Illamasqua Powder Blusher 'Hussy' Review and Swatch

UK based label Illamasqua is one of the most preferred luxe beauty labels by makeup lovers and professionals all over. They are known for their stunning collections of beauty products especially the powder blushes, which remain the cult favourite of most. I picked up the Illamasqua powder blush in the shade 'Hussy', which is described as a bright candy pink. The matt finish blush is vivid and looks gorgeous both in the pan and on the face. The texture is soft and blends well, with smoothness. The intense shade can be used to add a touch of colour to the apple of the cheeks or can be built-up to achieve drama.

A quality of the Illamasqua blushes is that they offer an illuminating and radiant effect although they don't have any shimmer. With the glow the blush provides, the face can be sculpted and the cheek bones enhanced to prominence. Remember to tap off the excess product from your brush and apply with an easy hand, as these blushes are crazy pigmented. You can also mix Hussy with a shimmer based product to add more glitz. The blushes come with a heavy price, £18.00 or $24 in the USA, but offers a great quality, and 4.5g product that will last you long. As compared, MAC blushes are available for $21 for 6g of product, but Illamasqua blends better, and is worth having. The product is available at Illamasqua stores in the UK and online, and folks in the USA can get it from Sephora. Blended swatches of the Illamasqua Powder Blush in Hussy below:
