L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Satin Blush with Camellia Oil, Amber

I am not a blush wearer. Never have been. Mostly because I have pale skin and felt like I could never get the right color for some reason. It was always too pigmented and I’d end up looking like a clown. It doesn’t mean I didn’t want to wear it. I would notice it on other people and love how natural and truly flattering it looked on them. But yeah, I could never get the look I was going after…..or at least one I was comfortable with. Until now. This color is gorgeous. (Soft Mauve) The pigmentation is perfect. From a light application that gives a subtle flush to the skin that looks like that healthy glow I’ve been trying to achieve, it’s also buildable to some serious color that still looks quite natural. Which is a rare thing for me when it comes to my relationship with blush. It’s a powder that has a silky smooth texture that lasts all day. Even the light application that I prefer hung around all day whether applied over a tinted sunscreen or a foundation. Truly designed for more mature skin but the whole line is just so beautifully wearable for any age. My daughters (17 & 30….they’re the makeup wearers of the 3) are also impressed with it. I really hope they expand on this Age Perfect line. More colors, maybe a bronzer/contour, loose powders and some highlighters.

I really like this product very much. My only quarrel is that I am not particularly dark-skinned and this was the only one that I could use. This is in fact a compliment because I like the product so much that I would have liked to have more than one shade. It's very easy to apply. It can be done on bare skin - I use it over powder. It has a mild shimmer that is attractive even on my rather oily skin - I just powder it down.

AMBER: Feels a little dry to the touch but applies creamier than it feels. I took off one star just because I could go a bit darker in color. Rosewood is a sheer wash of color. It's pretty but too light if you have a tan. If this color works for you in the winter, it will not show up on you in the summer if you get a tan no matter how much you use. I knew Peony wouldn't even show up on my skin because it swatches as a barely there color and if you have a tan, the color will not show (but a little glow may). I wanted it just to add shimmer to my skin (as a highlighter). It's satin just as stated in the name. It leaves a natural glow to the skin (no glitter whatsoever). I can see why this was marketed to women around 40 and over. The color is sheer but natural looking and the glow makes this blush light diffusing. I will buy a darker color... may even buy two deeper colors. Overall, it's a nice product if you like natural looking makeup. AMBER: Adding to the review, I ordered Amber. It's has a lot more shimmer than Rosewood. It has micro-shimmer where Rosewood only has a mild glow without shimmer. The shimmer is fine in texture and size... nothing that would emphasize texture. I don't like glitter on my face and this doesn't bother me at all. Amber is deep enough to use as a bronzer but I prefer a matte bronzer. I will use a light hand to use this for blush because the color is sheer but it's quite deep. If you like a shimmery blush, you will like this. I like this formula and the micro-shimmer is little (fine) enough for skin 40 and over. The mirror is a nice size. I will buy one more color.

My favorite blush

I try new makeup on the regular. I loved the color of rosewood online and gave it a try. It’s very sheer and not even buildable to full solid color. Super dry. I have very fair skin and this does nothing. I also purchased the mauve. It has gold glitter flecks throughout the blush and has a similar effect, barely any payoff for color. If I put blush on I want to look like I took the time to do it. They fade within an hour if applying. These are a hard pass for me. Cheaper brands like Essence and even Ulta house brand perform better than this. Swatched (built up 3 times) are rosewood on top and mauved underneath. Mauved had more color payoff but the gold glitter isn’t flattering and I found it all over my face. Rated 2/10.

I really like this. I have fair skin that is pretty dry on the cheek area so I hadn’t been wearing blush at all for years. I got the mauve and I really like it. It’s a nice sheer color that gives a not quite rosy cheek, which was exactly what I wanted, subtle. It doesn’t look dry or flake off either. It’s really quite nice for aging skin (I’m 55). I’ll definitely buy again.

Me encantó desde que lo abrí. La presentación fue impecable. Funciona perfecto y cumple su propósito. Una gran elección sin dudas. Ideal para regalar también.

I see reviews on this brand blush, not showing up but it really depends on your brush. A fluffy brush wont do it, you need a dense short brush for the lighter colors. Love Loreal Age Perfect but they have discontinued their blushes which is a huge blow to us who love this line. I dont understand why companies take out products that are great sellers. These blushes are the best!!!

The shade is lighter when applied to cheeks. That's a good thing for me as I am quite pale. Goes on nicely and blends in so I don't look like a clown.

This works well for me. It is very sheer and subtle which is what I wanted. Just a delicate tint. Perfect for older fair skin women, young girls or any fairer person who is looking for just a little something to brighten up.

I have pale skin and this colour adds just enough pink to my cheeks. It goes on well and is easy to layer up.

I was so glad I could get more of this blush powder through Amazon. The age perfect products are excellent for good coverage and a natural look on aging skin. My local cosmetic counters haven’t had it for a while and don’t know if they will get it again. It’s a great product.

This product goes on very sheer, I can put on two or three coats and it’s still barely there. I’m a fairly light skinned person as well.
