Sleek Blush by 3 in Flame Review!

Blush by 3 in Flame (12.49)

The texture of this blush is super soft (almost powdery) and too much pressure from the brush can kick up excess product. Each of these blushes have amazing pigmentation (hence one needs use a light hand using these or else its very easy to end up with clown cheeks.) They blend really easily with barely any effort and that's what I love about these blushes! Since they are intensely pigmented, each of these lasts a good 6+ hours on my cheeks, the more pigmented shade (Bonfire – middle) lasts the longest of about 9-10 hours on me. The intense pigmentation may make it slightly difficult for beginners to use but its easy to get the hang of how less product is required once you use it a couple of times.

Molten

Molten: Dusty peach/coral shade w/ fine gold shimmer that gives a nice sheen on the cheeks. It is the most subtle and natural shade of this trio.

Bonfire

Bonfire: Matte red shade w/ very intense pigmentation that gives a nice warm glow on the cheeks.

Furnace

Furnace: Orange/Coral shade w/ very fine gold shimmer
(fav shade of the 3!)

Flame appears pretty intimidating in the pan but once I swatched them, I realized that for me they aren't the unforgiving type at all. The blushes allow you to layer them and achieve your desired boldness. However, because the colors in this palette lean more burnt, I do think that this palette would flatter medium to dark skin tones more.
