CHANEL Joules Contraste Powder Blush Review - 15 Orchid Rose

Chanel Blusher - 15 Orchid Rose £31
Chanels Joules Contraste Blusher in 15 Orchid Rose is a warm peach shimmery shade.
I have read other reviews which state that the US version is a different colour, I have the shade which is available in Europe.  The formula is really soft and fine, enabling product to be picked up easily with a single stroke of a brush.  The shimmer in the blush is subtle and acts as a highlighter without accentuating pores or fine lines, giving skin a healthy looking glow.

Orchid Rose applies as a subtle shade, but can be built up in layers to give a heavier peachier look.  I applied it lightly as I have naturally blushed cheeks and so too much blusher doesn't suit me.  I was really impressed by how pigmented this is for a shimmery shade, when I swatched it it went almost opaque in just a few layers.  The blush lasted me all day with just one touch up at around mid-day.

The packaging is sleek and elegant, it comes with a handy mirror and a little clear cover for the blush to help keep the mirror clean.  It also comes in a velvet pouch to stop the shiny casing from getting scratched.  I found that the brush included was pretty good for retouching throughout the day, but I'd still rather use a MAC brush for initial application in the morning.
