Baked blushes are the best!

This is a baked brush that can actuakky serve many features. It is a nice blush and highlighter. I have even applied it to me eyelids as a base, and the effect really looks good. No problem with staying power on cheeks or eyes. Highly recommend.

wasn't impressed!

I like that the color isn't too bold, it's buildable. However, even with just a little, the sheen seems like too much for me.

Alright if you like a little sheen.

I have two of these, one is better as a highlighter (I have light/medium skintone), and Living Doll, a hot pink. The packaging is decent, there's a good amount of product and it's affordable. The pigmentation is medium-low, and is buildable. There is a bit of sheen to it too. I broke one of them carrying it in my makeup bag, so be gentle with them! The length of wear is okay, but not long-lasting....read more Overall, I'd say it's a decent product, especially if you have a hankering to try out a baked blush without shelling out a lot of money, but not one of my favorite blushes.

Love these as much as my "Milani" blushes... ;) Beautiful, natural color with a subtle shimmer...

I have two of these, one in “Living Doll” and one in “Honeymoon”. As with “Milani” blushes, I have to say that if you are someone who doesn’t like any kind of shimmer on your face (even if it’s subtle) then these are not for you… I personally love these blushes because I don’t find the shimmer very overpowering and if I’m in a rush I don’t need to use a highlighter. “Livi...read moreng Doll” is a soft blue-based pink and I use this color as a blush. I think it would be great for those with cool undertones or those who have a bit of neutral and warm undertones together. “Honeymoon” is a light peach/pink color with a tiny “vein” of very light lilac run through it and I love this color as a highlight. It gives a very natural highlight because the shimmer in all these blushes is very subtle. You definitely won’t see any sparkles or anything like that. I have to say that both of these are just a bit powdery and not as pigmented as “Milani” blushes, for example, so the more color you prefer on your cheeks, the more you’ll have to work with these. I personally prefer just a hint of color, so “Living Doll” applied with a stippling brush is just perfect for me as a blush because it almost mimics the color I would naturally blush with. And I apply “Honeymoon” with a small tapered stippling brush because it picks up just enough color, and I dab just a little on top of my cheekbones, chin and forehead and run what’s left along my nose. These last me all day; I never had to reapply my blush throughout the day… And I have to say that even if you use one of these blushes on a daily basis without switching to anything else, it will probably last you for at least 6-8 months because they are very dense. Obviously “Honeymoon” as a highlight will be good for years… ;) Would definitely recommend to a friend who is looking for a bit color on the cheeks with a subtle shimmer…

Only okay....

Not a lot of pigment and not too powdery if you're into that sort of thing. This product is buildable but don't expect too much color on your cheeks. I got this in Living Doll and it just adds a little bit of sheen to my cheeks. If you're opting for a glowy blush that's comparable in price to this, I would recommend the Bonnebell blushes instead. They give you a beautiful glow but still budget-friendly.

duo as a shadow!

I like hard candy products alot, good value for great price! I recently bought the 'honeymoon' blush when i was actually looking for a pink eyeshadow from their line which was sold out at the store. I use this as both a blush as wel las an eyeshadow, and its so pretty! pale pink/goldish, and it makes my blue eyes pop! I will try it wet on the weekends for a more dramatic pop, but so far so good.

Pretty packaging, pretty blush!

I have this blush in "honeymoon" and it's a pale baby pink. I wear it when my eyeshadow is quite dramatic and don't want to put lots of color on my cheeks. It delivers a slightly pink flush, which is very subtle and gorgeous! It does have a lot of shimmer, which some may not like, but I don't mind it. The only downside is there aren't that many colors to choose from. Hopefully that changes in the future!

Hard Candy “Living Doll” Blush Crush Baked Blush

I have fallen in love. Hard Candy’s “Living Doll” Blush Crush Baked Blush is the best blush I have ever used in my whole life. It’s super pigmented, and it gives the skin an ethereal glow. It is also the only blush that has not made the skin on my cheeks break out. I’ve heard a lot of people complain about applying it. It’s very sheer, so make sure that you use a Kabuki Brush… Ratin...read moreg: ♥♥♥♥♥ Disclaimer: I purchased this beautiful Hard Candy “Living Doll” Blush Crush Baked Blush myself.

Perfect Glow.

I have never really been a blush user, partly because I didn't feel I needed it n partly because I couldn't find one that looked good with my pale complexion. I bought this blush in Honeymoon shade. I love this blush, it gives such a healthy glow. I wear it year round, when I want an extra lil pop of color I add a darker shade of blush over the hard candy blush.

Gives definition to cheeks

I love the sheen these blushes have -not too shimmery and not at all sparkly. And at a great price. BC Makeup Artistry
