Finally broke down & bought this entire set, along with Kett's color theory set. Can't say I'm sorry that I did in either case :-) Using the right brush (I personally prefer a semi-dense, fluffy, synthetic blush brush of medium size to blend this product out perfectly, rather than a stippling brush as I've heard so many people recommend >), these blend beautifully into the skin, never looking unnatural or harsh, or just plain odd. They take on the look of naturally flushed, gorgeous skin with very minimal effort. Of course you can also use an airbrush, but it's not a must by any means. The 6 shades in this set alone provide a boatload of possibilities through custom mixing your own blush shades, but add the color theory set into the mix & you've truly got endless possibilities for beautiful blush/bronzer/highlighter shades all year long, on any skin tone & for any occasion. A drop or two of one/a combination of these blush shades or color theory shades also allows you to change your foundation tone/color through all the seasons. I've found they work with many other products as well, allowing custom mixing galore. Just play around with them & you'll discover many possibilities :-) Very glad I spent the money I did on these, although the sale on Kett is what finally pushed me over the edge :-)
Phenomenal product, gorgeous shades, endless possibilities
