I bought the Rimmel Stay Blushed! Liquid Cheek Tint in shade 004 Sunkissed Cherry. There was also the 'Pop of Pink' shade but after testing on my hand I thought it may be a little bit too bright for my complexion. I am aware that in the US you can pick up many more shades, however unfortunately Sunkissed Cherry and Pop of Pink are the only shades available in the UK. Still, I settled for the pretty Sunkissed Cherry - a scrumptious soft pink with rich peachy undertones.

What the tube says: "Lightweight liquid blush blends instantly & seamlessly. Apply a small amount with your fingertips for a natural flush of colour that lasts all day."
When trying the liquid cheek tint for the first time I was a little surprised by the texture. Rather than the soft, creamy texture I was expecting it was thick and almost lumpy - however, when blended, the cheek tint does rub into a softer, lighter texture. The first thing I have to say about this cheek tint is less is definitely more. I put a pea-sized amount on the back of my hand and used my finger tips to blend out the tint into my cheeks, before realising that a pea-sized amount was actually way too much. Cue me looking like I'd just returned from a roasting hot holiday where I had been severely sunburnt. You only need the tiniest amount of this stuff to create a soft, natural blush on your cheeks. It did take me a few tries to get the right amount on my cheeks (sunburnt babe is apparently not a thing), but once you get used to how much works for you, the cheek tint is actually really good. As I haven't needed to use too much, the tube has lasted me ages - I've had it for around a month now and there's still plenty inside. The tint applies smoothly and easily to my cheeks, and I find it really easy to blend out with my fingers. The notion of rubbing my cheeks alone can make them rosy, so I often apply it and then wait two minutes to check that the shade is actually as dark as I'd like it on my skin.
Using your own finger tips is definitely the best option with this tint - I practiced using a brush and it left a darker, more harsh result. As for the shade, Sunkissed Cherry is really lovely. It's light and and natural looking, but still gives a peachy rosy glow. The tint also has super good staying-power and lasts on my skin for a while. If I go out for the day, however, I do sometimes have to reapply half way through as it can fade a little, but setting it with a very light powder often prolongs the wear.
In conclusion I absolutely adore this little tube of rosy-cheekness and think it's a great alternative to powder blushes. It's light, easily blended, and leaves a much more natural finish on my skin than powder blushes do, and costs just £4.49. 10/10 Rimmel!
Have you tried any liquid cheek tints?
such a pretty shade! I did try the Touch of Berry shade and it looked stunning xx

I love it! Ooh that sounds lovely. Unfortunately it wasn't available when I went to Boots. xx
Deletei have never used liquid blush before. lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely something to give a go - I find it much more natural :)
DeleteI have always wondered how good these blushes actually are and from your review they sound pretty awesome. Think I'll have to pick them up at some point, especially at the bargain price they're going for.

They are pretty awesome, you should definitely give them a go!
DeleteLove the colour of this blush looks gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI've never heard about liquid cheek tints before. I have rosacea, so I don't need my cheeks to be any more rosy than they already are, but it's a great idea to use the liquid tint x
ReplyDeleteFor those who need the liquid tint is really good. Thanks for your comment :)
DeleteThis looks great! I'm a sucker for my benefit tint but this definitely looks like it would last longer :) Rebecca | www.rebeccamariee.blogspot.com xx
ReplyDeleteAhh I've never tried the Benefit Tint but have heard lots about it! This is a cheaper alternative. xx
DeleteThat shade is so nice! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks! x
DeleteLovely shade! I know what you mean about less is always more but it definitely looks very long lasting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes less is definitely more! Especially with this cheek tint, it's easy to look sunburnt with it haha.
DeleteAmazing! This seems like a wonderful product and for such a great price! I've just reviewed a similar product on my blog, the Perricone MD No Blush Blush, and although the results are very similar, it is much more expensive! I may have to try this one out!

Leave me a comment; I'm always looking for new blogs to follow!
Ooh I'll definitely take a look - thanks for letting me go. It would be fun to compare them and see if the Rimmel one is just as good. Definitely a cheaper alternative! x
DeleteThis looks much nicer than I expected, its not as bright once blended. Think I may have to go have a nose at this!

Thanks, the colour blends really easily but you only need to use the tiniest bit! x
DeleteThat looks so amazing. I get intimidated by liquid blushes because I feel like I'd make it look splotchy.

I have to admit it did take a few tries to get used to the texture and colour of it but once you know how to blend it I find it works really well :)
DeleteI'm a big fan of powder blushes and tbh I've never heard about liquid blushes before. It sounds fantastic and I need to get myself one!!
ReplyDeleteI've only ever used powder blushes before this one too, it's a good one to use if you're a beginner! x
DeleteI'm not sure about liquid blushes, especially in those tubes. I'm sure I'd end up being too heavy handed and looking like Aunt Sally.

Hehe I did look very sunburnt the first time I tried it. But once you get the hang of it it's easy to blend out etc. :)
DeleteI love this liquid blush! I agree - a little sure goes a long way! The colours are gorgeous too and look so natural. x

Thank you x
DeleteGorgeous colour! I imagine it's the sort of product you would want to start applying lightly, but lasts ages once you do :) x
ReplyDeleteMiss Imogen Smith
Yes definitely start applying lightly - a tiny bit goes a long way. Thanks for your comment :) x

I'm pretty sure they only do 2 shades in the UK but if you look online you can get your hands on different shades! x
DeleteI have tried a few liquid and creme blushes and haven't seemed to get along with any of them! But this sounds really cool :) Great review xo
ReplyDeletehttp://justjessicalee.blogspot.com.au
It's slightly different to a creme blush - less like mousse and more like a liquid. Thank you! :) x
DeleteI must say your style is very impressive! You have a fantastic blog and all the pictures are wonderful! Loved everything!
