Revlon finally reformulated their compact powder blush for 2014 and THIS was what it should have been from the very start. The tiny brush is the same, still with hairs that seemed too soft and too smooth to pick up any product. But with the blushes before, they were just too sheer to show up (and worst of all, patchy). I applied this for the first time by the light of a cellphone in a dark car (a mirror is still included) and when I went to a bathroom was actually pleasantly surprised to find that I had applied a bit too much!
Sadly I think my favorite blush (L'oreal souffle blush in 840 Celestial) was causing me breakouts--well honestly I'm 99% sure it was--so I was on the lookout for a powder as wonderful. Oh Baby came to my skin's rescue. Revlon's cream blush in Pinched is great to carry along when you have no time, but as this comes with a mirror, a brush that works on the move, and a high-quality formula, I think I will choose to carry this as well.
Oh Baby is like a pinker version of when you go out in the cold and come indoors with red cheeks. With your preferred brush or the one included, it blends beautifully and evenly. Right now I'm loving my face with nothing but my new skincare regimin, lots of lashes, a lip balm, and this blush. You can go from barely-there to a very vibrant dolly look. This is gentle enough to sweep onto eyes as well, which I adore with a contrasting black waterline. It's definitely a warm medium pink, that I think could be pigmented enough for up to "medium" skintones, but you may want to look into the bolder pinks of the line or Milani's baked blushes for quicker application (more pigmentation = faster for you!)
I hope Revlon makes more blushes this way. I'm definitely going to look into other shades but for now Oh Baby is a must-have for light skintones. 10/10 :)
