After watching a Lisa Eldridge video the other day, I realised I didn't have a blue based pink cream blush.  So that was my excuse to get Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow in Liquifuschia.

I was quite excited to see Kevyn Aucoin stocked at Space NK here in the UK.  I remember flicking through a copy of Face Forward eons ago (when I wasn't that into makeup) and being amazed at the transformations.  Having a piece of Kevyn Aucoin makeup won't make me a stellar makeup artist but it brings a smile to my face.


First up, the packaging.  All the Creamy Glow blushes are encased in a flip open two-tone case with a decent sized mirror for touch-ups.  The compact is similar to the revamped Bobbi Brown Pot Rouges.



Onto the product itself.  In the container, Liquifuschia is definitely not for the faint hearted.  It is a BRIGHT hot fuschia pink.


But once blended it is a beautiful blue toned rosy pink, sans any kind of shimmer.  The colour is perfect for when I'm feeling a bit grey or need to do my makeup quickly, as it is perfect on its own - just a quick swipe and blend.  I have oily/combination skin but I found Liquifuschia had great staying power - it definitely lasted longer than other cream blushes I have.

Texture-wise it is not overly oily - there is enough slip for blending but once dried it does not feel greasy.  The finish is dewy (but not overly so) rather than matte, which I think is more flattering (matte blushes, to me, have a tendency to look very made up and severe).


At £19 I feel Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow blushes are worth it - it is a decent size and the formula is wonderful.
