Close you eyes and imagine the perfect summer blush. A touch of warm pink, a touch of coral, and a whole lot of glow. Can you see it? This limited edition liquid blush from By Terry is the ultimate summer blush! Inspired by their epic luminous Brightening CC Serums (full review here), this liquid blush offers more than just a pretty flush to the cheeks. Thank you to the By Terry team for gifting me this product.

The By Terry Brightening CC Blush Illuminating Blusher retails for $39.00 USD and is available at By Terry and other retailers. This liquid blush is housed in a luxurious glass bottle with a pump. It is just a miniature version of the CC Serum packaging, which is very convenient for dispensing product and is easy to control the amount of product being dispensed. Additionally, it keeps the product incredibly clean and sanitary. This packaging is very luxurious but not ideal for traveling.

SHADE

As far as I know, this is the first time this product has ever been released. There is only this one shade for the Summer 2020 collection in Rosy Flash. This glowing blusher is soft peachy pink with fine gold shimmer. This is a very universally flattering fresh shade for a wide variety of skin tones and even for a deep skin tone, you can use this beautiful warm peachy shade as a highlighter.

Since this this formula is inspired by the CC Serums, I think the name Rosy Flash is a combination of the CC Serums in Rose Elixir and Sunny Flash. However, if you mix those two shades together, you don't exactly get the Rosy Flash blsuher. Mostly because the blusher is much more pigmented but I can see the color inspiration for this blush. The warm from Sunny Flash and the rosy pink from Rose Elixir inspired this beautiful summer shade.

FORMULA 

This liquid blush formula is the same texture and consistency of the Brightening CC Serums, which is a light viscous liquid. It isn't a runny liquid blush and almost has a bit of a liquid-gel consistency. I find this formula to be quite pigmented and you only need a very small drop to get a fresh flush on your cheeks. I think the best method of application is to pump a tiny bit on the back of your hand, then dot some onto your cheeks. Then, taking a stippling brush or a dense buffing brush, use a stippling motion to blend the liquid blush onto your cheeks.

I find this formula to be very easily buildable, you can continue to layer on the blush without causing your base or the other layers of blush to move around and look patchy. The blush blends to the skin very seamlessly and it adds a very  fresh glow to the cheeks. The glow is almost-wet looking but it's still looks very natural. This blush is luminous but the fine shimmers don't emphasize texture or imperfections in the skin.

This liquid blush lasts quite a long time without fading, approximately 6-8+ hours. I think this will depend on your skin type but on my dry skin, it wears well beyond 8 hours. You can also apply this liquid blush as a base and apply a very light layer of powder blush to set. This will help extend your blush significantly. I think this formula works for all skin types from dry to oily because it doesn't have an emollient texture like a cream blush. Therefore, you won't have movement of the blush. Instead, the liquid blush just fuses with the skin and leaves a long-lasting fresh flush.

THE LOOK

You can see the fresh glow this liquid blush adds to my skin but no additional gloss or texture to my skin. It just looks like a very natural flush from within.
