Purely Pro - Universal Blush

About the product

"Our soft blush powder comes in a special light texture which glides on smoothly and evenly. The sheer formula is lightweight and highly pigmented providing the perfect product to enhance the cheek bones and create contours. Purest ingredients. Long-lasting. Highly-pigmented. Professional quality. Not tested on animals. 

How to use:
To apply, swirl your brush across the surface of the blush and then tap lightly to dust off excess pigment. Lightly apply the blush from mid cheek to temple - tracing the cheekbone for a contoured look. Else smile and apply it to the apples of your cheeks for a more youthful look. If you're not a blush user and don't have a brush, don't worry -your fingers, if used gently, can create an equally magical effect. Just make sure - you blend, blend, blend till you get the right amount of pigment. "

Packaging - Purely Pro Blush

The blush comes in a small round packaging silver in color, nothing special but makes it look chic. It has a screw top and I would have loved it had the lid been attached - that ways its easier to use when on the go.

Texture and Pigmentation - Purely Pro Blush


The texture of the blush is very soft, smooth, and non-gritty. It is fragrance free. Pigmentation is light so you need at least 4 swipes of the blush to show some color on your cheeks if you have a medium complexion like mine. If you are fair it might show up in 2 swipes. Staying power of the blush on its own is decent - its lasts for around 4 hours during the still cooler weather. In summers I'm not sure if it will last too long but if you are in the air-conditioned room then it would last for 4 hours in summers too.

The shade Universal is lovely light pink with hints of shimmer. The color is beautiful to bring that natural glow to the face during the day. You can build up the color for an evening application.

Price - Purely Pro Blush

Priced at Rs 1650 I think the blush is very expensive. It is on offer on vellvette.com at Rs 1450.

This blush is great for day wear. I love the fact that it gives a very gentle pink glow to the face.
