebrows frame your face and it can make a huge difference if you have the professionally shaped – a la Liz Hurley!
To make your eyes look bigger and whiter choose dark navy mascara. If you are dark skinned or have brown eyes then black is usually best. Brown mascara can make eyes look tired.
To lift your eyes apply a highlighter just below your brow bone. If you have small eyelids, apply a highlighter just in the center of the eyelid and a dark brown shade in the eyelid crease – this will lift your eyes. White/ivory eyeliner in the rim of your eyes also makes them appear brighter, however be careful if you wear contact lenses as your eyes maybe sensitive. To make your eyes look more wide set blend the highlighter in the inner corner of your eyes.
For a natural flush apply a light natural pink shade onto the apples of your cheeks – don't go to harsh, especially if you are drinking which can give you a natural flush look without the blush.
Finally remember on your big day to have the following to hand.
Cotton buds, to wipe away any smudges under the eyes
Your lippy, should you need a touch up.
Some translucent powder to blot away any sweaty patches
Breath freshener
(Contact lens solution – if you wear them.
Small phial of your perfume to keep you smelling gorgeous
