Chanel Espiegle Joues Contrast Blush Review



Chanel Joues Contrast blush in #62 Espiegle ($42)  is a light orange peach with a hint of gold sheen. I've heard so much about it that I finally went to the Chanel counter for it.

The blush is fairly sheer but build-able and leaves a nice glow. The powder is finely milled so you can layer it up without it appearing cake-y or powdery. This is my first Joues Contrast blush and I was immediately impressed by the texture. The shade however, while lovely, shows up a little too warm on my cooler skin tone. I'm a peach blush lover and was sad that it didn't work out as well I had hoped.

I still think this is a nice blush, just not a must have, the shade isn't incredibly unique. It's the texture that's outstanding.

XOXO, M

  8. In the picture, I think that it really brings out your cheekbones. I'm not too good with warm tones either. The color of this blush kind of reminds me of NARS Orgasm.
