Every beauty editor has their favorite categories. Some people are more naturally drawn to certain spaces than others, whether it be hair, skin, or nails. Mine just so happens to be makeup – more specifically, blush. Cream, powder, liquid – it doesn’t matter. Why? Because I’m going to fall in love and make almost every new product launch my entire personality.
So when Haus Labs re-released its once limited-edition Color Fuse Blushes ($32) and made it a permanent addition to its lineup, my ears immediately perked up. Even better? The brand came out with new shades, so naturally, I jumped at the opportunity to try them. Keep reading for my thoughts on the latest launch in the Haus Labs makeup line.
About the Haus Labs Color Fuse Blushes
- The blush comes in six shades, from a bright pink to a rosy brown.
- The re-designed packaging has a swatch of the color on the outside of the packaging for easy identification.
- The blush is a powder formula and offers a matte finish to skin.
What I Like About the Haus Labs Color Fuse Blushes
My favorite thing about these blushes is that they are true to color. The shade that you see in the pan is the same one that you will get on your skin. Additionally, the range is phenomenal. Whether you want a bold cheek or something more subdued, everyone can find a match with this line. I also really like how this blush naturally fades into the skin. It’s a powder, so the wear time when I apply it alone is about an hour and a half to two hours. Still, I find that it blends beautifully into the rest of my makeup, and when paired with a cream (which is how I typically wear any blush), it lasts closer to four hours before fading.
How to Use the Haus Labs Color Fuse Blushes
I like to use a fluffy brush to apply this blush right above the apples of my cheeks. My go-to shade is Fire Moon, which the brand describes as a beige peach, but it’s more of a warm brown to me. I first apply my foundation, concealer, and bronzer – I find that this blush blends in perfectly with the latter product. The result is sun-kissed skin sans any harmful UV rays.
What to Consider About the Haus Labs Color Fuse Blushes
My only complaint about this product has nothing to do with the blush formulation itself and everything to do with the size – the new version, which is five grams, is much smaller than the original, which was 11 grams. Granted, I have never in my life finished a blush, so this likely won’t be an issue, but it’s still worth noting.
Where to Buy the Haus Labs Color Fuse Blushes
The blushes can be purchased in-store and online at Sephora and Hauslabs.com.
