Undereye concealer may be dead, but blush is still having its best summer ever. In particular, cream and liquid formulas seem to be reigning supreme. The latest launch to join that royal court is Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush, and, folks? I am pledging my loyalty to its crown.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m being honest, this wasn\u2019t a hard sell. Liquid is my preferred blush format and Hourglass remains one of my favorite luxury makeup brands. But the product far exceeded my already-high expectations.<\/p>\n

There are, in my opinion, two intertwined \u201cbest parts\u201d of this blush: the sheer formula and the unique packaging. It comes in seven shades\u2014Scene (warm pink), Whim (bright pink), Vision (rose), Moment (a peachy beige), Future (coral), Imagine (terracotta), and Craft (a deep berry)\u2014 and, as promised by the press release, this stuff is truly buildable. The first swipe of color (I\u2019m partial to Whim) goes on so sheer that it truly looks like I just stepped out into the sun for a minute and got a little flushed. By swipe two, the color is much more concentrated. There\u2019s no question that I\u2019m wearing blush, but it still blends seamlessly into the rest of my makeup.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis formula is incredible,\u201d says New York City-based makeup artist Karol Rodriguez. \u201cThe finish is similar to the texture of a blurred lip; it\u2019s soft and velvety.\u201d They were also impressed with how evenly the formula goes on, despite being \u201csuch a pigmented and liquidy blush.\u201d<\/p>\n

The packaging plays a huge role in why this blush is so easy to layer. The small glass bottle\u2014almost the shape of a diner salt shaker\u2014it comes in has a soft bottom that you press to dispense the blush a single drop at a time. Rodriguez concurs that the component makes this extra special. \u201cRare Beauty\u2019s blushes have been criticized for being too hard to use because they\u2019re \u2018too pigmented,\u2019 when in actuality it\u2019s the amount of product that the doe-foot dispenses,\u201d they tell me. \u201cConsumers tend to over-apply so it\u2019s super smart to have a liquid blush that dispenses such a small amount to begin with. You\u2019d have to intentionally press and hold down on that soft bottom to release more than a face worth of blush, which is perfect for those who tend to be heavy-handed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
