Sydney Grace Pure Love Blush Review & Swatches

Pure Love

Sydney Grace Pure Love Pressed Blush ($9.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a deep, rosy copper with warm undertones and a metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented–to the point where a little went a long way–so I’d recommend using with a lighter hand and building up coverage if you tend to be heavy-handed or prefer a sheerer application of blush/highlight. (I over-applied even for swatching purposes as it was THAT pigmented!)

The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and dense without being thick or too stiff, so it picked up well with both more feathery and denser brushes. It had a strong sheen that emphasized my skin’s texture slightly at higher coverage but blended out easily along the edges. It wore nicely for nine hours before fading noticeably.
