Victoria Beckham Beauty shoppers are 'in love' with a versatile blush that doubles as a lip tint. The Colour Wash, priced at £44 on the VB Beauty site, Space NK, and Selfridges, has earned rave reviews for its watercolour-inspired formula.
Product Details
The blush comes in three shades: vintage rose, coral, and flushed, the latter reportedly being Victoria Beckham's favourite. Its watery texture blends seamlessly into the skin, designed to look like a natural flush 'rising from within'. The stain sets for a whole day and can also be used as a lip stain.
How to Apply
To 'wear Colour Wash like Victoria', the VB Beauty website advises: 'Apply to the apples of the cheeks and add to the bridge of the nose for a sunkissed effect. Or apply just to the tops of the cheeks for a blush that does a little lifting. Also apply to the lips for sheer lasting tint.'
Customer Reviews
The VB blush has a 4.6-star rating from 910 reviews. One enthusiast said: 'I’m so in love with the Colour Wash formula! It’s so lightweight and it feels luxurious on my skin. I purchased ‘Flushed’ and it’s everything I wanted and more. It glides on like silk, melts into my skin seamlessly and gives me that perfect natural flush. It’s just so flattering and absolutely flawless, lasting all day. VBB has totally redefined blush and I am totally devoted.'
Another reviewer wrote: 'It’s the best liquid blush I’ve ever tried! It lasts all day long and you look glowy! I literally love it! Every friend of mine asks me about it when they meet me.' A third added: 'Just a couple of drops on each cheek brings a natural flush that mimics beautifully that fresh glow of sun-kissed skin. Really good. Looove.'
Criticisms
However, some users took issue with the applicator. One said: 'I loved the idea of this product, but was disappointed. The colour is lovely and if you get it right it does give a nice glow. My issue is with the application, it stains your fingers so you really do need to use a brush. I found the applicator unwieldy and tricky to use. If applied directly to your face it dispenses too much so it's hard to get it right.'
Despite this, many praised the product for mature skin. One reviewer noted: 'This is the best product I’ve seen in ages! The blusher is so natural, easy to apply and perfect for over-50s skin. I have always struggled with blusher. Powder looks too cakey and cream blusher just slides off. This is perfect. Thank you!'
