This post about these amazing Decorte Cream Blush Moisturizing Cheek Glow blushes is long overdue. I've been loving these beauties for quite a few months now. I'm really into cream blushes lately and these ones are pretty stellar. Right now Decorte is only at Saks but it's at Selfridges for you international folks. Details per Saks:
A totally new texture, this soft-crème blush instantly blends into cheeks to create a glow-from-within translucent radiance. Featuring highly translucent pearls with coated pigment technology that prevents color from getting dark or dull throughout wear. Available in 8 shades. Paraben free. Made in Japan.
Decorte is a high end Japanese brand now branching out into the Western world. These have a fun bouncy almost whipped cream texture. They're light and airy, pigmented enough with a fairly decent lasting power. They're not an oily or greasy kind of cream blush that doesn't set. They dry down to more of a matte powdery finish. These have a hint of shimmer to them which just makes them more luminous not shimmery or glittery at all. The slight pearl keeps them fresh. These are easy to blend & work with, they aren't streaky. They layer well and you can build them up easily. I love a cream blush that sets down so it doesn't slide around my face. The rose gold metallic lid is nice as well if you like rose gold (I love it). Bottom line, I loved the bouncy airy texture, they stay put and don't slide, and they're pigmented and layerable. I love them. The shade range has a bunch of brights these two are probably the most neutral of the bunch.
Be350 is a slightly warm medium pink nude. If you like pink nudes this one is great. I like my basic boring nudes. A lot. At least I know what I like and it works best for me. I always reach for pink nudes the most and this one of the two gets the most use from me. It's such an easy natural flattering shade.
Pk850 is a more neutral medium rose pink. It's not really cool but it's not warm. It's works pretty well on me even though I tend to stay away from cooler blush shades. I do like the nude pink above the best but if you like neutral pinks go for this one.
