Street Wear Stay On Blush - Blush Wine - Review and Swatches

I was looking out for a peach blush with good pigmentation and staying power
So during one of my trips to H&G store ..I was looking for Revlon blush but When I saw this in the pan I got this
They dint have tester piece for this particular shade..but then i went ahead and got this shade

Price : Rs.450 for 4g

Product Claims:
Stays on for 8 hours.
A long wear blush that blends with your skin tone providing true colors to your cheeks

My take :

This is a warm peachy blush with almost invisible shimmers...nothing over the top

Comes in a silver case with a big mirror and a kinda useless brush...better brush than lakme ones

My blush broke during a trip..:(

It has fallout.but a buildable colour

This gives a mild peachy glow..so pigmentation is kinda okay...not so great or bad types ...But if you go little too much...it might give you a sun tanned look...Remember its warm peach with very little pink undertones

ok coming to the important part "the staying power"
hmmm...no...8 hrs claim is not true ...at max stays for 3hrs or so...that too with a base...

So i would say its a overly priced blush for what it does...

Basic Makeup Necessities for Work/Everyday

This is a lengthy post ...
I wanted to write this post for quite sometime but then i was hesitant because i would never call myself a Makeup Geek ...

But now i know at least what are the basic things..
so here it goes

Moisturiser - indeed a good moisturiser
I would always recommend a tinted moisturiser
Suggestion :My HG tinted moisturiser is Ponds age miracle
Price Rs.212


Compact - pressed powder
Suggestion: I use either Colorbar Time plus compact or Maybelline UV whitestay
Price : both are price Rs.150





Kajal - it defines your eyes

Suggestion: Lakme Black Satin kajal or Lotus Herbal Kajal
Price : both are Rs.150 i guess




Eye liner
You can either choose Liquid liner or a gel liner
Suggestion : Iam using Lakme insta eyeliner price Rs: less than 50
and Maybelline Gel liner for Rs.325





Mascara -
I would say this is optional but then if you wear it the rightway..it will open up your eyes

Suggestion : Maybelline colossal volume mascaraPrice Rs.275 i guess not sure :p



Blush - This is optional
You can use blush to office...yes u heard it right
Take the right amount to get the subtle glow

Suggestion : Colorbar Blushes Rs.250Just earth and peachy rose


Lipstick or a Tinted lipbalm

Suggestion: Nivea Tinted lipbalms Rs.125 or Maybelline Lippies in Neutral shades like my mahagony




Hope this helps...
Please let me know what you use for your everyday makeup
