Makeup Geek Love Affair Blush

Makeup Geek Love Affair Blush ($9.99 for 0.15 oz. in pan form; $12.99 for compact) is a medium-dark, pink-coral with warm undertones and a satin finish. IT Cosmetics Pretty in Peony (P, $24.00) is more shimmery, warmer. Milani Lady Rouge (06) (LE, $7.99) is more matte, brighter. Guerlain Madame Rougit (LE, $67.00) is lighter. MAC Simmer (LE, $25.00) is more shimmery, warmer. NYX Pinched (P, $5.00) is warmer. NARS Amour (P, $29.00) is more muted, warmer. MAC Mocha (P, $21.00) is darker, more muted. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

It had excellent color payoff, both true to pan and quite pigmented. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and almost buttery, which made the blush easy to apply and soften and blend on the skin without it turning splotchy. The finish is luminous without emphasizing pores–more of a light glow than anything shimmery or frosty. This shade lasted for nine hours on me before starting to show signs of fading.

Thanks for this review babes 😀 I was making a list for a huge MUG order for my birthday next month. This looks perfect. I just wanted to know about other specifics since I’m oily and have huge pores on my cheeks 🙂

What a beautiful shade! It’s just the color I love but I think it’s a bit bright for me. I have to look at the MUG website to find a peachier, lighter shade. I definitely want to buy one of these. I thought I wanted MAC Sea Me Feel Me (is that the name, lol) but when I swatched it in the store, I was disappointed because it was darker than I expected and it didn’t swatch well, i.e. no color payoff, for me

Gotta love pink! Marlena’s swatch for this blush is so much more pigmented and I was afraid it would too much. Your swatch shows it is more wearable. I was eyeing Spellbound, Romance and Infatuation for my first order but I might have to put this one on the list! 🙂
