What the gurus are saying

This blush delivers a natural glow that blurs the line between color and highlight without looking glittery or overdone. Gurus praise how silky and weightless it feels, and note it works beautifully as a two-in-one cheek and illuminating product. The catch: it's heavily pigmented, so a tiny amount goes a long way, and applying too much is easy to do. Most find success dabbing it on their hand first before blending onto cheeks.

"It is really nice. [...] I've been using it a few times now and it applies really nice. It gives you kind of a little bit of a glow. It's almost like a highlighter and a blush combined in one. It's really nice. [...] I'm wearing it today and it just looks really nice. It doesn't scream like too shiny or too much. It just gives you kind of a natural glow. I'd heard great things about it for a long time, probably for years, and I hadn't tried it until recently."

"This was my go-to blush for months and months and months. It has this super soft kind of silky touch but it is super illuminating without being sparkly. You do have to be careful with it because it is so heavily pigmented. I have completely overdone it, it is very, very easy to do. You need the smallest amount, I am not joking, the smallest amount. The color has this shimmer to it, it's like sparkly goodness without being sparkly."

"It's a two for one product as well, it's a blush and an illuminator together. [...] It's quite silky and it's weightless and you don't feel it, it doesn't cake, it doesn't flake off. I do suggest going pretty light with it because it is quite heavily pigmented, so I tend to dab it a little bit on my hand or on something else before applying it directly to my cheeks. [...] This combo product means that it's kind of a one-and-one cheek color and highlighter, it just makes it super simple."
