    I love the shade nude burn and the creaminess of the product. It gives my cheeks a nice subtle glow. I just wish it came with an application wand.

    Sheer and pretty

    a year ago
    I don’t normally wear much face makeup, but this a gentle wash of color for days when my skin looks a little dull. Really appreciate having a good non-powder option for blush. You do have to be a little careful with the tube but beyond that it’s super easy to control how much you apply.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Little product, zero coverage

    Almost nothing in the tube (had to start squeezing about 3/4 of the way up when new), and zero coverage. I’m extremely fair-skinned, and this doesn’t show at all. Really disappointed. Don’t recommend.

    Beautiful Cheek Color

    2 years ago
    This blush is beautiful and lasts all day. It is very easy to apply when on the cheek. Love the color, also. I feel there ought to be an applicator doe foot or "cushion" as the product, when squeezed to get the product out of the tube, literally flies out on my clothes, the sink, or floor. There is also a lot of waste because of this. Please add an applicator. This product would then be Holy Grail.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Just skip it

    The point of blush is to have some pigment, in order to get any from this one you have to use a lot of it, it blends out to be very patchy, and half of the tube was nothing but air. their lipstick makes a better blush then this.

    The best gel blush I ever tried

    2 years ago
    The formula is incredibly nice and the blush looks gorgeous if applied correctly. It is a gel blush as the name states and you basically need to apply it as any gel blush, you dub it into your skin without dragging or pulling. When applied like this it gives you a very pretty natural glow from within that looks natural. And as it is a gel it also blurs the appearance of pores which is a nice bonus. I am really into cream/liquid/gel blushes and I've been trying out all those popular ones from Sephora but in my opinion nothing beats this one from Maybelline, it has the perfect formula.

    Nice touch of color

    I did not like this product right away. Applying with your fingers does not get the job done. I started just dotting my cheeks and using a good brush to blend it in. That gives such better results. And if it’s too light, the color is buildable

    not great, smears too much

    3 years ago
    I love the color of the cheek heat I bought, but it is very difficult to apply so that it looks nice. The formula is so thin it is almost like using watercolors. It looks like it just evaporates off of the skin after applying it. I had great difficulty getting it to apply evenly even if I patted it on.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    I loved this blush! I really like how it’s a gel/liquid consistency so I can use it with my fingers and a brush. It blends easily and lasts a few hours. I do sometimes have to reapply but because I love my blush to be very bright and vibrant. On a day I wear it to work it lasts all day since I go for a more subtle look.

    The perfect sheer tint!

    3 years ago
    My weekday makeup routine is super simple because I leave for work extremely early in the morning. Just enough to make me look like a slightly healthier/better version of my natural face. This cream blush nails that look for me. I dab a little on my cheek bones and blend with my ring finger. It gives me the perfect amount of color. I like that it’s buildable, too, so if I need to add a little extra, I can do that without overdoing it.
