Test Lab
We love new products, trends and tips but ever wondered about wearing them in real life? Each week we’ll take on a test drive, from the newest nail colour, to playing with perfume or seeing how long that hairstyle actually takes and share what we find (sweet, not-so-sweet and everything in between).

One Blush Fits All

test lab: stila custom color blush canada (Dec.17.10)    


The inspiration: When we heard there was a single shade of blush that would complement all skin tones, we grabbed our makeup brushes and took on the task of testing it on every face we could find.

The product: Stila's Custom Color Blush, $29.  Visit www.stilacosmetics.com for retailers.

The results: We all approached the blush with a little trepidation. The colour is alarmingly bright. Tips for those who aren't accustomed to wearing much blush: Start off lightly and give the brush a tap to remove excess pigment before applying.

Sam (the ever-fearless tester) was up first and applied a generous amount. The colour looked great on her tanned skin. It made her complexion look warm and rosy. Other testers with fairer skin were pleasantly surprised at how light the blush appeared on their skin (having expected something to the effect of neon hot pink).

The blush was created to react with our skin's pH levels to create a natural-looking glow. Not a single tester felt the shade didn't suit them, it really did look different on everyone. 

Even non-blush users liked the colour and a few of us plan to put it on our holiday wish lists — if we can wait that long.
