Product Review
The Body Shop's Baked to Last Blush caught my attention specifically because of how compactly it is placed on the container. I also love the fact that it is packaged together with a highlighter.
Pros
- Shockproof. Mine has dropped several times yet the powder inside the container is still intact without any visible signs of cracks because of how it is compactly placed together inside its container.
- Easy to apply and blend.
- Waste proof. As mentioned above due to how they are compactly placed together inside the container it does not pick up excess powder in the blush brush so no need to tap out the excess. You can easily control how much blush to put on your face too.
- Two products in one: blush and highlighter. I use this for my everyday look and would normally blend out both the blush and the highlighter. It creates a beautiful pearly pink metallic finish.
- Very pigmented.
- Last long.
- The blush alone gives a soft sheen finish to your cheeks when applied.
Cons
- The petal shade doesn't look too harmonious and natural on my skin. Perhaps I should have chosen the coral shade instead of my skin tone.
- A bit expensive.
Apply small amounts of this product on your cheeks first and continue by building it up until satisfied. I would suggest to not overdo the application else you'll end up having an overly shiny face. Remember we wanted to achieve a glowy youthful finish.
The Body Shop's Baked to Last Blush is a lovely product though I'm not a fan of shimmery makeup products. I do hope they will create matte versions of this.
