Buxom Swept Away True Hue Blush
Fair Maidens Get Swept Away with Buxom
Buxom Swept Away True Hue Blush ($24.00 for 0.17 oz.) is described as a “peachy nude.” It’s a pale peach with a hint of pink and a subtle sheen. MAC Stay By Me is actually a bit similar. NARS Sex Appeal is a bit more peach, less pink. It has a lot in common with Sex Appeal, as it’s the kind of shade that isn’t universal but works really well for some.
Buxom’s True Hue formula is supposed to be “silky, sheer, and ultra-buildable.” It’s both sheer and very, very light in color, period, which means it’s not really an appropriate shade for my coloring (it’s just hard to see it!). From what I was able to see and gather from trying it out was that it’s mostly buildable, but it did seem to be just shy of true-to-pan color even when layered heavily. This was actually more likely due to the slightly dry texture, which made getting color more difficult than had it had a softer, creamier texture. Applied to my skin, it worked more as a highlighter; there was a soft, barely-there shimmer-sheen–nice and glowy–without much color. It looked nice, and the glowy sheen lasted a full eight hours on me. I would only recommend this shade for fairer complexions, though.

I’m quite fair but I’m still always afraid to try shades like this. I’m afraid they’ll make me look…I don’t know…ghostly? Or like my skin is really ashy? I need to branch out and try it! It looks nice on you!
Ooh, no, I think it would be lovely 🙂 The subtle sheen in it will keep it from looking ghostly!
Aww, thanks! I’ll try it out!
I think this colour wouldn’t show up on my skin, yet it looks very pretty.
your lip color is FANTASTIC
Yes..one of the best colors on you!
Yes I agree! Looks amazing on her 🙂
You wont even be able to see this color on Snow White. So little amount. Not pigmented.
I’m pretty fair so this is a color I’d like. Also your lips looks AMAZING!!
I like the blush on you, but I LOVE the lip color. The blush might work for me, since I’m fair–I’ll check it out!
Christine, that lip color is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Are you aware you rated the application as 9/5?
But anyway, this looks like something I will be buying!
Thanks!
This looks like it’d be a good highlighter.
I was thinking that too! I wonder if it’d be pigmented enough.
I have this blush but i don’t use it much. I have very fair skin and the color shows up very well but I don’t think it goes too well with my cool toned skin. I agree with the texture being dry. Also, after using it a few times a darker layer formed on parts of the blush as if i had used a dirty brush or something…i don’t know what that is???
I also have the tom ford frantic pink blush which on my skin tone looks just like swept away but the TF has the gold sheen.
I bought this blush and after about a month it became hard and chalky. Am I the only peopn who expierenced this?
you look absolutely stunning in the bottom photo: honestly the best i’ve seen on your website! you should definitely wear that makeup look!
It looks good on you. I would like to try it out too and see if it looks good on me too. But I bet that it will just look natural. I am just worried of knowing the fact that it gets dry after some time.
