![]() I only have one shade, but I'll definitely be picking up more. My second blusher dupe is the Milani Baked Blush (£5.72, review here). ![]() Overall, they aren't identical, but they're similar enough to be an alternative considering the price difference. Seductive Pink and Alluring Rose both applied and lasted well, Lavish Mauve was a little harder to work with (and to be honest the colour was a bit 'meh' on me) and Gorgeous Berries was really intensely pigmented. I do find that the quality varied across the range, as did the pigmentation and the level of glitter (the glitter thing is something I noticed in the Hourglass range too though). However I think the finish on the skin is pretty similar, though the texture is not as beautiful and easy to work with. Secondly the colour selection is completely different, which is a positive in some ways as I think the Max Factor range will suit a lot more skin tones. There are two big differences for me: firstly these are marbled but they aren't merged with a highlighting setting powder like the Hourglass ones, they're merged with two different similar coloured powders. The Creme Puff Blushes are considerably smaller and come in more basic black and clear packaging. At first glance they do look very similar, with the stunning marbled effect. This also lasts so well throughout the day, which I did not expect from a natural blusher, especially on my shiny face! So, do any of my budget alternatives live up to it.?įirst up are the Max Factor Creme Puff Blushes (£8.99 each, review here). A lot of people seem to be surprised by this in high-end products so I thought I'd mention it. There's also a nice big mirror in there, which is always a plus. Worth noting, however, is that the packaging is plastic. The packaging and the merged effect make this absolutely gorgeous to look at. The effect is a natural flush of colour that's just so easy to apply nicely. It's surprisingly pigmented for this type of product but of course not to the extent you have to apply it really lightly to avoid looking like a clown. ![]() I love that this produces so much radiance without a hint of glitter and also the texture is beyond incredible by far the softest, silkiest blusher I own. These blushers consist of one of the powders from Hourglass's line (for this one it's Luminous Light, which is supposed to mimic candle light), merged with a colour to give a gorgeous highlighting effect. RADIANT MAGENTA: A golden fuchsia blush combined with Radiant Light for a summer glow.I have the Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush (£28), which is a gorgeous fuchsia-toned coral shade. ![]() MOOD EXPOSURE: A soft plum blush fused with Mood Light to brighten the complexion.LUMINOUS FLUSH: A champagne rose blush fused with Luminous Light to evoke a candlelit glimmer.ETHEREAL GLOW: A cool pink blush fused with Ethereal Light for a moonlit luminosity.DIM INFUSION: A subdued coral blush fused with Dim Light to add warmth.DIFFUSED HEAT: A vibrant poppy blush combined with Diffused Light for a subtle halo effect.SUBLIME FLUSH: A soft pink blush fused with lilac for a natural finish.Delivers a natural radiant finish with buildable color and complements all Ambient® Lighting products.The hand-made powders are formulated using an advanced miscelare technique-which means “to mix” in Italian-creating the perfect balance of pigment and powder, and no two look alike.While traditional blush can tend to be flat, Ambient® Lighting Blush uses Photoluminescent Technology to exhibit depth and dimension.Ambient Lighting Blush fuses universally flattering Ambient Lighting Powders with vivid cheek colors, creating airy, lightweight hybrid blushes that provide seamless, soft-focus, multidimensional color.
