If you too would like to be a blushing beauty, we suggest grabbing this cult fave from Laura Geller. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Beauty may only be skin deep, but feeling beautiful is certainly worth its weight in gold. However, you don't have to pay Midas-level prices to add a little flattering color to your lovely face: Just pick up Laura Geller New York's Baked Blush-n-Brighten Marbleized Blush, a cult-favorite makeup bag mainstay that the brand says sells over a thousand units every single day — and is currently on sale for as much as 50% off at Amazon.
This fan-favorite brand rarely has such A dramatic price drop, especially when there are no associated holidays or savings events going on to prompt it — so we suggest pouncing while you can! You'll score your best savings on the lovely summer-ready shade Tropic Hues, which is down to $14 from $28 (a 50% discount), but you'll also get a serious markdown on pretty tones like Pink Buttercream (yum!), Sunlit Rose and more. We haven't seen this blush drop any lower in price on Amazon, so seriously, jump now while you can get one to try for yourself at half off.
That sales stat we mentioned above is no joke — the brand says that upwards of a thousand of these Baked Blush-n-Brighten blushes are sold every single day across just Amazon and the Laura Geller webstore. That's some pretty incredible selling power ... so what makes these blushes such a cult favorite?
Well, it's all about the formula. Baked Blush-n-Brighten blush is crafted by Italian artisans, who bake the blush on terracotta for a full 24 hours, creating the product's iconic marblelized look and soft, creamy texture. The blush is also made for all skin types and tones, with a wide variety of 15 shades to complement a diverse range of fair to deep skin colors to add a little flattering flush to any cheek. In fact, this award-winning formula is said to "self-adjust" to your skin tone, bringing out the very best in your look. Plus, the blush is enriched with antioxidants, helping to make your skin healthy from the inside out.
Over 5,500 Amazon reviewers have given the Laura Geller New York Baked Blush-n-Brighten Marbleized Blush a fresh-faced five-star rating, with a variety of fans — many of whom are 60 and up — raving about the product's natural look, longevity and feel on the skin.
"I have very sensitive skin, so I'm careful what I use. I started buying the foundation and loved it, so I bought this. It blends in perfectly," said one happy reviewer who bought the Tropic Hues shade, which is currently the most discounted. "The product is very soft on the skin. Perfect for any age, but great for this 65-year-old!"
Another satisfied shopper confessed, "I have picky skin — it's dry sometimes, and oily sometimes. I also have 40-year-old skin, and though it’s in pretty good shape, I’m starting to get wrinkles here and there. I also have hyperpigmentation from not wearing sunscreen enough as well as some acne scarring. [This blush] is wonderful! It covers what needs to be covered, and is buildable and looks totally natural! I also think the Laura Geller makeup primer, Spackle, is a great base for concealer, bronzer, blush and highlighter!" (We happen to agree!)
"Definitely recommend for mature skin ... I'm 77!" said one seasoned knockout. "Love the color and how it goes on! ... The color blends well and doesn't cake. Color stays all day." Another similarly-minded reviewer agreed: "I do recommend it for mature skin for a natural look."
A final fan summed their adoration up thusly: "The perfect blush ... It's just the right color for me, and it helps to brighten my face. The texture of this blush has a nice smooth consistency and goes on evenly; it does not leave any streak marks, but instead, it blends very well and evenly. The blush is perfect for all ages, and it stays on the entire day — and when it's bedtime, it washes off very easily."
This blush doesn't have a whole ton of detractors, but those who had criticisms generally spoke of the shades themselves: "I wish it had a bit less goldish tone to it, but think it will work for my very light skin," said one user.
Another wrote, "This shade is almost too strong even with just a light brush application. I will keep it possibly for nighttime, but will try a less intense, more natural shade next time."
Want to make the most of your new blush? We (along with reviewers) suggest pairing it with the popular Laura Geller New York Hydrate Spackle Primer, also on sale now!
"Now that I'm 67 years old, wow, what a difference," shared a Spackle user. "I've spent a small fortune on all kinds of foundations, and my skin just didn't look good. With this primer in champagne, my skin is transformed into a younger-looking, smoother complexion. It's a keeper, for sure."
