THREE Cheeky Chic Blush (09 Sound So Sweet)

I've only ever used blushes in safe colors, so I decided to try 05 FEELING THE FLOW. The color and payoff are very easy to use. The payoff is so good that all you need to do is apply a streak with a brush and blend it in. The color is more pronounced in the afternoon and evening than it is right after you apply it in the morning. So, just a little bit in the morning is enough.

I bought No. 18 as a gift for my mother and I'm so happy that she loves it! Great color and lasts a long time.

[19 COLOR POWER] A few years ago, a beauty advisor recommended a color to me that was so purple I was shocked, but when I applied it to my cheeks, it turned a translucent pink, not purple... I was surprised at how bright my skin instantly became when I applied it lightly! It was a color I would never have chosen myself, so I'm so grateful to the beauty advisor! I didn't use blush very often, but after purchasing this, I started to love it. It's so pigmented, so I put a tiny amount on a blush brush and wipe it off on the back of my hand before applying. I've been using it for the past few years, but it seems to have been discontinued... I'm sad, but I bought a spare a while ago, so it should last me another two years. It's not running out at all, so it's really good value for money. [05 FEELING THE FLOW] No. 19 has become my favorite, and I've been interested in this one since it became popular as an azuki bean blush, so I also bought it. I really like it, but I always reach for No. 19, so I don't use it very often. This one also has such good pigmentation that it tends to become too dark, so I try to apply it lightly. *Good Points* Both No. 19 and No. 05 are cute colors recommended for cool-toned skin. Applying it softly gives your skin a translucent look. Compact, easy to carry around. Long-lasting color. Matte, beautiful finish. Great value for money. *Concerns* It takes some skill to apply it softly at first - you need a good brush and some practice. The top of the swatch image is No. 05. The bottom one is 19. I'm sad that it's been discontinued, but I'll try to find another blush that suits me before I run out...

05 FEELING THE FLOW My personal color is warm autumn, so bluish blushes don't suit me at all, but I really wanted this one and bought it. It's a deep, rich grape color, just as it looks, and it's very pigmented, but it's surprisingly not out of place and even gives off a healthy glow. I used a large brush and dusted some powder on the back of my hand before applying it, and it applied softly and naturally. That said, it does give the impression of a full face of makeup, so I'd use it when I want to dress up a bit when I'm out and about. But if you apply it lightly, I think it's fine for everyday wear or the office, so I definitely recommend it to anyone who's on the fence about buying it! It's such a lovely color... The color lasted well, and although it was my first THREE blush purchase, I was very pleased.

The color payoff is excellent, and even a small amount will give you a solid color. It's a coral-based color that's easy to use. I think blush is an item that's hard to use up, but this color was easy to use and I found it very useful, so I used it all up! (It took me a few years, though!) Even towards the end, the powder didn't crumble in the case. I think it's incredibly good value for money.
