Hard Candy Honeymoon Blush Results

So you know how much i wanted to get Hard Candy's blush in Honeymoon after i tried out Living Doll! I know i heard some reviews saying that this blush was super un-pigmented.. but i really liked the color of this blush so i decided to get it anyways. Swatching it at the store seemed to prove pretty decent results... or so i thought..

read on to find out if this blush turned out good or bad!

slight purple/pink veining

doesnt it just look amazing in pan? a gorgeous baby peach color with purple/pink veining.. soo pretty! if only what we see is what we get...

swatched heavily - no flash

when swatched heavily (or even just a few finger swipes), you get this gorgeous light peach color that has a really pretty glow and a slight pink glow too. however, it seems almost too light and shimmery to be a blush.. most likely, this will be a highlighter for many people. Also.. when you blend away or start to apply this to your face...

the color disappears! :( :( oh how i wished the color was what it looked like in the pan! The light peach wouldve been amazing. But to save you from throwing this out or completely neglecting to use it.. i have to say that this adds a really pretty glow to your face! I have now decided to combine this blush (honeymoon) with my other one (living doll). Together, they make a GORGEOUS combo. I first use Living Doll to add a light baby pink on the apples of my cheeks, then, i build it up heavier near the back to sculpt my cheekbones and then finally, i add honeymoon to give a pretty glow and highlight the top of my cheeksl I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow of this overall effect and post to show you how it turns out :)

ooo congrats! you're so lucky haha the peachy color is gorgeous. i tried building it up yesterday and actually got the peachiness to show up a tad bit :) sooo excited! lol :D
I'm REALLY pale, and this blush gives me just the right amount of color and a really nice peachy glow. Its my go-to blush, its perfect for me. *But it also might help that I use a stippling brush to apply it :)

*jealousssss*! haha i can see it looking sooo pretty on you :D the color is gorgeous! i will try using a stippling technique.. and building it up more and more so it shows up more! :D thanks for the tip and sharing your info! <3
I love the honeymoon color Hard Candy blush. It's my favorite powder blush. It shows up on me as a pale shimmery apricot pink, but my skin is very pale. ( Nars Siberia is my foundation color.)
