Blush is an essential step in the makeup process for adding a flush of natural color back to your face, after you cancel out all the original tones with your foundation base.
There are many different types of blush, but today we are focusing in on POWDER blush. Powder blushes consists of red/pink/peach toned pigments in pressed-form, housed in a protective compact.
For this segment, I’m trying out 8 different branded powder-type blushes, & seeing which ones work & are worth the price tag – helping you to decide which ones are worth your time!
I like the sigma one on you the best
