It's time to explore some more products from Sleek MakeUP, and this time it's all about their gorgeous blushes!
Let’s start with packaging! All Sleek blushes come in a matte black mirrored case which is very similar to Nars packaging. The case looks very classy and sturdy however it catches dust very easily. Apart from that, the only problem I have with the packaging is that it is shut very tightly so it’s slightly hard to open especially when you’re in a hurry.
Now onto the blushes! First I have Pixie Pink which is a bright matte Barbie pink with cool undertones.
Although it looks super bright in the pan, it doesn’t come off as bright when
applied therefore it gives a fresh and natural flush to cheeks. The texture of
the blush is very soft which makes it very easy to blend. It’s the perfect
everyday colour – especially for that Spring glow!
Flushed is a plum toned matte colour with red undertones which makes it
perfect for darker skin tones. You’re probably already thinking that the colour
looks scary but if you apply it with a light hand, it can look very
natural as if you’re a bit flushed (as the name states). Then if you like a
bolder look, its smooth consistency makes it very buildable so you have control
over how much colour you want. This one is a favourite of mine since it’s a
very unique colour.
Suede is a light terracotta shade with peach undertones. It’s
basically an everyday shade because it looks very natural and just gives a warmer look to your complexion.
Like the previously mentioned blushes, Suede has a silky smooth texture which
makes it super blendable and it also has a slightly satin finish despite it
being almost matte. Definitely a must have!
Pomegranate
is a rich berry shade with microscopic specks of
golden shimmer. This is the perfect fall/winter shade. It’s suitable for all skin tones especially
those with medium to dark skin tones would rock this shade. Even with the
golden specks of shimmer I mentioned earlier, when applied it does not look too
shimmery but it gives a nice radiant sheen to the skin. This blush also blends
like a dream and it does not get patchy throughout the day.
Pros of the Sleek Makeup Blush:
-Affordable
-Super pigmented so a little goes a long way
-Soft, silky and easy to blend texture
-No scent
-Longlasting
-Finely milled thus it does not accentuate pores
Cons:
-Packaging is slightly hard to open
-If not applied with a light hand, it might
come off too strong.
