It's excellent. It seems very natural, if you have oily skin it will be good for you since it doesn't make your skin shiny and it is so concentrated that a drop on each cheek works.
amazing blush
amazing blush, absolutely worth the hype. the only problem is that you may feel compelled to buy many different shades, as i did.
