Ohhhh—Sleek MakeUP’s Blush by 3 in Flame for FIERCE Orange Cheeks

So I’ve been in love with Sleek MakeUP’s Blush by 3 in Pink Sprint since it came out but hadn’t had a chance to try out the other shades in the brand’s blush palette trio until recently. Sleek MakeUP sent it over for review consideration and I have to say it’s another one of their genius products!

In case you aren’t familiar with my love of the British high street beauty brand, check through my previous Sleek MakeUP posts. The brand is amazing in how they can provide such great quality makeup at such low prices AND they have shades that work for every skin tone. Yup—from fair to very deep, they have something for everyone.

The only catch is their based in the UK without any U.S. storefronts so you have to order it online. I’ve place a number of orders over the years and haven’t had any issues. Plus they’re back to the sliding scale of shipping charges so if you wanted to have this blush ship on its own via Royal Mail, it’s currently just $2.98 (it used to be $13.50 flat fee back in the days).

Anyway, onto the blush!

It features three gorgeous orange shades—with blush the brighter the color the better it is for darker skin, but these shades also work on lighter skin tones, too. It features a soft coral satin finish color, a bright orange-red matte (similar to NARS Exhibit A), and a burnt orange-red with shimmer. You can use the colors on their own or mix them for a custom color. I typically get about 6-7 hours of wear before these tend to fade (longer wear when it’s colder out), but since a palette is only $12.49, I don’t mind carrying it with me to touch-up if I decide to use a Sleek MakeUP shade for the day.

Blush colors like this are perfect for neutral looks because they add a gorgeous pop of color without overwhelming the look. Tangerine colors also look great in full-on color looks, too making this trio super versatile.

Bottom line: If you’re a blush girl and in need of a set of orange shades, this is worth a whirl. Even if you aren’t a blush girl and want to add to your collection, you’ll love this. And dare I say if you’re like me and own like a gazillion blushes, you’ll still appreciate this trio in your stash.

Price and where to buy: $12.49 at sleekmakeup.com. At Superdrug locations outside the U.S.
