Sydney Grace Peaches and Cream Blush Review & Swatches
Peaches and Cream
Sydney Grace Peaches and Cream Pressed Blush ($9.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark coral with moderate, warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had intense color coverage in a single layer, where a little went a long way, so I’d suggest using a lighter hand to make it easier to apply and blend out (it’s usually easier to build up than it is to sheer out, which was true here).
The texture was soft, silky, and smooth to the touch with a smidgen of powderiness present in the pan but not on the face. The blush applied well to bare skin and diffused easily along the edges. The color started to fade visibly along the edges after nine hours of wear.

Formula Overview
$9.00/0.25 oz. - $36.00 Per Ounce
It's a more pigmented blush, so it favors those who need or want richer coverage achieved with less product or in one layer, but those who prefer sheerer, more buildable blush may find there is a learning curve. The formula was very blendable and easy to work with, so I think it is more forgiving, particularly shades with some shimmer in them. The matte shades can be slightly powdery but do not look dry or dusty when applied, though they can darken a bit if not applied over drier or more matte skin (or a base). They wore between eight and 10 hours on me before fading noticeably.

Peaches & Cream looks amazing on you! I have got to get this particular shade. It just feels like summertime to me!
What a beautiful color and performs beautifully. I haven’t purchased any blushes from Sydney Grace but now I will need to look into them. I haven’t purchased a new blush in awhile. I
This is an absolutely perfect shade for me. Usually CP’s peachy shades have had that orangey undertone, but not this one. It looks perfect. This is the shade I have been waiting for.
More lovliness. SG wants all my money.
