Pat McGrath Fleurtatious Divine Blush Review & Swatches
Fleurtatious
Pat McGrath Fleurtatious Divine Blush ($38.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a light-medium, rosy beige with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation, which was still more than marketed, so you’ll want to use a lighter hand or less-dense brush to achieve truly sheer coverage from the get-go if desired.
The powder was smooth, velvety, and a little powdery in the pan, but the product itself applied evenly, smoothly, and did not appear dry or dusty on my skin. This color just barely shows up on my complexion (light to light-medium in depth) as a point of reference. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$38.00/0.34 oz. - $111.76 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "featherlight, long-wearing" that "build effortlessly from sheer to subversive." The blushes are available in two finishes--demi-matte and satin pearl--and range from more muted to more vivid in color. The biggest "downfall" of the formula was that it was rather pigmented than buildable, so one could use a lighter hand to get more buildable coverage, but I found I had to use a light to moderate hand to ensure I didn't over-apply each shade.
The consistency was smooth, silky, and lightly creamy to the touch; it was a touch powdery in the pan but had more slip than most powder blushes on the market, but it was definitely a powder-based formula. The product applied well to bare skin as well as over foundation, as it diffused well along the edges without picking up base products.
The satin pearl finish was luminous but not overtly shimmery, so it did not emphasize my skin's natural texture. They wore around nine hours on me before fading visibly.

Yup.. I bought this and I am wearing it today and it’s gorgeous. Yes, it reminds me of my beloved Sydney Grace Time Stops.. but it is subtly different and a bit warmer. It looks fab with the quad which I am also wearing today.
I love this one! Been wearing it a lot. :o)
Strange, but true, this particular shade showed up just as strongly on Alicia (KinkySweat)! I’m not sure what sort of magic Mother Pat put in this one, but I really like it for something naturally blushing.
I’m obsessed with this! I didn’t order because it’s so light but I think it’s gorgeous on its own if you want a more natural flush on tan skin.
Well this is beautiful. Added to my wishlist!
I’m very much into deep, deep berry blushes right now because with a light hand, they read exceptionally beautiful on me. So I’ve switched from rosy nudes to berry blushes.
However.
This might make me want to wear rosy nudes again! What a gorgeous shade. I just wish Pat didn’t print “sexquisite seductions” on the back of the blush, I’m tired of cosmetic brands being bawdy for the sake of being bawdy. :/
This is a beautiful blush tone.. think I’m going to get this and the bronze rose color.. forget the name of it..
This is the shade I went with and I absolutely love it. Mother Pat knows what she’s doing, this color looks amazing on all skin tones.
That is gorgeous and would work well with my porcelain complexion.
This would be a great everyday blush for me. If it’s around during the sales I might get it.
I’ve been eyeing this since the sneak peeks and stalking all the new swatches and reviews, but I’m so confused, some Fleurtatious swatches look very peachy-warm with slight gold shimmer (like dead-on to MAC Warm Soul), some cooler pink or more neutral pink like this swatch. I will eventually pick it up regardless, but wonder if it’s a shade that just pulls different depending on your skin tone, or if there is some inconsistency in production?
