Blush Look: That Orange Canmake Blush

By icyabstract · September 21, 2011 · 5 Comments ·

Hello!

Some quick look shots I snapped in the morning before heading off to work. Afterall I did promise to post up a look shot of the Canmake PW16 blush -- basically the orange one.

To jog your memory it's featured on the left in the picture below.

I used it light handedly enough to have it show up as a mild flush in-person though I'm a bit bummed it doesn't translate stronger in pictures. I'm afraid you can't see the blush much so I'll attach 3 pictures and hope at least one of them gives the blush the justice it deserves.

It does not show up strongly since this is a mild color by nature. You can build the intensity up but I opted for a natural look since I was just going to work.

I like the tone of this blush because it works well with and blends in with contouring. Since it's a brighter color, it adds a nice lift to the cheeks, and has a significantly different form of 'bringing life to the face' as compared to pink/red blushes.

I'm not sure how to best describe it but I like that almost artificial yet still natural hint of color on; artificial mainly because noone blushes orange! I would say it's better off labeled as a cheek color as opposed to a blush and I like that soft vibrancy orange blushes give!

Here's a strong and blended out swatch of the Canmake blush.

Quite odd how I got this probably a year ago and am only giving it love right now. Guess makeup really is about re-discovering what you have in a different time and appreciating it again. There's still hope for the other items chucked at the back of the drawers!

This isn't a look of the day because I can't remember what I had on my eyes and didn't take a close-up eye shot. But if you're wondering about my lip color I was wearing Victoria Secret's Lipstick in Heartbeat, which I received from Sophia (retailtherapy -- thanks Sophia!)

Perfect lipstick shade for my orange blush obsession right now!

Are you in a orangey or coral blush mood these days or have always loved it?

Thanks for reading!

I like orangey and peachy shades... but I have no idea why, it always ends up making me look dirty... even if it is milky peach shades Sad

Jie Jie: Ooh I love the Cheek & Cheeks! You got the powder highlighter or the cream one?

hazelnutt: Like leaving more of a tan shade on instead of orange? But you rock plummy blushes very well!
