MISSHA: Tension Blusher LINE FRIENDS edition PK02 Review

Hello lovelies, I'm back with another makeup review. In this post I'll be talking about the MISSHA Tension Blusher |LINE FRIENDS| edition in PK02. I am really excited about writing a review on it because this is my first product from MISSHA and the cushion blusher comes in such a cute packaging. Let's get started!

The cushion blusher in BROWN character design 

     
     The cushion blusher comes in 6 different colours and this time it comes in a repackaged edition, the third main character in LINE Friends which is BROWN the Bear. I bought this cushion blusher because I was attracted to the packaging (LOL). Besides, I've always wanted to try out a cushion blusher. Take a look at all the 6 colours and their swatches.

     I got mine in PK02 (Pink Ruffle). To be honest, the colour looks nothing like pink and it looks more orange to me. The swatch for Pink Ruffle (PK02) in the pic above can be a little misleading, because the colour looked completely different when applied on hands or cheeks. I would say that the colour resembles the OR01 (Apricot Tart) colour. Anyway, it was not a big deal for me because I was looking for an orange tone blusher. If you're looking for a decent pink blusher, I would recommend PK01 (Pink Groove). I personally liked CR02 (Rosy Dress) because of its exotic vintage-like rose colour but they were out of stock (sob sob).  

The interior packaging

     Now that you've seen the colour of the cushion blusher, you get what I meant when I say it's not pink at all right? I would have thought it was OR01 (Apricot Tart) upon looking at the cushion. 

It comes with a cushion puff and a mirror

      
     Let's take a closer look at the cushion blusher. It comes with a really cute cushion puff and is printed with the BROWN motif. It also comes with a real mirror. Just put it in your handbag and you're ready to apply your blusher anywhere you go without looking for a mirror. 

A closer look at the cushion puff

     
     The texture of the cushion puff is really soft and smooth and it's white in colour. If you dab on the whole cushion puff surface onto the mesh of the blusher, it would pick up too much product and your makeup would end up looking not natural. I would suggest you follow PONY's (makeup artist) tip of applying it  by dabbing just the tip of the cushion puff and fold it into half as you apply it on your cheeks. In this way, you have better control on the amount of blusher that you're applying. 

A closer look the the mesh surface of the cushion blusher

        In the first few applications, the texture of the cushion blusher is quite watery and you would have to apply a few times before you could see the colour show up on your cheeks. However, it would still look very natural because it's not very pigmented. In my opinion, it's not very long lasting and the colour would starts to fade after an hour or two and I usually had to reapply it.

Swatches without flashlight

       Without flashlight, the Missha Tension cushion blusher appears like a faint orange colour as compared to Innisfree Cream Blusher (01) which has a pinkish coral colour. I swatched them side by side on my arm so that you can see the difference in colour better. I still do not get why its called Pink Ruffle when it's not even pink or coral in colour. 

Swatches with flashlight

      Under the flashlight, the orange colour of the cushion blusher looks even more obvious.  As I've mentioned, the product is not very pigmented. Anyway, because of its watery texture, you could blend them easily on your cheeks leaving you with naturally flushed cheeks. It's not drying at all and does not cause your makeup to crack or look cakey. It has a glowy and dewy finish and it's also the reason why I still like this cushion blusher despite being not very long lasting. 

       I bought this at SASA for RM50.00. You can easily buy them online on websites like SHOPEE or LAZADA. If you're looking for a cushion blusher that gives you a natural and dewy look (with a super cute packaging), then this is the RIGHT blusher for you. I'll see you again in my next makeup review okay!
