Bobbi Brown Nude Pink Blush

Bobbi Brown Nude Pink Blush ($24.00 for 0.13 oz.) is described as the “palest pink.” While new, it’s being added to the permanent range, so you don’t have to worry about it selling out! :) I would describe it as a blue-based, cotton candy pink–that’s just slightly muted. NARS Gaiety is much cooler and bluer. NYX English Rose is less blue-toned. MAC So Sweet, So Easy is lighter. Bobbi Brown Pretty Pink is warmer. Urban Decay Quickie is a little brighter. Chanel Tweed Fuchsia is warmer.

Bobbi Brown’s blush formula is supposed to feel silky and have long-lasting wear. The texture is very soft and smooth–it has a very finely-milled texture that applies with a mostly matte finish. What I really liked was how the matte finish didn’t make this a powdery product, which can often happen with drier, matte textures like this one. It doesn’t look dry or patchy on the cheeks either–it has a very soft, natural appearance without shimmer or sheen. I wore this last week to test out the wear, and this shade managed to last for a solid eight hours. I love that the blush can be used as a standalone product or popped out and inserted into a larger palette–even if it is a third to a half the size of your average blush.

Where to Buy: Bobbi Brown, $24

The Glossover

It's an exceptionally nice matte blush--not dry, powdery, or chalky on, which is surprising, because it is a lighter shade! It's a soft color overall, so it's not going to produce a big pop of pink, but you can true-to-pan color if you so desire.

Love your lipstick, what is it?

hiya, how does this compare to MAC Stunner?

Stunner is darker, yellower.

I love the pink blush on you!!!! What's on your lips? I love the color, it goes really well with your skitone!!! <3

what i'm looking for is a light blush like this!!! Is there other cheaper one can instead of this?

I listed all possible dupes in the post!

really pretty! love how natural looking these blushes are <3

What have you got on your lips in this post? I had a BB "makeup facelift" yesterday and got the Nude Pink blush, love your lips with it!

Love this! Looks like a great blush for us pale girls

Sooo beautiful tone, I would use it everyday! so soft pinky tone! thanks for sharing! I love blush!

love the look and the earrings

Fear mongering is all that is. If you read the actual FDA intro and FAQ, it says the lead found is not of concern and within the limits for cosmetics. http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ProductandIngredientSafety/ProductInformation/ucm137224.htm "FDA scientists developed an analytical method, published in 2009, for measuring the amount of lead in lipstick. Our initial findings, as well as our expanded findings posted in December 2011, confirm that the amount of lead found in lipstick is very low and does not pose safety concerns."

This looks gorgeous on you! Will you be reviewing Dior's Rosy Glow blush? Just wondering how the BB compares....?

the blue tones really show up in the skin. this would suit me much better if the colour was more true to pan.

I love how pretty and natural this looks. It's not even too dark.

Christine, do you know how this compares to Illamasqua Katie?

Pretty! Reminds me a bit of TheBalm Down Boy... Love your earrings too!

I was thinking the same thing! Reminds me of Down Boy

I looove your earrings!!! Totally unrelated to this post ... I know; but I had to say! :)

Is it similar to Mac's Well Dressed at all?

Well-Dressed is lighter to me!

This blush looks amazing on you. I love how it looks with the lipglass that you are wearing.

Looks great on you. May I ask what lipstick you are wearing?

I don't remember, sorry!
