Flower Knows Swan Ballet Embossed Blush

So pretty great for very fair olive skin. Not too pigmented so it’s easy to apply without being too careful. Super beautiful too

Super cute, bought 3 items as a gift for my daughter - she loves them, they look like they came from the Victorian era

Cute gave to my sister-in-law. She loved it

I'm giving this 5 stars because I can't give it 4.5, and it doesn't deserve to be rounded down to a 4 either. The packaging is, of course, stunning. Flowet Knows always delivers on the packaging. The compact feels beautifully weighted, with a solid magnetic closure that gives it that satisfying click of luxury. It's palm-sized and very manageable to open and hold, even for someone like me with some motor skill issues and hand tremors. The layered swan design is captivating because it genuinely looks like there's water behind the swans in certain lighting. I even love the embossed swan on the blush itself… though I do mourn it a little every time I swipe my brush across it. RIP powder swan. The formula is subtle yet buildable, blending easily without patchiness. The texture is just a touch chalkier and drier than I prefer in general, especially compared to my go-tos like Laura Geller, Tower 28, Charlotte Tilbury, and RMS. Those tend to have a smoother, more luminous finish that gives skin a glow or highlight, while this one leans matte and softly diffused. I find myself reaching for this for a matte blush, but I reach for it less than the others. The shade 03 Silky Ribbon is flattering on my fair, cool-toned skin with pink undertones; it looks very natural and soft. I do wish the shade range were more inclusive in general, though, as most shades here seem to favor lighter complexions. If you have fair skin, love collectible packaging, and prefer a soft-focus matte blush, this is an easy recommendation.

Very nice lavender-pink blush that goes on smoothly and doesn't fade. Good for layering over deeper shades. Might not show up too well on olive or really dark skin, though; possibly would look chalky and strange. Let's face it, many will buy this item mostly for the case; and on that attribute it doesn't disappoint. Very cute package with exquisite attention to detail. Will use it as mirrored compact after blush used up.
