You know that shade of blush that just seems to always suit you, without fail? For me, it’s a pinky beige. Something not too pink, nor too brown; a lot more of a complexion enhancer, if you will. I’m actually kind of embarrassed to admit that I have a lot more than a few variations of this in my collection, but one blush in particular sticks out in my mind…maybe because I feel like it doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves!
Illamasqua is a brand that just knows how to make blush. I’m a fan of their powder blush formula, too (Hussy, anyone?), but their cream formula is particularly divine. Zygomatic is a seemingly boring pinky beige, but coupled with its dewy, long-lasting, non-sticky formula, and it becomes one of the select few fail-safe blushes in my collection I know I can always rely on.

Although Zygomatic certainly does not fall short in the pigmentation department, it’s not quite as dark as it appears in the pan, so it’s probably better suited for light and medium skin tones. It’s creamy without being greasy, and it blends out with close to no effort in any way (I use a brush, by the way. Not really of fan of using my digits!).
The long-running makeup and appeal blog Unsung Heroes series features much-loved permanent collection products from a variety of bodacious appeal brands.
I have horrible lighting in my apartment, and I often fall victim to the I-thought-I-barely-had-any-blush-on-but-I-actually-look-like-a-clown phenomenon once I see myself in natural light, but not with Zygomatic. Being a lot more of a subtle shade, once it’s on, my complexion just appears awakened and healthy, rather than looking as though I’ve undoubtedly applied a cheek color. great news for those of us who may be a lot more heavy-handed with our blush application (you know who you are!).
The only thing I don’t like about Zygomatic is that it makes me obsess over wanting to add a lot more Illamasqua to my collection, but considering that my local Sephora stores don’t carry Illamasqua, the swatch fest will have to wait for now. For those who are as unfortunate as I am, Zygomatic is also available online for $26.
