theBalm Frat Boy Blush - Review, Photos & Swatches

Frat Boy($21) is a talc-free powder blush, also to be used an an eyeshadow from theBalm. Like all theBalm products, this one too is great value for money. Frat Boy is a matte apricot shade that has a velvety smooth texture and is super pigmented. It looks a lot rosy on me when applied though. Its easy to go overboard with this shade so, be very light handed while using it.

The packaging is one of the obvious reasons I was drawn to theBalm. The quality is equally amazing and since it is talc-free, it's safe to be used on sensitive & acne-prone skin types. Frat Boy complements a lot of looks and gives the most natural flush ever. And since it is matte, it looks flawless without enlarging pores. A very light dusting makes it a work-safe shade too.

Frat Boy is a great everyday, fuss-free shade that will look absolutely gorgeous on most skin tones, particularly on those with medium skin tones. Although it is a matte blush, it does have a very slight dewy sheen that people like me with dry skin will love. I love that it is paraben-free too!

What are your thoughts on theBalm's Frat Boy Blush?

    I own Jealous Jordana eyeshadow (my first TB purchase), and I really like it. I'm going to take a look at the other blush shades. This one looks a little too light for me. :)
