Maybelline New York Dream Bouncy Blush Reviews

Lovely, Delicate, Stunning Colors
Application can be a bit tricky. This blush tends to fade somewhat, but I have used it long enough to enjoy touch-ups. The shades are worth the practicing in applying, from luscious "Pink Frosting" to "Rose Petal" and "Candy Coral." — 2 days, 19 hours agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Fun but difficult
First off, be aware, the lighter colors are not near as pigmented as the darker colors. They do have a strange texture and are more mushy that bouncy. The best way I have found to apply them is by gently swirling my finger around in a circle in the product. This gets it on my finger, then I can tap it into my skin. I have also used a flat top brush and stippled it into the product, the swirled it on my cheeks. Trying to swipe my finger through the product - like you can with cream blushes, just didn't work for me. I always put a powder blush over the top to set it. It does feel like a powder after you apply it to your cheeks, but the staying power isn't really there for these blushes. The consistency is like a really finely milled powder mixed with play dough (not greasy like play dough though. It does not bounce back when you press your finger in it, so I am not sure why they call it bouncy blush. They should have called it smooshy blush as that seems more appropriate. It us a fun product to have in your collection if things like this cheer you up. Once you learn the best way for you to use it, it is easy and fairly quick to apply. Overall, I am not sure if I would re-purchase, but I do recommend it for the fun factor and just to try out the uniqueness of it. — 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

Nice but a bit streaky
This has a nice feel and goes on decent but can streak and doesn't last all that long. Colors are good. — 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Great Concept, Poor Delivery
When I heard about these blushes, I could not wait to get my hands on them. I love unusual, gimmicky products to spice up my daily makeup routine, and the texture of these sounded like so much fun. However, I was pretty disappointed upon testing out the colors I purchased. Initially, I tried to apply with my fingers, since I thought the consistency of the product would make using a brush messy and difficult. This was an all-around terrible technique. I could never blend the dark colors correctly and always ended up looking either very patchy or like a complete clown. And the light colors barely showed up at all. Even on days when I managed to get my cheeks looking fairly decent with these products, they had soaked into my skin by midday, leaving me looking washed out. This is the first blush that has every disappeared on me like that. After a lot of failed attempts at decent finger application, I decided I might as well at least try applying with a brush. And I was pleasantly surprised. I found that dabbing my brush into a darker color, and then (very patiently) blending that into my cheeks, I actually got natural, decent color! However, it takes a lot of blending and just the right amount of product. Overall, I think this product is worth buying just to enjoy a fun gimmick. I am not sure if I’ll even keep my two lighter shades since they still haven’t done much for me, but I am definitely keeping my darker shades just so I can have a bit of fun from time to time. The texture, although completely difficult, is truly unique and amusing enough. However, application was more of a nightmare than a “dream” until I discovered the brush technique. So if any of you have already purchased the product and haven’t used a brush, I encourage you to at least give it a try. — 2 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Not really 'bouncy'... Buy still great.
I love the texture of this product. It goes on smooth and lasts a good while. The shades are super pretty too! I always set it with a powder blush to help it last because without, it doesn't really make it through the day. — 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Neat, but pigment doesn't last long
This looked so different in the store that I thought I'd try it while it was on sale. I have light skin so dark blushes really stand out and can sometimes make me look clownish because I get too much pigment on the first swipe. What I like about this is that the pigment is lighter, so I can build the color on my cheeks. I didn't notice any streaking and the color blended really well. The only problem is that the pigment doesn't really last that long. — 1 month, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Great!!
I bought the color pink plum and it's gorgeous!! I have really light skin so it's like the perfect rosary color for me. I heard people say that it was hard to apply but I didn't have that problem, I just took the container and lightly blotted it on my cheeks the blended it a little with my fingers — 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Didn't like it
The colours are cute but there is almost no colour payoff. Hard to apply and not worth the effort. Fun to play with though! — 5 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Fun, innovative concept, but epic fail
This stuff has an interesting texture which made it a novelty to me that I just had to try, but I'm not impressed with the blush itself. It tends to be difficult to blend and once it's fully blended, its so sheer that you may as well not be wearing any blush. — 5 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful
