Pretty Vulgar Mirror, Mirror Make Them Blush Powder Blush Review, Photos, Swatches
Mirror Mirror
Pretty Vulgar Mirror, Mirror Make Them Blush Powder Blush ($26.00 for 0.20 oz.) is an intense, bright pink with cooler undertones and warmer, gold shimmer. It was richly pigmented–a little went a long way–and even a light hand would be highly recommended to start, regardless of your skin tone! The base color is cooler, while the gold shimmer adds noticeable warmth, though it still looked a little cooler-toned when blended out on my skin tone but may appear cooler on cool undertones and warmer on those with stronger, warm undertones.
The formula is supposed to have “silky smooth” feel, long-wear, and be “pigment-rich.” The powder was smooth, dense but not stiff or difficult to pick up, and very blendable on the skin. The latter was absolutely key given how pigmented the product was, and while shimmery, it did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture at all. When I tested the blush for wear, the color wore exceptionally well for nine hours before I started to see some fading.

My first thought: ColourPop’s elusive Boba put on steroids! ?
Yep, I definitely must get this stunner! I like this even more than the Becca x CT palette, tbh.
It’s an intense shade!
Well, this one rated a LOT better than the other one! A+ is very impressive
Gorgeous blush and cute name (but for the “vulgar” bit). But given the inflated price here, I will stick with Clinique or MAC Into the Pink (once they restock).
I like it but it might be a bit much for me!
It’s beautify. I need this in my life. Is this like NARS super organism?
It looks so so amazing on you Christine! ! So glowy and beautiful. ?. I’ll for sure be picking this up!
This one is a stunner!
It is!
My jaw dropped and I’m pretty sure hearts and stars floated from my eyes when I saw that beautiful swatch! I don’t know if my casperesque skin would ever be able to pull that off, I just don’t think it’s possible to get it light enough of blended enough. What do you think, Christine and Temptalia family?
Fan brush 🙂
