Pros: Great color, long lasting, easy to use, non-drying, non-flaking.
Cons: Expensive, feels heavier on face than most blush.
The Bottom Line: It won't clog your pores, you won't need heavy foundation and it won't dry out your skin. Best of all...it doesn't even LOOK like powder! It just looks radiant.

| kelly617's Full Review: Revlon Naturally Glamarous Blush-On Naturally Nude |
To start off, let me explain to you how my skin works. It's pale. It isn't alabaster, it isn't porceline, it isn't snowy...it's just pale. I can't tan, I don't have any natural redness in my cheeks and I essentially look a little ill without my daily dose of makeup.
Now, because blush is always so insanely unhelpful, I've never been able to leave the house without doing the entire foundation/blush/mascara/lipstick combo, which easily sucks up a good half to full hour of my time in the morning. So, my friend suggested I try Revlon's blush, and I was skeptical. Usually, blush looks either too red, or too brown on my skin and I always end up looking like some sort of freaky doll. Anyway, I decided to go out on a limb and purchase a compact in "Naturally Nude" as it seemed to be the most neutral color there, leading me to hope that it would blend nicely into my otherwise colorless skin.
It does!
This stuff is magic. It brushes on so incredibly smooth and shimmers ever-so-slightly without looking over-the-top or just plain silly. I can put on a lot for going out at night, or keep it softer during the day. I can even go without foundation or any other makeup as long as I have this on my cheeks! It's THAT effective.
The texture is gorgeous too! It isn't so much a loose powder as it is almost a creamy base. I have been rather partial to liquid blush in the past, but it tends to fade as the day goes on. Revlon's powder blush clings to your skin, whithout the need of any base or foundation, and lasts all day. If anything, as the day goes on and the color settles, it just looks better.
Of course, there are a few drawbacks, as with everything else. I'll mention them, but let me tell you...none of these "cons" keep me from purchasing the product again and again. Anyway, the blush can be a little bit thick. I think this has something to do with the fact that it is more creamy than normal blushers and clings to your skin so well. If you have oily skin, it might end up looking a little shiny at the end of the day because it provides that "glowy" look. However, the glow isn't always a bad thing. I myself really like the polished makeup style.
It is also very expensive for blush. I paid $17 Canadian for mine. That said, it lasts quite a long time and is good for use right down to the point where you're scooping it out of the corners of the try with your brush.
Cost aside, however, this blush is fantastic and works like a dream. May you never look drab and sallow again!
