Recently, Estee Lauder came out with the New Pure Color Cello Shots, a playful collection that includes New Pure Color Cheek Rush to flush cheeks with a sheer stain, as well as New Limited Edition Pure Color Sheer Rush Lipshine and Limited Edition Pure Color Sheer Rush Gloss which wash lips in a pop of crystalline color.

Today, I’m reviewing Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush. When it comes to blush, I’m a big fan of that natural looking flush. Let’s see if this blush will give me that instant cheek rush. 😀 Read on.

I love Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush because…

  • it has such a pretty packaging! The color of the container depends on the shade of the blush. It also has a classy golden cap and collar.

  • it’s in a pump packaging. It’s more sanitized compared to pots.
  • it gives a natural looking flush.
  • it’s lightweight. It doesn’t feel sticky.
  • it feels cool when applied- very refreshing.
  • didn’t cause me breakouts or any allergic reactions.
  • it’s blendable.
  • it’s buildable.
  • it’s water-based and oil-free – good news for those with oily skin!
  • it leaves skin hydrated.

I wish Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush…

  • doesn’t dry fast. It has a tendency to leave spots or stain if not blended quickly.
  • is more pigmented. It’s sheer, but it’s buildable. The good side, there’s a slim chance you’ll over apply.
  • is long lasting. As with any gel or cream blush, it doesn’t last the whole day. See tips below on how to make it last longer.
  • is cheaper. It’s priced at PHP 2,000 (about USD 46).

Tips on Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush

  • For those with dry skin, moisturize skin well first.
  • Apply with clean fingers or a foundation brush.
  • If you’re using a foundation brush, you can place a small amount of gel blush on the brush.
  • If you’re using your fingers, gently pat in circular motion.
  • Start from the apple of the cheek blending outwards.
  • Apply before powder foundation or loose powder.
  • To keep it long lasting and for those with oily skin, apply powder blush on top.
  • If you applied too much, top with powder foundation.
  • Don’t forget it’s better to start with small amount and just add more when needed.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush Verdict

I like the fresh and natural flush of Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush. I find it easy to blend, but there’s a need to be quick to avoid blotchy application. The pigment may be a downside to some as it has really sheer finish (but that’s the main reason why it’s called cellophane-sheer gel color). I like that it’s lightweight and it leaves my skin dewy and healthy. It doesn’t look greasy even after hours.

I recommend Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush to those who want a natural flush on their cheeks. It’s also great for first time users of gel blush since it’s very sheer. You can easily build the color if you want a brighter shade.
