Clinique Gel Blush

Pros: Sheer, lasting, natural-looking color, quick and easy to apply, compact packaging
Cons: Can stain fingertips if not washed off immediately, only 4 shades to choose from

I have been a powder blush wearer for years, with the exception of a very short time in the 80's when I experimented with a gel blush (Bonne Bell? Ten-O-Six? One of the teen brands at the time!). The gel blush was a very bright red color,...

Pros: Looks incredibly natural when applied in moderation; lasts longer than true love (aww...)
Cons: If you put too much on, you look oven-baked; stains fingers

It's almost too tiny of a tube to write on, and yet Clinique's Gel Blush contains this pledge on the back of its light green 'squeeze me!' self:

See-through colour for cheeks. Fade-proof. As those of you who've read my other...

Pros: long-lasting colour, natural blush, easy to apply
Cons: stains fingers

I have always been hesitant about using blush, there are so many hazards: the clown effect, inappropriate placement, appropriate colour, apples or temples? And in the last five years a new pot-hole has opened up in the already bumpy makeup road - cream...

Pros: ~Wooo Hooo, It's EASY~
Cons: ~Stains fingertips, unless you know the secret~

When do you think you've found the perfect blush? When it lasts all day? When it goes on easily? When it looks natural?

Well, this blusher is all of those and more. If you have read my other reviews, skip down to the next paragraph. If not,...

Pros: Choices of colors, not to streaky or fast-drying, and lasts!
Cons: Very subtle, requires layering, doesn't last as long as others

My experience with blush
Several years ago, when the blushing schoolgirl look of pink apples of your cheeks became the rage, I knew I was in love. I've struggled with blush application for ages. I hate the fake, striped look of applying it to...

Pros: great color, creates a natural glow for all skintypes, in-expensive
Cons: stains your fingers when you blend it in!

Don't I feel silly....I thought I had found the ultimate stain in BeneFit's Benetint, but believe it or not, I like this better. This is somewhat of a new venture for Clinique, they usually steer clear of trendy and go for classic. But on this...

Pros: Very sheer and natural-looking, can also use on lips, quick and easy application, long-lasting.
Cons: None- Absolutely love it!

I first stumbled upon Clinique Gel Blush looking for a lip and cheek product that would stay the day and wouldn't make my cheeks look as if i had colored them in using my mother's red lipstick. I scanned several websites (being the lazy person that I am) ...

Pros: beautiful colors, can be both dramatic or soft, smooth finish, doesn't fade
Cons: can stain skin, needs to be applied quickly

I bought Clinique's Gel Blush after perusing the cosmetics counters at a couple of department stores looking for something other than the generic powder blush. You see, my skin can sometimes be incredible dry, and powder blush tends to cake or flake on...

Pros: Great natural looking color
Cons: Stains fingertips quickly!

On a recent trip to the Clinique counter, the saleslady convinced me to try Clinique's new gel blush. I was a little reluctant, since I tend to stick to my $3 Jane's brand blush, but decided it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

The first thing...

Pros: Works very well, lasts all day and small enough for your purse!
Cons: May stain clothing/fingers if caution is not taken while applying.

This is not the first gel blush I have tried but it is the only one I buy now! The applicator is a very small tipped tube which I just use directly to apply a dot to each cheek. Rub it in and you're done. You must use caution though because this ...

Pros: Natural looking, stays on!
Cons: dries fast, must blend quickly

This is absolutely the best blush I've ever used. I used to use Bobbi Brown blush, but like all powders I've ever used it disappears after a couple of hours. This stuff lasts and lasts. The Clinique gel blush comes in a small, handy tube. You...

Pros: Black Honey is very natural looking.  Only a small amount of product is necessary.
Cons: Can't think of any cons. Love the product!!

It's the best blush I've ever used. I have oily skin and hate the stuff that comes as a cream which just tends to slide around on my face if there is the slightest bit of heat. On a hot day forget it. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU CAN NO LONGER BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! What on earth was Clinique thinking of? I 've even contacted their discontinued product division and received a polite email advising me it's a no go with getting anymore of the product. MAJOR BUMMER!!!!
