Illamasqua powder blushes have a matte finish and are highly pigmented. They remind me very much of NARS blushes. So if you like your NARS, chances are you’ll like Illamasqua’s blushes too (they’re *ahem* cheaper too). One swipe of the powder, and you get lots of colour. If you prefer building your blush layer by layer, then you either need a very light hand with this, or choose something less colour-pop-y.

Hussy is bright candy pink. Not something I would normally go for, but when on the cheeks, it just looks amazing.

I took this picture outdoors, and I think I was too light-handed with the blush, because it sadly doesn’t show much in the photo. Oooops. But trust me, the colour is quite strong.

You’ll notice that I used matched a pink-based blush with an orange-based lipstick. Makeup suicide? I don’t think so. I don’t believe in rules that cool colours should just stick to each other (and so on with warm colours). I tried both on together, and it just worked.

Illamasqua Powder Blushes retail at AU$38 a pop. If you bring in any old makeup you have (unwanted, broken, etc), as part of the Amnesty program (ending Jan 30), you get 25% off. Awesomeness.

    Sorry Tine, but I beg to differ! I can see a gorgeous glow on your skin, and the blush showed up beautifully in the photo! Lovely! =D

    Agreeing with Syen here! 🙂

    And so jealous that Illamasqua is available in Aussie. I’ve been dying to give their products a whirl since I found out about them in the UK, but no dice – they’re still not in Msia/Singapore yet as far as I’m aware 🙁
