This Fall, I’m more psyched than ever. Subtle cheeks, classic lips, and eyes that could stop traffic. That’s what the NARS Fall 2015 makeup collection is all about.

Pure Color Blush Stick: Blushing Berry and Pink Crush

Estee Lauder Pure Color Blush Stick

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]If you’re a fan of product where a little goes a long way, allow me to introduce you to the Estee Lauder Pure Color Blush Stick. It is, crushingly, limited-edition. Shades available include Blushing Berry, Pink Crush, Peach Rush, and Cheeky Rose.

Blushing Berry and Pink Crush Swatches

Shown above are swatches of Blushing Berry (a neutral with a hint of berry) and Pink Crush (a vivid bubblegum pink). The formula is incredibly creamy and smooth to apply. Color is buildable, and the finish is semi-sheer. My tip for applying? Simply dab a small amount on the cheeks. Only a tiny bit of product is needed to deliver great color. The overall look is dewy and youthful.

Retail price is $32 per blush stick.

Sephora MicroSmooth Baked Blush Duo in Guava Glow

Guava Glow, Sephora Collection MicroSmooth Baked Blush Duo

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]At first glance, you would assume this Sephora Collection MicroSmooth Baked Blush Duo contained only one shade. If you look closely, you can actually see a subtle difference as the left side is a bit paler than the right.

In the compact the shade difference might appear subtle, but once applied you can really see the variation. The paler shade is actually a frosty apricot with a golden sheen. The deeper shade is a medium apricot with no golden shimmer and a satin finish. The colors can be swirled together or separately. These colors are universally flattering, and vivid enough to deliver a pop of color on even darker complexions.

Retail price is $17.

Click HERE to buy it at Sephora.com. Other color choices are Tangerine Tease, Fuchsia Flushed, Rose Emotion, Tea Rose Tickle, and Mangobeam.
