Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Blush Color & Highlight Kit, 0.47 oz.

An entire wardrobe of blush colors in a single compact
Usually I don’t like drugstore blushes. These are different. I’m fair and neutral/cool toned and every blush shade, along with the highlighter, works for me. You need a very light touch with the darkest (plum) shade. I don’t mean swiping the blushes, just gently touch the bristles to the blush for the right amount.I don’t see why people complain about no brush being included. Brushes that are included with cosmetics are worthless. Invest in a nice set of brushes and quit complaining.My only warning is to be careful with the cheap plastic packaging; it will break before all the blush is used if you aren’t careful.

Mixed feelings, but still a good (& VERY LARGE) palette
These blushes are very, very large. I’ve included a photo next to a $5 bill for scale. Given the size, these blushes are an exceptional value. The shades range from a shimmery highlight to a deep plum. All the shades are highly pigmented. I am fair skinned but not pale & I tan very easily in the summer. I applied the darkest shade to the hollows of my cheeks and although it did add definition it was very dark (even when applied with an extremely light hand). This mixed the medium shades as a pop on the apple of my cheek and used the highlight above my cheekbone. At first I was terrified—all the shades were very noticeable and didn’t seem natural at all. I blended them out thoroughly with a dusting of powder and found myself quite pleased with the results. My only issue is that by the end of the night it seemed as if all the shades had faded somewhat (which is to be expected) but the darkest shade didn’t seem to have faded whatsoever so I was left in large part with just the deep plum shade and it was not a good or natural look. I have discovered that I need to avoid the deepest shade altogether and use only the 3 lighter shades. I do like these blushes very much but struggle a bit to think that any skin tone would be well suited for both the lightest and darkest shades in the palette. Still an exceptional value & a good palette.

Must have!
This is an absolutely wonderful little palette. I think it could work on most if not all skin tones. The blushes have a gorgeous natural satin finish and blend really easily and the highlight is a nice everyday glow that would fit a lot of skin tones because it’s more shine than color. I definitely recommend picking this up!

Decent blush. Horrible highlighter.
The blushes have decent pigment and blend out daily well. Not bad at all. The lightest shade is in pallet is trying to be a highlighter and failing. It has no pigment, won’t pick up on a brush and once on the skin disappears if you blend it.

Solid product for a reasonable price. I understand the frustration, however packaging issues or it breaking when you drop it is hardly the fault of this product as other reviews have stated so i’m leaving a review of the actual product (on behalf of my significant other mind you, I barely ever wear makeup anymore…)Colours apply and stay on well, though obviously not as well as Mac etc. Colours are nice, fairly generic and you can blend them if needed (they do blend OK). Of course, this was $14 for four colours. I bought two sets. Both arrived without issue and were new in packaging. Perhaps it was because I only order a few other small things with them however they were not damage during transit and definitely were not a used product. I won’t lie though, I have had a different product arrive from Amazon in a ‘used’ (returned) state before however and I was very annoyed at the time. But a quick live chat and the issue was resolved very quickly.So whilst I personally have had no issues with breakages etc and they seem pretty solid, some others have. So perhaps make sure to order with other small things and nothing that could crush or damage them easily if they were loose inside a much larger box. If this helps you out at all, appreciate a thumbs up.

Good
