Boy oh boy, do I have some blush eye candy today for you or what.

I recently had the awesome possum opportunity to try out four beautiful blushes from Dior’s Summer 2013 Mix and Match blush collection. I’ve not tried any cream blushes from Dior before so this was an eye-opener for me. The four blushes are the Capri, Bikini, Pareo and Panama.

Except for the pale pink Capri, these matte blushes are highly pigmented. You’d need to work the Capri a bit more for the colour to show on the skin. As for the rest, I had to be careful in how I applied the blush because I almost always picked up too much colour.

Even though they look like cream in the pots, they actually feel more like baked blushes. Baked makeup usually looks quite dry on top but these ones are very smooth. I’m not entirely sure if the blushes are baked but just in case they are, I’ll be paying close attention when using the blushes and making sure I keep the lids on as much as I can to prevent drying out. One of the blushes have started to dry out; in fact, the entire blush fell out of the pot like baked biscuit!

Capri: Pale pink

Panama: Orange-coral

There’s almost a very fine powdery feel to them when you swipe your finger across the top.. I like using my fingers with this blush rather than a brush because it gives a more natural finish. I don’t normally use my fingers to apply blush unless they’re cream blushes (even so, I’d usually prefer a stippling brush) but these just look better on the skin when fingers are used.

Bikini: Rose pink

Pareo: Bright pink

These are gorgeous, GORGEOUS blushes that any blush fiends would love to have in their collection. I hope you’ve enjoyed a bit of the eye candy above. As for me, oh HELL YES.

Dior’s Summer 2013 Mix and Match blushes retail at AU$53 each and are now available at Dior cosmetic counters at major departmental stores and selected pharmacies nationwide.
