This blush is a very sheer, shimmery pink. On my very fair skin it hardly shows, so I use it more as a highlighter. The packaging is very pretty, that's part of the (way too high) price you pay I think. The powder is very, very fragile! It was loose in the compact but I was able to very gently push it back in without it breaking all the way. Not what I expect from a 80 euro blush! I mentioned this to customer service but got an unsatisfactory answer (we apologise for any inconvenience...)
