I’m Plum Out of Indecent Proposals

bareMinerals The Indecent Proposal Blush ($22.00 for 0.21 oz.) is described simply as a “dusty plum.” It is a darkened plum with subtle red undertones and a very fine dusting of gold micro-shimmer (just barely noticeable when blended out). MAC Stratus is a more intense version–also has a stronger sheen. MAC Notable is more subdued.

Last year, bareMinerals released a pressed version of blushes–as part of the Ready range–after the success of their eyeshadows. I like their blushes, but I’m not as in love with the blush formula as I am with the eyeshadow one. I find the texture of the Ready blushes to be a little stiffer, less dense (lacks that buttery consistency of the eyeshadows). The texture is a smidgen powdery, though finely-milled and soft to the touch. When I wore this, I ended up pushing it to sixteen hours of wear (we took a trip down to Monterey!), and it lasted well for a full ten and looked noticeably faded after sixteen. It’s advertised as “up to eight hours,” so it certainly lives up to that claim and then some.

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Christine, another comparison question (I have some LE products from a few years ago that I’m terrified to run out of).

How would this compare to MAC Prim & Proper, from the Liberty of London collection? I don’t recall seeing a swatch in the gallery to take a look..

Sorry Christine, I found the Prim & Proper swatch!! Please disregard my previous comment! Your thoughts on the comparison would be much appreciated – this blush looks a bit redder?

This is really pretty, and I think it would work really well with my coloring, but I’m also looking forward to the new NARS blush for Spring, so I’ll have to wait on this.

I really wish I wouldn’t have looked at this review, LOL! Man, this one is so tempting me, but I plan on getting the new blush from NARS on Tuesday (Come on, is anyone surprised by that? Didn’t think so, haha.), and I really want to try the newish LORAC powder cheek stains.
