There’s something about a rosy cheek that I love – it always seems to pull together a beauty look, even the most casual. I’ve never really thought of exploring the option of wearing any blush hues other than a pink or red, until I found the LORAC Color Source Buildable Blush in Ultraviolet ($22). Even in the compact, the pigment was so captivating I had to see how it looked on.

Once I applied the blush it instantly blended in with my skin tone. I have to admit I was just a little worried that it may be too overpowering, but it gave me a really nice natural boost of color. I’ve worn it to work the past two days and really enjoy its satin finish, which looks great in the sunlight.
I highly recommend trying it – or any of the other bold blush colors from LORAC, they don’t disappoint. Each is infused with anti-aging antioxidants like Pomegranate, Acai and Vitamins A, C + E. Here’s a peek at some of the other shades!
