See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.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 (that is easily applied more sheerly or layered for true-to-pan color) and good wear (eight to nine hours). Coup de Genie is more like a highlighting blush than a true blush; there is visible color, though, so lighter skin tones will see color and warmth while darker skin tones will see more of a sheen. It had mostly opaque pigmentation, which was paired with a very soft, silky texture, so it could be sheered out easily or just lightly diffused along the edges. The color wore well for eight hours.A note on packaging: Surratt’s range comes in lightweight plastic pans, which aren’t ideal for long-term use (particularly if traveling or putting in a makeup bag), as his products are designed to be put into custom palette solutions. Personally, I put magnets on the back of each and keep them in freestyle palettes (like a Z-Palette) as it is more economical. 10 4 Coup de Genie Coup de Genie APermanent Where to Buy Affiliate Links SephoraBeautylishNET-A-PORTERBarneysb-glowing More Retailers RevolveViolet Grey Int'l Retailers Cult Beauty 10 4 Where to Buy Affiliate Links SephoraBeautylishNET-A-PORTERBarneysb-glowing More Retailers RevolveViolet Grey Int'l Retailers Cult Beauty9.5Product9.5Pigmentation10Texture8.5Longevity5Application94%Total We hope you'll consider supporting Temptalia by shopping through our links below.

WARPAINTandUnicorns Fairest, Olive, warm undertones. Combination skin. »It looks so pretty, but surprising darker from the pan. 😉
Kiss & Make-up Light-Medium, Yellow undertones. Very Oily skin. »Oh my, so sparkly! Not for me! But definitely pretty on you.
Claire LOoh, very tempted to get this! It’s so pretty and peachier than Gwen Stefani’s Angel which I already have.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »A little sparklier, too!
Nancy T Medium-Tan, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin. »Beautiful! But yeah, of course I’d love it as I have 2 of its dupes: Nyx Narcissistic and CP Highly Waisted. But those golden-peachy shades sure are reminiscent of candlelight, I suppose that’s what I love about them.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Yay! Glad you have dupes 🙂
Mariella Fair, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »This looks so pretty but seems to be more of highlighter than an actual blush, an observation born out by the dupes – so many of them seem to be highlighters too.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I think on fair skin, it’ll be both, but on deeper skin tones, a highlighter for sure!
Rachel R. Fairest, Neutral undertones. Oily skin. »I know these blushes are kind of spendy, but man are they stunning.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »They’re really pretty on, but I wish they had at least came in a decent compact for the price.
Erin Fairest, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »Very nice, maybe a bit too peach for me but I love the look of it.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I could see it being too peach for some!
Genevieve Fairest, Pink undertones. Dry skin. »Just a gorgeous shade – shame it comes in a plastic container….
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »That’s the biggest downside 🙁
