When it comes to blush it isn't something I usually gravitate toward, more often than not skipping over this part during makeup application. More recently though there has been something pulling me toward a little flush of colour on the face, so when picking up some Revolution products I decided to swatch a few of the blush palettes and picked up my favourite of the bunch - Golden Sugar.
I don't know what I expected, I'd seen people all over Instagram using the brand and loving it, but when I looked at the super affordable price tag I wasn't expecting a lot. Admittedly when swatching I did find inconsistency not only between palettes but with product inside each. Little did I know when actually trying the powders out after purchasing I would get the shock of a lifetime.
As the name "Golden Sugar" suggests the blush palette I picked up is full of warm toned highlighters, blush & a bronzer. Not only sticking to browns and gold though, there are pinks easily incorporated right in there too, this is a super accessible palette for anyone with an olive skin tone.
I have found the blush & highlights are best applied with any of soft bristle brush and although few of the powders have a small amount of full out in the pan but when applied to the skin, apply nicely, almost melting, leaving no harsh lines but still giving a blinding, luminescent finish. Both the blush and highlighters are buildable and easily blended out which is amazing for any blush newbie like myself. They last all day but be warned when applying the highlighters, they absolutely do pack a punch.
I find the bronzer to give a much softer effect but again is buildable. This shade does not come off muddy which is great for us light skinned gals (and guys) but I feel as though this is the one powder in this palette that may prove useless for any darker skinned users. Unfortunately the one personal complaint I do have is that the bronzer does fade very quickly even when primed and using a finishing spray - I'm not sure I'm game enough to try applying more at the start and letting it settle, I couldn't bare leave the house looking like that type of a mess.
Overall, although I do have some complaints and uncertainties, I am highly impressed with the quality of Revolution's Blush Palettes. They are absolutely perfect for anyone just starting out with makeup and don't want to spend a lot on quality products or those who don't have the money to spend on the well known brand names. These palettes will not break your bank and will leave you going back for more. I know myself I'll be picking up some of the other options to try out soon enough, along with a bunch of other Revolution products!
