Blush is Life Baked Dimensional Brightening Blush
Summary of Reviews
Kosas Blush is Life Baked Dimensional Brightening Blush is a pigmented, buildable powder that blends out to a natural, skin-like finish with a subtle glow, not glitter. Professional makeup artist Nikki La Rose calls it "the most foolproof formula and the most foolproof finish at Sephora," noting it works well on both dry and oily skin. Emily Noel finds her shade just okay and doesn't reach for it often, but several others praise its blurring effect and longevity.
