Illamasqua Powder Blusher

Today, I want to show you my newest obsession! I mentioned in my last Spending Ban Update (which you can read here) that I had been gifted some lovely goodies to review which made me really excited - and the Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Hussy is one of them!

I much prefer powder blushers over cream blushes, so I was extremely delighted by this choice!

The first thing you notice when you buy anything from Illamasqua is the amazing packaging! This chic and sleek black squared case is perfect to throw in the handbag or keep on your vanity, with a lovely viewing window to make finding your preferred colour a lot easier! 

As you can see, Hussy is a shocking pink colour with a lovely matte finish. I love how bright this colour is, yet can also be so wearable at the same time, depending on how you apply it!

As you can see, it's extremely easy to pick up the product, and the colour is very pigmented! Use a light touch to achieve the perfect day to day flush on your cheeks, or a heavy hand to create bold, candy coloured cheeks!

I love how easy this product is to use, and it's quality is obvious. The colour is pigmented and very long lasting, one of the rare blushes I have that will last all day long without the need to reapply. It will even continue to show up over a reapplication of translucent powder, which usually makes any other of my blushes disappear!

1. Not blended

2. Blended

As you can see, the colour can be very bright if not blended. I have blended it to my liking in the second swatch, so you can see how wearable the shade can be.

Blending Hussy was an absolute breeze, unlike some other blushes I have tested and tried in the past! I really like blending this colour, but also wearing it heavy handed, to give my face a pop of colour!

Face Swatch!

As you can see, it can be blended in really nicely to make a very safe for work look!

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this blusher! As a long term admirer of Illamasqua, I have to say I regret not trying their products sooner. I will most certainly be heading out to buy more of these in different colours, as the range is very diverse!

At only $28AU (compared to £18, which is roughly about $26AU) we are not paying a lot more than internationally, so this is definitely worth testing out next time you are at an Illamasqua counter! (or if you're feeling daring, buy online here or here!)

Have you tried this blusher before? If so, what did you think?
