Really surprised to see so many negative comments on this product. This was a pure impulse purchase for me -- but I totally lucked out. I bought the Berry shade. This stuff is really highly...

I don't generally buy cream blush, but this one is very nice. It provides natural-looking, easily blended color. The small tube lasts a long time and doesn't take up much space. And, like Almay...

I use the blush creams as lipstick, they are gorgeous matte colours blended on the lips, last for most of the day and the tubes last at least a year each.

I have fair skin and I thought this would be a nice blush, given Almay's reputation. Well, I applied a small amount over 4 weeks ago and my checks have not stopped burning, itching since. I...

I liked the idea of this. I got the berry, and it was awful. The color looked clown-like and was seemingly unnatural. Powder is the way to go when it comes to blush. The creme is just too heavy for...

I loved the idea of the smart-shade blush. I really wanted that kiss of blush without the obviousness of a heavy shade, or the fussing of shade matching. This product blends in so well there is...

I tried this in natural. It goes on beige. In a little while, I look very very slightly blushed, but it still is beige. I just don't see it doing much.

I like this blush but if you want more than a natural look, it won't work for you. The first day I tried it, I wore it to work where I don't wear a lot of makeup. I was surprised to see the it come...

Love this blush! I'm fair-skinned and own the berry shade in this blush. Love the tube. It blends easy, doesn't dry out my skin, and stays for a long time. I think it looks really natural. At...

I originally wrote a review saying I didn't really like this, but I've totally changed my mind. It gives a very natural looking flush. No, it is not very noticible. But it blends very well and...

I blended this paste onto my cheeks... and it promptly blended in. So well, in fact, that I could BARELY see it. Except for the shimmer particles. They remained in force. Which was unfortunate...

So I don't like writing such negative reviews because different products work for different people, but this gel is just not a blush! I bought it because I like liquid blushes and I've tried other...

I'm so suprised by all the negative reviews. I have the lightest shade of this, (pink/rose) and it adds such a pretty effect on the apples of my cheeks. The first couple times I tried it, I didn't...

I got this for free when I bought the Smart Shade foundation, and was quite surprised I liked it! I have fair skin and the color was very subtle as some reviewed. It's not a heavily pigmented blush...

This is absolutely ridiculous. No color at all. Anyway, looking at the claims in the package, I can't believe I bought it in the first place - it's just too gimmicky. It's one of the worst products...

I agree with the last review. I find myself actually using this as if it were a liquid "primer"- for underneath my powder blush. It makes my powder blush last all day without any touchup! I also...
