Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Blissful

I've been wanting to review this blush for quite sometime now. I just wanted to take some time to test the staying power of these 12 hour blushes as claimed my Tarte and I must say, they've quickly become one of my favourite blushes. The color range is a beautiful mix of matte and shimmery shades. Since Tarte is a natural line, these blushes are formulated without any Parabens, Sulphates or Synthetic Fragrances. Read more on the range and formula here.

Tarte claims that these long-wearing, solar-baked blushes last upto 12 hours. They also claim that for oily skin types, Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. Those with dry skin will benefit from the clay's nourishing and hydrating properties, which naturally restore skin's moisture. Combination skin types can rely on its ability to zero in on skin concerns and deliver benefits to restore complexion harmony.

As far as the staying power goes, I can easily get 8 hours of wear from this even after which it does not completely fade. As with any other blush, I need to re-touch every 2-3 hours unless layered on top of a cream base. I have dry skin, but from what I see, even oily skinned gals can get pretty good wear time from this formula. 'Blissful' is a warm, pinky peach with a matte finish. If you love bright shades, this is something you must try. I use a stippling blush to apply this since it is hella pigmented. I've tried applying it with a normal blush brush only to end up looking like a clown after which I needed to buff the excess out. A stippling brush does a far better job giving it that naturally flushed look! Unlike other blushes, I don't even need to set it with a dusting of translucent powder to make it last longer.Texture wise, they are buttery smooth and the best part is, there is no crazy fallout!

At $25 they are not exactly cheap but the quality makes it totally worth the price! Tarte did a great job with the color co-ordinated packaging too. The color inside the pan matches with the actual color of the blush which is super cute! I don't have anything bad to say about this blush. I just adore this blush and totally recommend it!
