The Baked Blush-n-Brighten formula is supposed to be “smooth” and “long-wearing” with “a blend of rich, marbleized color.” It had good color payoff, though not fully opaque, with a fairly smooth, blendable texture–it ran a little dusty–that sat well on the skin without emphasizing pores or the skin’s natural texture. The finish had a soft, luminous sheen that didn’t look overly shimmery. The blush wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

This looks pretty, a very versatile color and finish!
It’s gorgeous!
Oh, too pretty 🙂
Glad you liked it! 🙂
This one is really gorgeous! I love the corally pink color with the shimmer.
It is!
I like the soft sheen on this one. And that Sephora Good Mood eyeliner on you is always perfection.
Thank you! 🙂
I completely forgot I have that blush since it’s not in my favorites drawer!. I bought it because I love the colors in the swirls, it’s so pretty, but I only used it a few times because it’s talc based, and I prefer to use face products without talc if possible because it causes breakouts on me. It’s a shame her “baked” powder products are mostly talc, I would use many of them if they weren’t.
Oh, no! Maybe you should destash/give to a friend if they break you out 🙁
Gotta say, I am really liking these Laura Geller Baked Blush ‘n Brighten cheek shades. This one is no exception. Gorgeous glow factor to it!
I like them! I don’t think one needs too many from the range, since they run together after a few, but one or two, definitely!
Tropics Hues is my favorite Laura Geller blush! I love the color and lasting power!
How long does it last for you, Alicia?
It usually wears eight+ hours before it starts breaking down on my skin. Lasts all day at work and I still have good color by the time I get without having to touch up. It’s one of the longest wearing blushes in my entire collection. I have two other blushes from this line, and while great, they are not as long wearing on me (the Apricot one will usually wear well for six-ish hours but it’s almost gone or significantly faded by the time I get home from work). Maybe I just got mine from a good batch! LOL!
Very nice! Well, I am glad at least one wears well 😉
So pretty on you Christine – a real rosy colour.
Thank you, Genevieve!
Really pretty! I had Pink Grapefruit….but, this looks even better.
It’s a nice one! 🙂
Oh, it’s gorgeous! This will be on my wish-list for sure.
Yay! 🙂
Very pretty! I’m intrigued.
Yay!
I like it! It might be a little too warm but it’s very lush looking without being disco.
Glad you liked it, Erin!
