Product: Sleek blush

Cost: $5.99 AUD

Purchased at: http://www.sleekmakeup.com/face/blusher/blush

Overall rating: 9.5/10

Colour(s): Scandalous, Rose Gold, Suede and Flamingo

Longevity: GREAT!

Okay so excuse me dodgy ass photos, as you can see, these are ‘much loved’ blushes. (Meaning they look filthy as heck because I’ve used them so much.)

I’ll summarise by saying that these blushes are ah-maz-ing! Matte or shimmer, the quality is better than anything you can buy here in Australia in Priceline, from most brands, at this price, by far! Recommend them for pros or everyday users alike. I have tried the four colours listed and I can assume that the other colours on the site that sleek offers are of the same quality and texture.

Scandalous:

Matte fire engine red.

Absolutely no shimmer or dimension

Looks great with a tan or medium skin tones, not too sure for super fair skin tones, but deeper or tanned skin tones would love this

Gives almost ‘sun burnt’ look to cheeks which looks incredible if applied correctly (top of cheeks, lightly dusted on forehead, bridge of nose and small amounts on cheeks)

Tips: Use stipple brushes or less dense brushes as this is HIGHLY pigmented as all sleek blushes are.

This can be patchy when applied but is blended over a small amount of powder it will work great

Suede:

Matte light brown with pink undertones

Absolutely no shimmer or dimension

Works well as a contour shade! For fairer skins this works fabulously as a contour, medium light skin tones can use this as a super natural blush, as I do sometimes

Swatches lovely and is a great texture on the cheeks

Tips: Apply in hollows of cheeks and bring up onto apples of cheeks with a n angled blush brush for a beautiful contour and blush in one

Flamingo:

Matte cool hot, vibrant pink

Absolutely no shimmer or dimension

Amazing natural flush colour if applied with a light hand

Works well on fair and deep skin tones! Very versatile!

Lasts so long on the cheeks, again, as all of these blushes do.

Tips: If applied lower on the cheeks, more in the hollow of the cheek, it gives a natural contour if applied over a matte bronzer/contour shade

Pair with all your pink lipsticks and you’ve got a great complimentary blush shade!

Rose Gold:

Peach/pink toned blush with gold toned shimmer

DUPE FOR NARS ‘ORGASM’ BLUSH

Pretty, pretty shade!

Would work great on fair skin tones and it would be a great highlight on deep skin tones

Works best for a blush shade, higher on the cheekbones as the gold shimmer catches the light beautifully and gives the prettiest glow in pictures. (See swatch with flash to see the gold glow this creates)

Tips: Use an angled blush brush or round blush brush, apply the blush below your iris on your cheekbones and sweep back into the hairline

Overall Summary:

If you are a beauty addict, go and get your hands on these! Rose Gold and Flamingo and my top 2, but Suede and Scandalous are amazing too! Gosh, they’re all my favourites! LOVE THESE!!!!
