Bethenny Frankel declares this the 'best' liquid blush — and it's down to $11
If Bethenny uses the L'Oréal True Match liquid blush, then we're using the L'Oréal True Match liquid blush.
If we've learned anything from social media in the past couple of years, it's that Bethenny Frankel is the undisputed queen of drugstore beauty products. Her most recent rec? L'Oréal's True Match Lumi Le Liquid Blush — and right now it's down to a happy $11.
Considering the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills icon is already a fan of L'Oréal's True Match Lumi Glotion, we're not surprised that she couldn't stop raving about the matching blush in Instagram post. And, yes, it makes you look fabulous.
This seriously pigmented tint comes in six shades, including a fun coral and this fresh-faced pink.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
It's not a secret that most celeb-loved beauty products tend to be on the pricier side. But a high-quality liquid blush that's Housewife-approved and marked down from an already affordable $15? Yeah, that's major.
Why do I need this? 🤔
First off, who doesn't want a glowy, natural-looking flush that lasts all day? Thought so. In the Instagram post, Frankel compares the blush to other popular ones, like the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush ($25). While the pigments are just as strong, the L'Oréal liquid blush is even more blendable and lasts longer without turning cakey.
"It's very blendable," she explains. "But it doesn't stain the face in the way where you look like a clown." Honestly, that's all we really need in a blush.
As she demonstrates in the video, Frankel recommends swiping the formula on your hand first and pat it in using a blush brush from the high points of your cheeks to your temples. The result is a dewy pop of color that looks both natural and youthful. "Davoon! You're going to have to just trust me."
What reviewers say 💬
With an overall rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars, Amazon shoppers clearly agree with Frankel that the L'Oréal blush is the real deal. One shopper even compared it to Estée Lauder.
Pros 👍
"At 52, I am a makeup newbie," explained this novice in their five-star review. "However, I tried the Lumi Glotion and it blended so well and looks so pretty, I bought this blush too. There is a light shimmer to it and the color is very nice. Super easy to use. I use two dots during the day or three if I am going out at night."
"This blush is currently my new favorite blush," wrote a second happy customer. "Previously had several expensive designer brands and for the price and quality, cannot beat this. Works great, pigmented and lasts all day."
"Gorgeous color and a beautiful, smooth application," shared one five-star fan. "A little goes a long way. I use one dab on each cheekbone and spread it with my fingers. I will definitely repurchase once I get through this bottle."
"I wanted a liquid blush for days where I just wear tinted sunscreen and don’t want to apply powder products over it," started a final reviewer. "This is a really nice blush. Love the color, it’s buildable and very blendable. I do find you need a setting spray if you want it to last all day but overall a great product for the price."
Cons 👎
A couple of reviewers note that you shouldn't use it with certain foundations.
This four-star reviewer advised: "I’d recommend not putting any foundation underneath the areas you’re applying this blush because it most likely will lift up your foundation and make it look patchy. Instead, mix this blush with the foundation and apply it as one layer on your cheeks. Once I started this technique the blush worked beautifully."
For those who are interested in the glitter shades, here's why one customer knocked off a star: "Beautiful color but, I feel like the size of glitter particle is a little too chunky."
This brood-y deep berry is perfect for a glam night out.
