Brillante Idée
Surratt Beauty Brillante Idée Artistique Blush ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark coral-orange with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage, so only the barest tap of the brush was necessary for semi-sheer coverage on my skin tone.
The Artistique Blush formula is supposed to have a “natural-looking glow” with a “satin finish.” What I think separates the formula apart from many others is the texture–smooth, finely-milled, incredibly blendable–and the finish–often satiny, natural but not noticeably shimmery. I think that this shade is a good example of the formula, as the brightness and richness of the color are still easy to manage due to the blendability of the formula. If you use a lighter hand, it seemed to look more coral, whereas a heavier hand gave it a more orange-red vibe. The color wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me before fading.

Formula Overview
$32.00/0.14 oz. - $228.57 Per Ounce
The Artistique Blush formula is supposed to have a “naturally glowing finish.” The formula is consistent: the blushes have a very soft, almost cream-like powder texture that blends out effortlessly to a luminous sheen with semi-opaque to opaque coverage (but is soft and blendable enough to be applied sheer if preferred). Most shades lasted between eight and nine hours on me.
The only downside is that the packaging will feel underwhelming for the price point, as they are sold as refill pans with very thin plastic coverings and are designed to be housed in the brand's freestyle palettes.

Ooooooh I liiiiiike it!
Yay!
Yes, the Surratt blushes are known to be super finely milled, and with such a pigmented color like this, it’s key. The color is stunning
I agree – if it wasn’t blendable, it be SO hard to work with!
I like that but I’m not sure if I could pull it off. I wish my Sephora had them to test.
I hope you can try it, Erin!
Beautiful color! I appreciate that the blush is buildable and versatile.
Me too! 🙂
Not a good color for be, but beautiful on you, Christine!
Thank you, Fran!
I have Ginger Pop, so this isn’t a must have. I do think Surratt makes incredibly lust-worthy blushes, they all seem sooo good.
Beautiful, cheery shade of orangish coral! Love it, especially for spring til fall. However, it’s definitely my plan to try to get Nars Unfiltered I cheek palette if it’s even still around in January.
