Kylie Cosmetics Pressed Powder Blushers

Watching the dramas and adventures of the Kardashian / Jenner clan has always been a huge guilty pleasure of mine. 

If anyone knows about makeup, it’s Kylie Jenner! First came the lip kits, which sold out over and over. So, it was no surprise when she announced she was launching Kylie Cosmetics. 

I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on two of her blushers, which launched earlier this year and, have been trialing them for the last few weeks so thought I’d share my views. 

The Kylie Cosmetics pressed powder blushers have a creamy / velvet feel to them, even though they’re powder. They’re matte, so if you like blushes with a touch of shimmer, you may want to add a little highlighter on top. 

They’re not intensely pigmented in one swipe, which is perfect for those out there that prefer the less intense blushes. The application is is really smooth and they blend really well. One thing I love is that I have more control over these blushes and can build them up to how I like, meaning I will get more wear out of them. The quality and staying power is good, and they don’t settle into any fine lines or exaggerate pores.

If you like blushes with a shimmer – these are matte. So you may want to use a highlighter on top.

First thoughts on packaging, was that it looked a little...cheap. But, actually it works! The blushes come in a matte outer box - similar to the shade of the blusher inside. It’s made of thick cardboard, and has a magnetic closure with a mirror inside, which is perfect for travelling with. 

There are currently 5 shades of the Kylie Cosmetics blushers. The names are slightly inappropriate, but then sexually charged product names are nothing new in beauty; 

Hopeless romantic – Matte orange red

Hot and bothered – Bright pinky coral

X Rated – subdued tangerine

Virginity – vibrant warm pink

Bareley legal – soft baby pink. 

The Kylie Cosmetics blushers are sold exclusively on the Kylie Cosmetics website for $20 per blush. International shipping is available (hoorah!) and is around $14.95, so it can get a little pricey.
