I get excited about every new launch from VB Beauty and I know my readers do too! Here’s what you need to know about the brand new Victoria Beckham Beauty Colour Wash Longwear Blush Water Tints.
Victoria Beckham Beauty Colour Wash Shades & Swatches
There are three shades in this collection to choose from:
- Flushed – a sheer blush red and Victoria’s signature shade
- Coral – a sheer warm coral
- Vintage Rose – a sheer berry mauve
Here are the swatches of Coral and Vintage Rose:
How to use it
After playing around with a few different techniques, I’ve found the method that works best for me, and it’s definitely worth sharing.
Rather than applying straight to the face, I drop a bit onto the back of my hand, then use a brush to pick it up and work it into the skin. It gives you more control and stops you from over-applying. As it does stain, you might want to use a palette instead of your hand, but if you wash your hands quick enough, you should be OK.
If you buff or stipple gently, it melts right in without disturbing any base underneath. When I tried dotting it directly onto my cheeks over foundation, I found it could lift coverage slightly, so for best results, don’t apply directly from the dropper if you are wearing other makeup that you don’t want to move.
It blends out beautifully and layers easily if you want to build up more colour. The sheerness means you can really personalise the look, from a subtle flush to something a bit more “just-back-from-the-beach”.
Victoria Beckham Colour Wash Blush Tint – Before & After
The before photo is just with a very light layer of the Jane Iredale Skintuition Foundation in shade 28 (review here) and a touch of my beloved REESON Bronzing Balm in shade Bronze.
And below is Coral on the left side of the photo and Vintage Rose on the right side of the photo. I love both shades but I think that Vintage Rose sits better over my makeup without disturbing it.
Final Verdict
I really do like this launch from Victoria Bekcham Beauty. It’s everything you want from a liquid blush. It’s sheer, hydrating, buildable and really allows your natural skin to shine through. It’s makeup that doesn’t look like makeup, and it manages to deliver a healthy flush without there being any visible product on the skin.
Yes, it’s quite a splurge at £44 for 6ml, but the quality it there and if you are already a fan of Victoria Beckham Beauty you will be used to that.
If you’re looking for something low-effort, high-impact, and totally foolproof, I’d definitely recommend giving this a try.
If you prefer a more mousse-like texture with a luminous matte, blurred finish, and a bit more skin perfecting coverage, I’d be silly not to recommend my own REESON Beauty Blush! It is £25.
