Chantecaille Bliss Cheek Shade Review, Photos, Swatches
Bliss
Chantecaille Bliss Cheek Shade ($44.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a light-medium pink with muted, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. The powder seemed to have a pearly overspray, as after the initial layer, it seemed to be mostly matte. (As pretty as oversprays can be, it’s annoying when what lies underneath is matte or near-matte.)
Per the brand, the formula is described as having a “featherweight texture” that yields an “ultra-fine, creamy powder” that “adhere[s] flawlessly” and “blend[s] thoroughly for a natural flush.” The texture was silky, creamy, and finely-milled but didn’t feel dusty or kick up excess powder in the pan. It had good pigmentation, but the texture was forgiving that it could be built up by using a lighter hand or more feathery brush. On my skin, it looked mostly matte but natural, and it seemed to mix well with the natural oils on my face to give it a more natural, stain-like appearance. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Oh my…. this is STUNNING. This is one of those brands that I love but the price tag usually scares me away… however in this case I’m about to make an exception! It just looks so perfect on you!
Just keep in mind that they’re pretty small so don’t get shocked by the size!
There will be six new permanent shades of blush in February according to InStyle Magazine and they look so pretty too!
This looks much more “peachy” applied/swatched than it does in the pan. It looks so pretty in the pan but the peachy application makes this an easy “nope” for me. But it does look so gorgeous!
It is a pretty, “everyday” kind of shade!
There are pinks available as well – and can be be pre-ordered from Nordstrom. This is what the Philanthropy blushes are about! When you purchase any of the pink or peachy shades, you’ll be supporting causes like the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Foundation, the Marine Conservation Institute, and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (5% of the net proceeds of every one sold benefit a charity). Now that’s something to smile about.
If I can’t see something in person, if I have to order it and hope for the best, it’s a total pass for me so ordering from Nordstrom’s and paying the pretty steep Canadian price for a blush – nope.
This shade here, with the rose imprint, is Bliss. The new philanthropy blush with the Monarch imprint/charity is the same shade – just part of the permanent line. Just in case that helps anyone in differentiating the shades or avoiding accidentally duping.
This pulls pink on me, but I’m fairer and cooler than Christine.
LOVE THE EARRINGS
Thank you!
Such a beautiful blush. I’m also digging the blush/earrings combo!
Thank you for reviewing some Chantecaille products! I’d be thrilled if you get a chance to review a few of their other blushes, especially their peachy shades. I don’t own much Chantecaille but I love what I have — I still use their beautiful Les Petales De Rose highlighter on a regular basis.
Sorry, this is all I have!
I always regretted passing on that trio back in the day. Nice to see the blush cone back though. Now, if they’d re-release the Coral Reef illuminating powder I’d be ecstatic! My fell and shattered. I’m still sad about it!
Very natural flush effect on your cheeks! I love it on your skintone or lighter. On me, I believe it wouldn’t have much impact or color to speak of, I’m afraid.
It’s a beautiful accompaniment to your gorgeous eyelook, Christine. The blush, while beautiful and brightening, seems highly dupable.
I bought this some time ago, but I would not rate it so high because it is quite small yet expensive. It also proved to be quite fragile!! Before I even hit pan, it exploded to a somewhat fine powder in my purse!!
I do love the brand, though. She has some new blushes out now, “philanthropy” ones which benefit wildlife causes revisited from past palettes. If the “wild horse” blush is the same color as the one in the wild horses palette, whew! It is quite beautiful! I may need it! (fingers crossed!)
Usually I don’t have such a problem with an overspray. However, with this one, is it just me or is this one like, EXTRA deceptive? Additionally, is it really ONLY .08 oz? That is practically sample sized!
This sounds like a great formula and it is cruelty free. I am looking forward to see the other shades.
This would be a great blush to use with the highlighters that have some color to it, so it wouldn’t be too much color or shimmer. I am also curious about the other colors that some of your readers mentioned.
Oh, this is really nice. If I wasn’t on a low buy, I’d get this.
Hi !!! Not related to the post but i am soooo distracted by your beautiful earrings these days in every post !!!!
