I’ve never been a huge blush girl.

I always have friends asking me if I got any new blushes in, as they seem to go through them so fast. I love getting lipsticks or eyeshadows, but I’ve never known what all the hype was about blush. Yeah, it’s a must in every makeup routine, but it’s blush. Blush is blush.

Well now I know what everything seems to be freaking out about.

In case you haven’t heard, Marc Jacobs Beauty recently introduced a new blush that keeps you flushed all day. The Marc Jacobs Beauty Air Blush Soft Glow Duo is a powder blush duo with two shades that are totally customizable. Available in five different colours, the two shades in the compact end up merging together, so it creates the most beautiful glow that applies effortlessly and like air. The texture isn’t powdery, but very soft, almost cream-like.

I received two of these to try out, 502 Lines & Last Night (described as a creamsicle/deep tangerine) and 508 Night Fever & Hot Stuff (cherry/deep plum). The blush is housed in the signature Marc Jacobs Beauty black glossy compact and retails for a staggering C$57 each.  They are expensive, but they’re a great product.

The first thing you’ll notice is definitely the pattern on the actual product, which is inspired by a Marc Jacobs dress. The two colours work together and complement each other.  Sephora says the light shade highlights and the darker one contours. A little goes a long way, so go easy on the brush for a glow that will have you blushing all day long.

The only downside I can see with this product is honestly the price. For C$57 for one blush, you can easily pick up a blush palette for less money, or about 20 drugstore blushes (okay, maybe not that many, but you get the idea). it is a great blush so, you if you feel like treating yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Have you tried any of the Marc Jacobs Beauty Air Blush Soft Glow Duo?
