I’m surprised that the Marc Jacobs Air Blush<\/strong> doesn’t get more air-time. Aside from the quick flash in the pan when they were launched about 2 years back, they are surprisingly absent from most people’s Instagram shots. I thought they were Instagram-worthy, don’t you?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was very fortunate to have been sent the blushes in a PR package, although to this day, I don’t know who sent them, and who I should thank. It niggles at me! I’ve shared them now and again online, but really, they deserve a feature on the blog, because these are one of my favourite blushes.<\/p>\n When you realise that I own a LARGE DRAWER filled with blushes, you’ll know that’s saying something! LOL! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These Marc Jacobs Air Blush blushes are two toned blushes which serve a dual function of colour and light. The lighter shades tend to have a little shimmer to the formula, to add a touch of glow. You can see that the stripes are of varying sizes, which allow you to customize the colour and glow-factor to your preference.<\/p>\n If you prefer a lighter touch of colour, and more glow, use the left side of the blush. If you prefer more colour then use the right side of the blush. It is very versatile. Don’t even bother trying to pick up individual colours, because the stripes are really too narrow for that.<\/p>\n The reason I like these blushes is not so much because they are aesthetically pleasing, but because they quite literally kiss your skin with colour. A blush of colour as light as air. The powders are easy to pick up with a brush, and transfer and blend easily into the skin, leaving it looking almost air-brushed.<\/p>\n They are pretty much fool proof!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are 5 shades, which I think are very wearable. These are the swatches and I’ll run them down for you here. The names are cute, but I think it’s easier to remember the numbers:<\/p>\n Despite how they look in the pan, when swatched, it isn’t terribly strong, and therefore, quite fool-proof. But what I like most about these is the way the powders blend, so you do end up with a very lovely glowy colour that blends so easily into skin. The colours aren’t too experimental, and will suit most skin tones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I also like the slim, compact packaging. The oval case is solid with good heft, and feels almost like a smooth, round pebble in your hand. It is a joy to hold.<\/p>\n I owned the original Marc Jacobs blush<\/a> and never quite liked it. Something about the texture was off. This Marc Jacobs Air Blush however, is beautiful in texture and performance. The biggest downside to it is the price, which to be honest, is quite staggering. For this price, I could easily pick up a Dior or Chanel blush – blushes which are beautiful to look at and use, and with a luxury brand name and shopping experience to boot. So that for me is the biggest drawback.<\/p>\n IN A NUTSHELL<\/strong><\/p>\n The Marc Jacobs Air Blush comes in a lovely flat, compact case that is very smooth and a good size. The product itself is a two toned blush that you can tailor to suit the look you’re going for. The texture is satin with a luminous glow finish. I love how easy it is to pick up colour, and to blend into skin. It is not so pigmented that it leaves splotches of colour on skin, but not so light as to be hard to work with. This is a high performance blush that I feel deserves more love. But the high price is quite off putting.<\/p>\n PROS:<\/strong>\u00a0Compact packaging, Portable, Blends easily into skin, Colours are flattering for most skin tones<\/p>\n CONS:<\/strong>\u00a0Pricey, Small colour selection<\/p>\n WHO WILL LIKE THIS:<\/strong>\u00a0Anyone who wants an easy to use blush that blends easily into skin seamlessly<\/p>\n PRICE:<\/strong> RM205 | US$42<\/p>\n WHERE TO BUY:<\/strong> Sephora<\/a>, Marc Jacobs website<\/a>, Net-a-Porter<\/a>, Neiman Marcus<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n For completeness, here’s how the Marc Jacobs Air Blush looks when I wear it. I am actually wearing #506 (the bronzey one) as a skin warming colour along the sides of the face and under the cheek bones. On top, as blush is #504, a peach-pink tone that looks quite refreshing. That luminosity you see on the cheekbones is from the blush, a soft glow of colour. I love these \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I do like them a lot and importantly because #504 in particular, is such an easy to wear colour. I literally swipe and go, and it just blends itself nicely into my skin! Next time Sephora goes on sale, try one. I don’t think you’ll regret it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Paris B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m surprised that the Marc Jacobs Air Blush doesn’t get more air-time.
