Estee Lauder Pure Color Blush in Electric Pink

I recently picked up Estee Lauder Pure Color Blush in Electric Pink and have been wearing it non-stop at work and as an everyday pop of colour. One thing about Estee Lauder's products is that they are always packaged beautifully. The gold toned casing with the navy blue cardboard box are so iconic and look beautiful in any make-up bag. The Pure Color Blush's come in quite large packaging, featuring a small brush with gold hardware and a large mirror. They aren't the most travel friendly blushes, but they look gorgeous nonetheless. 

This beautiful blush has fast become one of my favourites, the colour is just beautiful and something that is very versatile. Electric Pink is a very bright candy pink shade and one of Lauder's most daring blush colours. I was so attracted to this shade as I don't have anything like it in my collection already. I tend to go for quite peachy toned blush shades, my favourites being Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Peach Whisper, MAC Powder Blush in Melba and MAC Cremeblend Blush in Something Special. It reminds me of Dior's Rosy Glow blush and gives the same brightening effect.

It was really difficult to photograph the blush in a way that captured it's true colour, in real life it looks very vibrant and bright in the pan. This blush is very pigmented and applies like a dream. I use a light hand with this blush as it is quite shocking if you use too much, which means it will last forever as you don't need a lot!

Electric Pink has a beautiful satin finish and lasts on me all day. I don't know if this blush would work on women of colour, I haven't tried it on my Mum yet! It is quite bright so it might fare well, having said that a lot of pink shades can look quite ashy. I'd love to know if you've tried this before and you have a deep complexion!

When I wear this blush it really brightens up my face and makes me look alive - I feel like it does what blush is supposed to do as it gives a lovely natural flush of colour. This blush goes nicely with bronzer as the bronzer contours and sculpts my face while this blush brings out my cheeks and gives me some colour.

A very firm favourite from me, and I will definitely be sporting this blush a lot this summer!
