The blush is very lightly pigmented but it’s easily buildable. My Experience:I think it’s a beautiful natural looking shade of pink which can be worn on a daily basis as well as on special occasions depending on how you use it. I have used it in 3 ways so far and I am absolutely loving it :) the only thing to keep in mind is to blend it really-really well so that the sparkles settle down naturally on the skin and the shade looks natural. Below are the 3 ways in which I have tested this blush and it has passed with flying colors :)  1. As a Blush – I have a medium wheatish complexion; so I need to build the color for it show on my skin…it takes around 2-3 coats and a lot of blending  to get a beautiful natural finish. It stays on the skin for 4 hours without a primer and around 7-8 hours with the primer. 2. As a Highlighter – It works great as a highlighter too…just dab a tad bit of it over your regular blush and blend it well into the skin and you are good to go :). I experimented it on my back as well last month and it turned out great…I had to attend a wedding and I was wearing a suit with low back neck…I asked my friend to dab it on my back with the puff and it looked great like that adding a beautiful sultry shine :) 3. As a face powder – It kind of works as a face powder as well just like the face pearls adding a healthy flawless glow to the whole face and neck.(Its really tough to capture the shade)Review: CoverGirl TRUblend Minerals Blush SHIMMERING SANDS (430)Likes:1. Enriched with natural minerals.2. Comes with a shaker top jar and a fur puff for easy application.3. Adds a beautiful natural glow on the face.4. Stays for a long time with a primer5. Doesn’t irritate the skin.6. Worth the price.Dislikes:1. Needs to be blended well otherwise it can look cakey on dry skin.2. Contains parabens.It’s a lovely blush that can be used on a daily basis for a quick 5min makeup and for special occasions as well. It gives you a breathable finish which looks absolutely natural on the skin :) Well If you are wondering where you can get it in India…..Fret not Bhaap.com is going to launch CoverGirl cosmetics on their website at unbelievable discounts :))
