Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Best blush ever Comment: I'm a big fan of Bare Escentuals but this blush is the best ever. I don't like tonnes of make-up and this does the job perfectly. A bit of this and your face looks fresh. Even if this is all you use, you and others will definitely notice a difference. I've had many comments, even after a very long, tiring day, it really makes you glow. It's magical really. Customer Rating: Summary: Makes your face look wonderful Comment: I just recently came across Benefit Cosmetics and was almost hypnotized by their packaging and how different the products were from classic European make-up such as Chanel which I have used for several years now.
I have very fair skin and was looking for something that would make my face look fresh and rosy.
I tried some of the benefit products at the counter in my city and thought that Dandelion really made my face shine. I looked fresh and rosy, as if I was happy as can be. (And who wouldn't look happy seeing the very cute packaging and the adorable name of this product.)
It also matched my fair skin very well as I also tried trrhhob! from benefit which was too red for my cheeks.
However I think Dandelion is only for people with fairer skin since it might not be noticable on tanned skin because the pink (of course depending on how much you apply) is light and more of a light rose color.
The product also feels great and is easy to apply with the brush it comes with. Some people might prefer a bigger brush than this one but I feel that it is big enough for my cheeks so that I can apply it to my cheekbones and dab a bit on my chin and forehead which makes the face shine very nicely and naturally as if you've blushed a little.
I definitely love this product and will probably buy more from benefit. Customer Rating: Summary: Great highlighter/blush Comment: I love this blush/highlighter! I just love the scent and the packaging. I love how it gives my face a subtle sheen. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because when I use it as a blush, I would need to almost scrape the product with my brush a number of times in order for it to show up on my face. :) Customer Rating: Summary: Great Blush Comment: Great color, love the scent, throw out the brush it comes with and use regular blush brush.
Customer Rating: Summary: Wow, I love this blusher! Comment: I really only use two blushers now. Either this one for a quick, fast, and easy pop of sheer color on my cheeks or Benetint for lasting color and strength of color. Both completely different but both wonderful.
I love this make-up line and this blush is just wonderful for my fair to fair/med skin tone. I love a very natural look and occasionally go makeup free (eeek). Even when bare-faced, I take the time to at least cover up my dark circles with Eye Bright and Yves St Laurent Touche Eclat, put on some Dandelion blush to wake up my face, and some lipstick or gloss. There is something about being able to quickly throw on a nice pale, glowy blush without worrying about over application when in a hurry.
This goes on so pretty and so pale/light that I have to sometimes use 2 or 3 coats, but that is so much better than the look of just "too much blush." Very natural and just perks my face up just right. Granted, probably not the right product for someone with a darker complexion, but for mine it's sheer perfection. Also, if you are a makeup gal looking for some "drama" from your blusher, this one probably won't work for you.
I use a good quality and big powder brush (I rarely use the brushes included with products as my brush has to be "just right") and load it up with powder, sweep it on, and it instantly brightens my face and complexion right up. Makes me look more awake.
My only negative is that I go through the product very quickly, but that is the trade off. I've spent years using blushes with just too much color potency for me, and always have had to apply so lightly, carefully, and still often over-did it. It's nice to relax and have fun with a blush without worrying about going so light with the hand for once. As I said, it's a trade-off.
Another fabulous product from a fun, innovative, and clever company. If they ever discontinue this shade, I'll revolt.
