My favorite blush ever. Smells so good. The mini is quite handy. The color gives a very natural flush. Could be the weather and my skin but even with primer and setting spray, it doesn’t last all day. It did stay on longer though in Korea in the fall. I end up using a bit of cream blush of a close color under just to help it stick.
20 days agoI love the color payoff of this blush on my mestiza complexion. It's definitely a love at first sight when I saw the peachy glow effect on the mirror. I'm so happy because even though it's quite pricy, I'm definitely happy with its performance. It looks natural on my face. HOWEVER, I'd like to warn the morena ladies that this might not work for you. It is quite pale so it might not appear easily on the morena complexion. It reminded of the blush in my Pixi Book of Beauty palette. It's a subtle shade but it worked for me because of my complexion. It didn't appeal on morenas' reviews though. I feel like this Benefit Gold Rush is an upgraded version of the blush in my Pixi Book of Beauty palette.
about 2 months agoI'm so happy with this purchase and I'm glad that I just got the mini instead of the original size. I tried it as soon as I got it and I love the subtle pink it gives my cheeks. I also like the gold shimmers - but based on video reviews it's only found on the top layer. This is perfect for everyday use and for achieving the "drunk blush" effect.
3 months agoI've got the version of this that comes with Benefit's Blush Bar set. Like all Benefit powders, it's A+ quality: smells lovely, feels great on your face, mixes well with pretty much all products, doesn't cake, doesn't settle into fine lines. With regard to the way it looked on my face: it was honestly gorgeous. The only reason why it's second place in my book is because I prefer Rockateur over it given that Rockateur is better for every day use. Gold Rush's shine is suited a little more for glam looks, events, or parties out with friends rather than standard office wear - but, again, that could depend on what you're going for, or for the sort of place you work at. If you want something that'll help you shine bright and glow beautiful, try this one.
