The Luxe Color Blush formula is supposed to be a “silky” powder that is “long-lasting and fade-proof.” The powder was soft, smooth, and finely-milled with a lightweight texture that sat well on the skin and didn’t look powdery or dry on. The consistency was a little thinner than Burning Up, for reference. It blended well and had semi-opaque, buildable coverage with a finish that became had a natural bit of sheen to it as it was buffed into the skin. The color lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

I’m not crazy about the way it looks in the swatches, but on your cheeks it looks really cute.
Thank you!
With so many blushes running strongly cool or warm, it’s nice to see this type of blush which I think is ultimately more versatile
I wish more neutral blushes existed!
Pretty look, goes well with CP Lumiere lipstick!
Thanks, Katherine!
Nice, natural. Goes very well with Lumiere. Would work for most minimalist looks. Thanks for another Zoeva.
My pleasure, KJH 🙂
A lovely color, especially for fair-to-light skinned people, I think! I’m tempted…
I agree — ideal for fair skin tones!
Hmm, me thinks this shade is a smidgen to light for me, but it looks really good on you! It seems to apply to the cheeks with a deeper, more intense pigmentation than arm swatches or its pan color. Or no?
It is definitely a light shade! The texture seems to make it darken a bit on the skin – kind of like some MAC matte/satin blushes.
That looks like a great spring pink for fair skin.
I think it would be!
Very nice.
Glad you liked it, Maggie!
Love this! I love the embossing on it and it looks beautiful on you! My Zoeva list is so long now! I could totally make that hefty shipping cost count now! Of course, Tom Ford is getting ready to launch another collection. I’m just going to have to work Zoeva in it appears. Thank you for introducing more brands like this to me Christine!
Tom Ford’s launches are getting too big for my wallet, LOL!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
Perfect for your skin tone! 🙂
THIS is one of my favorite blushes! I love this neutral color, I feel like I can wear it with anything! Looks great on you as usual ; )
Happy to hear you love it too, Emme!
This looks like a lovely neutral for fair skin. Just in time for spring!
I bet it would work great on fair skin tones!
I love this as a cheaper alternative to NARS Impassioned that I have been eyeing for a while but I just CANNOT get Impassioned out of my head! I really like that muted mauve pinkness in these blushes that for some reason I have made up my mind is super unique lol
Also do you know a reliable source to get it in the US?
Sounds like Impassioned is the one to get!
I only purchase Zoeva directly as they don’t have a U.S. distributor.
Pretty color and finish. Terrific price. Don’t have a very light one so may try it.
Happy to hear it!
Wow…. I love this. Such a versatile shade… Buildable… Good quality… And above all… The price point. Sll the other dupes run around 30 dollars or more. At this price.. This is an absolute steal..my daily shade was naked rose bu illamasqua… But now i m absolutely enamoured with this shade
It’s a hard shade to find in lower-end options, I think!
That looks really pretty on you, and I like your choice of Lumiere to go with it!
Thanks, Pami!
This is exactly the colour I’ve been looking for. A delicate pink, slightly powdery. To my great detriment, they charge $16 for shipping to the US. Too much for me 🙁
It is a flat rate, so it’s only worth it if you make a larger order, unfortunately!
