What the gurus are saying

This blush earns consistent praise for its barely-there nude pink shade and the soft, dewy glow it brings to skin, sitting somewhere between a no-makeup blush and a bronzer for a naturally flushed look. Reviewers love how seamlessly it blends and can be applied with either a sponge or brush, layering smoothly over contour without visible edges. The balmy texture makes it feel more like a gloss than a traditional powder, which suits anyone after a subtle, skin-like finish rather than noticeable color.

"This is from Makeup by Mario. It's the soft pop plumping blush veil in the shade barely blushing. It's just a nice nudie pink. Very soft, very subtle. I love the finish of these blushes. I've been using them like crazy lately. It's like a no blush blush, but it's also not like a bronzer. It's just somewhere in between where you've got a little soft color on the cheeks. I felt like this blush would be perfect for this look."

"I wanted to reach for this again, this is the barely blushing shade of the Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil. I just thought this might be a nice super muted color to go with a little bit more of a bold eye today. That soft pop blush definitely gives more of a balmy glow to the skin."

"For my blush, I've just, I can't stop talking about this, it's the Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil in the shade Barely Blushing, just like a nice natural color. I love it. And I just put the butt of my sponge and then I just pop it and since I haven't done my concealer, I'm going to kind of like build it up a little bit extra because that concealer is probably going to go over a bit of it."

"For the cream side for my blush I'm going to use Makeup by Mario, it's so nice. This is the Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil in Barely Blushing, gorgeous color. I actually typically apply this blush with a sponge which I kind of like, but you can apply it with a brush. You can see how seamless that cheek looks, so we have that really nice definition of the cheek with the contour, and then you can't even really see a distinction between the bronzer and the blush like they just kind of become one."
