I had a Chanel blusher in a small black compact that got discontinued, I am sure it’s not just me, when the time comes to go in search of something new because the product that served you well is no longer available. Anyone remember In control lip pencil from Mac? A best seller that got discontinued.

It has taken me several months to find a suitable replacement and I looked across all brands. I have a pale complexion with dark hair so lighter blusher doesn’t work well and anything with orange or brown tones clash with the natural pink.

The darker tone in this particular blusher works really well as it actually goes on quite light and you build it up for anyone worried it will be too dark.

The texture is light powder but it does blend nicely, no stripes or over made up feel.

It does come in on the expensive side at £54 it is a decent size palette, larger than the old Chanel blush. And the shade again is Mauve Glacé.

Also you get a neat little semi circular blusher brush not pictured included too.
