No7 Matte Powder Blusher Review: Honest UK Verdict
Listen I am always on the hunt for a decent blusher that does not cost the earth. The No7 Matte Powder Blusher in Damson Mist caught my eye as it sits at number one in blusher on the site so I decided to test it myself.
Over a week of slapping it on before work in typical Glasgow weather I can say it is a wee winner. At prices from 9.35 pounds it is affordable and the 5 star rating from 38 reviews is well deserved.
Texture and first impressions
The texture is smooth and not at all chalky. It picks up easily on my makeup brush and applies with a light hand so you can build it up to your liking.
First impressions were strong. The Damson Mist shade gave a soft pop of colour that looked like a natural flush rather than obvious makeup and the vitamin E in it makes it kinder to the skin.
Wear and day-to-day use
Through a full day at my desk and then a trip to the shops it held up well. Even with a bit of rain on the way home the colour stayed true without going patchy or fading.
It works brilliantly as the last step in my morning routine. Just a quick sweep and you have that healthy look that lasts until evening without needing constant touch ups.
Value and who it suits
Coming in at 9.35 pounds it offers great value especially when you compare it to the 11.95 at Boots. It is no surprise it ranks as the top blusher given how well it performs for the price.
This one suits busy women who want a simple addition to their makeup bag. If you like a natural finish that cares for your skin a bit then it is ideal for you.
4.5 / 5 Final take
I am giving this No7 Matte Powder Blusher top marks because it does exactly what it promises without any fuss. It has become a staple in my kit for that everyday glow.
Head over to No7 Matte Powder Blusher 3g to pick up your own. You will not regret it if you are after something reliable and affordable.
