Tarte Blushing Bride Amazonian Clay Blush
Tarte Blushing Bride Amazonian Clay Blush
($25.00 for 0.20 oz.) is described as a “plummy rose.” It’s a muted raspberry–it’s a bit pink as well as plum–with very faint shimmer. The shimmer looks more obvious in the pan, but it doesn’t translate much onto the skin–there’s a definite sheen once applied, but it’s not a heavy shimmer, so pores are not emphasized. It packs a punch if you aren’t careful! Blushing Bride is richly pigmented but can be applied softly and the soft texture allows for easy blending out if necessary. The hue reminded me of Bobbi Brown Plum, which is a touch pinker.
I had the same wear results with this shade as with Exposed, which was eight hours of good wear, but by the tenth hour, it had disappeared. I was hoping for a bit longer wear, because of the intensity of this color, but no dice! The texture was not as finely milled here, but it was still quite soft without being powdery. I recommend using a stippling blush to apply this color, because it is very intense, and if you use a regular blush brush, you might find the results are too much and require a fair amount of blending out. I also found a stippling brush disturbed the powder less, which meant less excess powder being kicked up.

Lovely shade! I love the lip gloss you’re wearing as well, which one is it?
I wore NARS Flamenco lipstick + Bobbi Brown Aubergine Lipgloss in these photos!
I really really really want this shade!!! It looks so pretty on!
It’s a nice one!
This looks very natural and pretty on you Christine. I might pick some of these up. I’ve found that lately I am preferring to have a more matte blush and then to apply shimmer if I want. That way I can control where and how much shimmer rather than an all in one product for example like shimmer blush.
A lot of the Tarte blushes are matte, so I think you’ll like them!
Gorrgeeeous color Christine!!!
Thanks!
Awww, Christine! You look so pretty with this colour combo. You really do look like you’re…well…blushing! 🙂
Thank you, Christina!
What a pretty, pretty colour!! I’m really interested in these blushes but am currently on a no buy for at least the next 6 months. I’m doing project 10 pan!
Thankfully these are perm 🙂

Gorgeous colour on you, and great pic! Love the make-up look you’re wearing here 🙂
Thanks a lot, Julia!
Oh my gosh, this looks beautiful on you! Stunning photo, as always!
Thanks, Karli!
This was the shade I was really interested in. I’m thinking it would require a really light hand, though, since I’m NC15. Don’t want clown cheeks. That’s a lovely gloss you’re wearing, by the way.
Thank you, Kate! It’s NARS Flamenco lipstick + Bobbi Brown Aubergine Lipgloss 🙂
I really like this! The cheek color with the coordinating eye/lip you have on looks so classic ! 😀
Thank you, Sara!
Total unrelated; but what is that beautiful lipcolour used here?!

I was worried this blush would be too plummy for me to pull off. But it looks so gorgeous on you! I just might have to pick it up! What are you wearing on your lips? It looks gorgeous as well.

Has to be my #1 Favorite blush ATM. It’s the first blush over $20 I’ve paid full price for!
Why did you give the packaging .5 of a higher score? It looks a bit cheap to me, but it is eco friendly.
You can pop the pan out of the palette if you so desire, because it is magnetic. It’s a huge plus, but it also spins around a bit in the pan, so it was slightly mitigated. I don’t know why it looks cheap, though – it’s a travel-friendly, comfortable-to-hold, droppable plastic compact with a mirror inside.
Oo, I didn’t realize it was magnetic. I was staring at my blush 3 days ago and I remember thing…
“Why didn’t the company align this blush when they sold it??” Now I realize it just rotated a bit =D

Christine, what lipstick are you wearing in your photo here, it’s so pretty–

This was my first Tarte blush and I love it.
Btw Tarte claims these blushes wear “UP TO” 12 hours… 8 hours for a powder blush to last is excellent!
The majority of blushes last 8 hours on me, actually. They call it Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush, and in the product description on tartecosmetics.com, it does not say that.
You look flawless! 🙂
Thanks, Kathryn!
🙂 I still am so glad that I got to meet you at the beauty social! <3
but i absolutely love this color on you (as well as what you have on the lips) suits you well! I'm thinking of picking this one up as well! :p
Aw, thanks Khristine! It was great to meet you, too!
How does this compare to the Blushing Bride Cheek stain from Tarte? I’m in love with that color, but not 100% in love with the stick formula!
I don’t think I have that!
I’ve noticed a few comments on how these blushes do not apply well,but I found that if you use the Tarte blush brush,they tend to apply and wear better,for me anyway.I have 5 of these blushes and plan to buy more. I really am impressed with them.
p.s. I love how everyone asks what you are wearing on your lips!You always have the best lip colors!
Thanks for the insight, LRW!
I own this blush and I really love it! It gives my fair warm complexion a healthy rosy look. I love the faint shimmer that doesn’t show up too much on the cheeks but gives a nice sheen.
What do you pair it with?
This is my favorite shade from tarte Amazonian Clay blushes! It looks a wee bit similar with NARS Sin on my cheek, though…
Staying power-wise, this blush last 8 hours on me too, but I find it amazing, because most blushes last only 3-4 hours on my very oily skin. If most people reapply their lipstick, I reapply my lipstick AND my blush on 🙁
I could see it being similar to Sin!
What eyeliner/eyeshadow are you using here? Everything looks fantastic!
I love your lipstick in the bottom picture, do you remember what shade it is?
