Make Up For Ever B210 Artist Face Color (Blush) Review, Photos, Swatches
B210
Make Up For Ever B210 Artist Face Color – Blush ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a vibrant, medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a satiny sheen. It had ultra-fine shimmer that gave it a soft glow on the skin but did not look overtly shimmery and definitely not metallic once applied. The consistency was soft, smooth, and not quite as dense as most shades in the range. It had rich, opaque color payoff in a single layer, and thankfully, it was easy to blend out along the edges for a diffused gradient of color. The blush wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

Formula Overview
$23.00/0.17 oz. - $135.29 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "intense color payoff" with a "long-lasting finish." The range is split into three types--Highlighters, Sculpting Powders, and Blushes--that is easy to determine by the first letter of the shade name (H for Highlighter, S for Sculpting, and B for Blush).
There are three finishes--matte, shimmer, and pearl but was less obvious. In fact, the majority of the "matte" shades were more like semi-matte or natural matte where there were no distinctive shimmer particles but they seemed to take on the natural finish of the skin, which gave the "mattes" a particularly seamless finish on the skin but might be dewier on oilier skin types than desired. None of the 34 shades available were frosted or metallic except three of the highlighters (H100, H106, H312).
The pigmentation ranged from medium to opaque, depending largely on the shade, though they were always buildable if they were not opaque in a single layer. Some of the deeper, more matte shades were less forgiving and took more effort to diffuse and blend, even when I used a lighter hand or a more feathery brush. The texture was smooth, velvety, and moderately dense without any powderiness or dustiness in the pan. The formula has lasted between eight and ten hours on me.

Ingredients
I like the glowy effect that the fine shimmer gives. It is a very everyday kind of a blush, I like it a lot.
On my list, it goes!
Really lovely look Christine, you are stunning!
Thank you, Marie-Estelle!

another one to add to my wishlist. MUFE is doing a good job with these blushes.
They have some real winners in the range!
Have there been any misses in this collection so far? They all look so beautiful on the skin 🙂
There were a few!
B210 is another win in my book! Not sure I actually need it yet, because MAC Sugar Or Syrup, but it’s there if I do instead of being LE. Something about a good, solid performing yellow-pink just hits all the right notes for me!
It’s a beauty! 😀
Very nice.
It was!
Gorgeous, beautiful shade.
Agreed!
What do you know… another beautiful shade! 🙂
I’m going to have a hard time just picking a few of these blush shades to buy they’re all gorgious.
