Maybelline New York Dream Touch Blush No. 7 Plum: Review

I picked up the Dream Touch Blush in shade No. 7 Plum from Maybelline New York. Read on to find out my views on this blush.

What the brand claims it to be is that this is ultra-soft and ultra-blendable for easy application. With a cream blush formula, it spreads evenly over your skin and adds an attractive tinge of color to your cheeks.

Price: £6.49/ INR 375 for 7.5g Product.

This is a cream blush so it is very easy to apply. I usually just use my fingers to apply it lightly on my cheeks and blend it properly. I like the texture of this cream blush especially in winter months when I don't like to pile on a powder blush on top of the setting powder. 

The blush has very tiny shimmer particles which you can't see if you just look at the blush. However when I apply it on the cheeks, the shimmer particles show through. This is one of the problems I find with this blush. I am not a fan of shimmery blushes, I prefer the matte blushes.

Another issue is that it comes in a glass tub packaging which makes it heavy and hence difficult to carry while you are travelling. 

As a blush, I do not like this product. But the product in itself is not bad at all. Since I liked how this blush felt on my skin, I did not want to give up on this product just yet. So I thought about how else can this product be used. Now I use this for some other purposes. Firstly, I use it as a highlight and apply it on the cheekbones. The shimmer I don't like in my blush, turns out works beautifully as a highlight. Secondly, I use this as an Eye shadow base and apply it all over the lid. 

For those of you who like shimmery blushes and/or have dry skin, do try this one out. As for me, I am happy using this as a Highlight and Eye shadow base. For those purposes, this one gets a Thumbs Up from me.
