Review:KIKO Colour Veil Blush #01 (EN)






Hello everyone

In my previous post about my winter everyday makeup essentials I mentioned this blush and today i'm going to tell you more about it, because on my opinion this is an awesome product.






The blush comes in a cartoon box (as most of their products) it has stable packaging that is perfect for traveling (trust me, this blush has travelled more than 1000km in my makeup bag :)). In the packaging there is no mirror or brush, which isn't a cons for me, because I never ever use the tiny blush brushes that come with some blushes. It contains 1,5 gr/0.05 OZ of product. Тexture is typical for baked products – a bit dry, finely baked, with good pigmentation that allows building. Color selection includes 6 shades and mine is № 01. The shade looks peachy in the packaging, but applied on my skin (mine has really noticeable yellow undertone) appears as cool pink-peachy with fine satin finish.





I have desperately oily skin (:D) with visible pores so I have to avoid pearly blushes and highlighters because they make my pores even bigger, but if the sheen is fine like this one the effect is light natural looking blush with healthy glow. I would call this blush blush-highlighter, because it has more sheen than the regular blush but it's way more discreet than the regular highlighter. Pigmentation is good and buildable. One thing I hate when it comes to blushes is pigmented blush – I like it light, barely visible and that's why I always tend to go for soft and lightly pigmented blushes that have satin/shimmer finish instead of highly pigmented and matte ones. Longevity is also good – it fades away a bit during the day, but it still there and visible at the end of the day when I remove my makeup – after a good 8 hours wear. This blush has vanilla scent (did I mentioned how much I hate vanilla?!) but luckily, I can feel it only when I apply it.








KIKO's blush reminds me a lot of my favourite blush by Milani – Luminoso (Luminoso is a game changer for me) and you can read more about it here:http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2016/03/reviewmilani-baked-blush-05-luminoso-en.html), especially their finishes are identical as you can tell:






Luminoso is my favourite blush but I can't wear it in the winter since during the cold months I tend to wear darker and cool toned lipsticsk that didn't suit the peachy-golden Luminoso. KIKO's blush pairs great with darker and cooler shades, gives my face a pink hint and cool freshness, without being an accent or making my makeup stronger. I use this blush on everyday bases since October and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a cool toned blush with glow.

Do you have any KIKO blushes and what are your thoughts?
