It’s hard to believe that at one point in my makeup life, I didn’t care for blush. I thought blush was basic af, that I didn’t really need it, and that it all looked alike on my skin. All it took was a little time and experimentation to clear that right up. Turns out, I love blush! My favorite blush of all time? Laura Geller Baked Gelato Vivid Swirl Blushes. They are perfect for all skin tones, for all occasions, and I love knowing that when I wear one of these blushes my cheeks will be rosy all day. I was so obsessed with these, I accidentally bought Papaya twice 😄

My skin type

Oily and imperfect. I have fading dark acne scars and tiny icepick scars on my cheeks.

What it’s supposed to do

From the brand: Indulge in creamy swirls of Italian gelato with every application of Baked Gelato Vivid Swirl Blush. The fresh 3-D design captures the look of this decadent frozen treat, and lasts until the very last application! The innovative hybrid texture applies like a powder but feels like a cream, creating translucent, vibrant color for a flirty, natural-looking flush.

How I use it

I swirl a traditional blush brush around in the pan an apply to both cheeks sparingly, building the color until I get the desired pigmentation. This blush is very pigmented! The only shade I double dip with is Papaya and that’s because it’s a peachy shade.

What I like about it

  • It’s super pigmented; a little bit goes a long way which is important with these blushes in particular because it seems like Laura Geller is not restocking these. Sad!
  • Each shade looks different on me.
  • They are great for travel.
  • They are long-lasting cream blushes I never have to reapply and they don’t break me out.
  • I have had these a long time (a couple years) and I haven’t had any problems with these drying out or cracking.
  • They go on effortlessly without being patchy and blending is a breeze.

What could be better

  • I have no complaints about these blushes other than I wish it weren’t going out of stock and that there were more colors. I purchased these from Hautelook so I got quite the discount; well-worth it for HG blushes.

    I bought the Papaya shade on HauteLook, back in 2019 like you, but gave it away. I thought it was too light and bright for my skin tone. The blushes look gorgeous on you! I now regret doing that because it has been discontinued and I’m sure the friend I gave it to tossed it 🙁

      I feel like people really sleep on Laura Geller. Her blushes are fantastic, even the powder ones!
