Editor's Review

Goulue is a medium-dark, berry rose with subtle, cooler undertones and warmer gold shimmer. It had good pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that was easy to use. The color wore well for almost eight hours on me. This shade was released previously, and it is presently available as an individual shade for VIB Rouges at Sephora.

I got the smaller version when I became a VIB Rouge and I really do like it. I feel like it compliments my skin well (I'm African American) and its buildable without looking or feeling cakey. I also was thinking about getting a larger version of it because I do really like the color and I'm not a HUGE blush fan. Its a $30 blush which hurts my pockets but the larger version would last for a really long time because you aren't using a lot of it everyday. I would use a stippling brush to apply it; a stippling brush allows for more control over the amount of blush you put on. I would highly recommend this product.

I got a very tiny compact of this (the size of a Nars single eyeshadow) as my VIB Rouge welcome gift for 2016. This is a beautiful shade - sort of a warm raspberry red that I think would be flattering on just about everyone. I am seriously contemplating buying a full size of this, though I doubt I actually need it and I never seem to finish up any makeup products save for skin care and foundations. But this is worth having and not like any other blush I own.
