IF you are a fan of gel blush; and IF you have smooth, unlined skin without large pores; and IF you are confident in your ability to place color exactly where you want it and blend quickly; THEN I recommend this nifty product. It's a deep rose cheek stain that comes in a narrow bottle w/sponge applicator. It dries almost instantly, so you have to place it carefully and blend it quickly. The color is flattering and natural on most skin tones. If you have large pores it tends to stain them dark, creating a polka dot pattern that you definitely don't want. This isn't for everyone, but it is beautiful and it does last all day. Try smoothing a touch of your foundation over the edges of the color, or even over the color itself for a really subtle, healthy, natural look.
