MAKEUP REVOLUTION THE ONE BLUSH STICKS: REVIEW, PHOTOS & SWATCHES

Today's blog post is going to be all about the One Blush Sticks from Makeup Revolution. I have the complete range to show you, so let's get started! :-) 

 ♥ Makeup Revolution One Blush Sticks, (HERE).

The One Blush Sticks from Makeup Revolution are available in 8 beautiful shades, 4 bold and shimmery shades and 4 matte shades. They are designed to be used on both cheeks and lips, which is very convenient and great for travel too. You can use them with a heavy hand and rock a bold cheek/lip look, or you can sheer them out and make them look more natural with a pretty flush of color.

They feel quite soft and they are super pigmented too. They feel a bit oily on the cheeks after you first apply them, but once they have had some time to settle down, the oily feeling goes away and they feel very smooth on the cheeks! :-)

The One Blush Sticks come in a black and sleek packaging. The 4 bold and shimmery shades come in a shiny tube, while the 4 matte shades are packaged in a matte tube. I love that Makeup Revolution decided to do that with the tubes, because it makes it easier to tell which blush is shimmery and which one is matte without having to open them up.

Unfortunately the blushes don't have their names listed on the packaging, only on the box that they came in. So I decided to cut out the names on the boxes and glue them on to the bottom of the tubes, so now they have their names on them. The names aren't that difficult to remember though, so you definitely don't need to do this step, I just prefer having the names on the tube so I can easily tell what shade that I'm using! :-)

As I mentioned above, these can also be used on the lips. If you decide to try them on your lips, be sure to exfoliate and hydrate your lips first before applying them, because they can feel a bit drying. As long as you have a little bit of lip balm on your lips, you won't notice it as much. They actually look quite pretty on the lips, but I do prefer using them on the cheeks though! :-) 

These are supposed to be ''dupes'' or very similar to the The Multiple by NARS, at least that's what I've been told. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet, so I can't really tell you much about them and if they are any similar to Makeup Revolution's One Blush Sticks. If I ever do decide to pick up a shade or two from NARS, I will definitely be sure to do a comparison post and let you know my thoughts on them. Let me know if that is something that you would be interested in seeing! :-)

Overall, I'm quite happy with these blush sticks from Makeup Revolution. I really like that they decided to include both matte and shimmery shades in this range, because not everyone is into shimmery blushes and vice versa. I think stick/liquid blushes are more difficult to work with, just because they aren't as easy to remove if you do a mistake and apply too much at once. I found these to be easiest to blend out with a makeup sponge, the sponge makes them look more natural and not as intense as a brush would. 

It's definitely easy to get carried away with these and end up looking like a crazy circus clown, so be sure to apply them with a light hand or onto the back of your hands first. You can always go back and add more color to your cheeks if you feel like you need it! :-)
