SHEGLAMColor Bloom Liquid Blush Makeup for Cheeks Matte Finish -Real Deal

This liquid blush is everything! It blends like a dream, gives the most beautiful, natural-looking flush, and lasts all day without fading. A little goes a long way, and it melts right into the skin for that soft, dewy finish. I love how buildable it is—perfect for a light everyday look or a more glam vibe. Definitely a new staple in my makeup routine!

I had never tried a cream blush before this one. I ordered the color 'Bloom'. I have a fairish complexion and one dot on each side is the perfect amount. It blends out very smoothly. The color is a warmish pink tone not too bright or garish. I use a a brush to blend it out but a sponge would probably work just as well.

Love love love!!! I get the Birthday Suit. This blush goes on very liquidy and blends out both easily and beautifully. The Birthday Suit is a very natural color, almost more brown than anything. It looks very natural on me and I have fair skin with green or blue undertones. I am not a makeup guru, I just do it daily, and this product is quick and easy. Not to mention it’s the most affordable blush I’ve used in a decade. I’ve tried other colors and they’re great, I’m just a creature of habit. I do use a semi- sheer liquid foundation (Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence Foundation) and it sits really nicely on top of it without smudging it. I set it with a powder and I generally wear my makeup for 16+ hrs; the color does not fade. I did try it as a lip tint and it looked chalky so it doesn’t really have multi purposes but perhaps it would also look nice on the eyelids.

Loved the consistency of this blush. It provided some nice, natural color that blended very well. And it can be applied either lightly or more high fashioned if that is one's desire. I REALLY liked how it dried down. It wasn't shiny or totally matte. Somewhere in between. And it touch it after the dry down it felt like nothing on your skin which I really liked.I gave it four star because the colors shown do not match the color received. Unfortunate but I had to return both colors and bought Love Cake instead. I very much liked the their color chart that categorized the colors into cool, warm and neutral. However, the color Real Deal was more orange-ish - sort of a brick color. And the Petal Talk came out white despite a LOT of shaking. Hoping Love Cake is the cool toned color I am looking for.

Love this! I was hesitant at first not knowing how well it would blend but it blends perfectly with your fingers or a makeup brush. Goes on with a sponge applicator that is built in. Creamy consistency. Great color. Adjust the amount of color you want simply by how much you apply. I will probably buy more of this when I run out. Great product.

This is the easiest, most beautiful blush and all over face flush!! It sets into the skin like silk. It can be with alone or over a base without disturbing the rest of your make up and gives a beautiful, natural glow. Everyone I gifted it to looks good in it!! I forgot I gave it to my sister and when she walked in I said, your skin looks so flushed and glowy. I cannot believe it’s so cheap. My favorite color by far is Love Cake, if you like pink tones it’s perfect. I put it on my cheeks and lips, then dab a dot on my eyelids and nose for a natural looking flush throughout my face. I also have ***** which I use minimally as a highlighter. I have Float On and ***** which are pretty if you like peach or more reddish orange tones. Absolutely one of my favorite products along with It CC Cream mixed with L’Oréal **** as my light foundation. I love the little sponge applicator too.

I have very fair, very cool toned skin. Anything with even a HINT of warmth looks even warmer on me (like like those with warm undertones who use anything even slightly cool looks even cooler toned on them). It’s hard finding good blush shades for my very cool skin. I’ll get a pink and it ends up looking peach if it has a little warmth to it (and many do, although now the cool toned baby pink has become more popular, finding a pink that works for me hasn’t been as hard as it used to be). But I found dusty pinks, mauves, purple, berry, and plum tones look best on me. With berry tones, I usually need to be careful since I’m very fair and most are deeper in color. They can also lean warm and end up looking more like a red on me than a berry. The shade “Night Drive” in the first photo looked like it was a beautiful dusty rose color. In the photo showing all the shades swatched together, it looked like a beautiful plum color. But then in the other photo where it showed the 3 new shades and had a shade description, the color looked like it was more of a reddish berry, but was described as a deep plum red. To me it’s either plum (a purple toned shade) or red, but I guess “deep plum red” means it’s a berry with a red tone. I was hoping it would end up looking more like it did in the first photo (a kind of dusty rose color) or the swatch photo (a beautiful plum color), and not be too red toned.They have both matte and shimmer finishes. 4 shades have a shimmer finish and 11 shades have a matte finish. Some shades come in both finishes - matte and shimmer - while some of the others only come in one finish (either matte or shimmer). I was happy when I saw the shade I wanted (“Night Drive”) was one of the matte shades. I don’t like my blushes to be shimmery. Shimmery usually means glittery, which I don’t like. Shimmer/glitter can accentuate texture and fine lines, plus depending on the shimmer (if it’s larger shimmer/glitter particles), then that can migrate to the rest of my face. And even if there’s no glitter, dewy/glowy finishes still can accentuate texture and fine lines. So I prefer my blushes to be matte, and I can add glow another way if I want it.In person, the shade is more like it appeared in the photo showing the 3 new shades with the description, and I’d definitely agree with the description of “deep plum red.” It definitely is a kind of plum color but with a red tone to it. On my very cool toned skin, it shows more as a red than I wanted, but it still looks nice.The component is nice! It’s a plastic, hexagonal tube that has a soft, baby pink kind of color that has a frosted gradient look to it. The top twists off to reveal a pointed sponge tip that you can easily dot onto the cheeks. When the sponge tip goes into the bottom of the tube, there’s a piece inside that I guess is kind of like a stopper to keep too much product from coming out. I was worried how that’ll work once I’ve used these a lot and they start to get low - will I still be able to get product on the sponge? Because with that stopper in there, it seems like once it gets low and the product isn’t hitting that spot, I wonder how it gets the product? But only time will tell. So far, I’ve been using this shade off and on for 5 months and it doesn’t seem like there’s any less product on the sponge tip when I take it out now than there was when I first started using it. So I’m happy about that.You get enough product on the sponge tip where you can use the tip to dot it on your cheeks. That’s how I’ve been preferring it when I apply it. I take the pointed tip, and do a couple tiny dots. Then I take my fave brush for any liquid/cream product (Elf Putty Brush) and dab the product out. I stamp the brush over the dots to spread the color out where I want it, and then keep lightly stamping to blend it to where I want it. It blends out nice and easy. I prefer doing dots on one side, blending that out, then doing the dots on the other side. I have tried it where I apply the dots to both sides and blend out one side then go to the other, and I’m still able to blend the other side easily. I also tried applying some to the back of my hand (stamping the sponge onto the back of my hand, then dabbing my brush into it to pick some product up and spreading it evenly on the brush) then going in and applying it on my cheeks. This worked well to, but I felt like I wasted a decent amount of product doing it this way. I had to keep putting more on the back of my hand to pick up more product. But this is a good way to do it if you feel like it’s too pigmented or want a slight wash of color.Unfortunately, even on my very dry skin, this does NOT look matte AT ALL. It looks REALLY dewy. Thankfully, it doesn’t have any shimmer to it. But it has a very dewy look to it. Because of that, I feel like it can sometimes pick up product underneath (like my foundation), which I HATE! I at the same time I got this, I also got 2 shades of the SheGlam Sun Sculpt Bronzers and I LOVE those. They apply nice and easy, dry down and set on their own, and have a matte finish but not too matte where it looks dry. They’re beautiful. I was expecting the formula of this blush, being a matte finish, to be similar to those. So I was pretty disappointed when it wasn’t. I have to be really careful when applying it to make sure my foundation underneath doesn’t lift up. I have to usually wait a bit after I apply my foundation before I apply this, which just isn’t always easy to do. I use a fan sometimes to speed the process up. But, it’s just not something I like having to deal with. I’ve used tons of liquid/cream blush formulas and I’ve never had issues with them lifting any of my foundations underneath when using my HG brush for them (the Elf Putty Brush). There’s just something about that brush that’s always magic with liquid blushes. But NOT with this one. I also tried using a sponge and my fingers, and still had the same thing. I’ve tried this with different foundation formulas and finishes. This seems to work best with a matte foundation, but even then, I need to be careful when applying it so foundation doesn’t lift up underneath. I tried setting my face with powder before applying this and that didn’t work at all! It just made this look patchy and uneven. So, I just need to let my foundation set completely on its own before applying this and be careful when applying it so it doesn’t lift my foundation underneath. Then, I need to put a tiny bit of powder of this so that it doesn’t look so dewy.Overall, this one wasn’t a win for me. I LOVE the Sun Sculpts (in shade Tawny Amber for bronzer and Soft Tan for contour). If the formula on this blush was like those, I’d love this too. But, unfortunately, it’s not. It’s glowy when it’s supposed to be matte and just finicky to work with. So this isn’t something I’d recommend unless you WANT a dewy blush that isn’t shimmery/glittery and don’t mind it might be finicky to work with and lift up your foundation. I give it 3 stars. It’s okay, but not great.

This is a great choice if you're looking for a thoughtful gift. The person I gave it to was really happy with the color and how pigmented it is
