I’ll be honest, when it comes to shopping for makeup, the item that I least reach and shop for is blush. It’s not that I don’t love blush, because I do. I think the perfect blush can instantly lift your face and complexion, making you look years younger and healthier. The problem is, blushes are usually so hit or miss for me that I gave up my quest. Enter Smashbox Blush Rush, which is an amazing product that not only lasts and lasts on your cheeks, but is super pigmented. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve purchased a blush only to bring it home and watch it disappear on my skin almost instantly. This blush shows up for the job and then some. I’ve got a full makeup look inside using Radiance, a bright hot fuchsia pink shade that will look perfect with a shimmering eye makeup look for the holiday season!

Radiance is a bright hot fuchsia. It looks bright in the pan and it’s also bright once you swatch it. The beauty of this shade is that it is flattering on all skin tones because it can be applied lightly or heavily. The rich pigmentation of the blush allows it to show up on medium and dark skin tones. It’s easily blendable for lighter skin tones and you can lightly pat it on if you’ve got fair skin. This is, by far, one of the most pigmented blushes in my entire makeup collection. You need only dip your brush very lightly into the product to pick up a lot of color.
I love the gorgeous color payoff this gives. Obviously, the swatch above is applied heavily, and you will blend it out when using it on your cheeks. One of my favorite ways to wear this blush for the holiday season is to pair it with an iridescent eye makeup look. It gives off that fairy/doll type of look, and is a nice change from the usual red lipstick people wear this time of year.
I love the way this lit up my cheekbones and made me look flushed and healthy.
The best part is that this blush is available in five other shades!
Smashbox Blush Rush is available in six shades total and retails for $24.00 USD. You can find these blushes at Sephora stores nationwide as well as online at Sephora’s website.
