Makeup Review: Black|Up Blush in NBL 08

I love a good highlighter as much as I love a fabulous blush. And, guess what? I stumbled on a 2-for-1 with Black|Up Blush in NBL 08. I was sent this blush for review, and when I saw the gold color, I thought I may have a problem making it work. But that is so NOT the case. First, the deets about this wonderful blush/highlighter.

Why I love it:

Black|Up Blush in NBL 08 is a gorgeous gold blush or highighter that is beautiful on deeper tones . I really don’t like to categorize it as a blush as is shows up on the skin as a “glow”, or illuminator. In photos, this highlighter looks beautiful and very natural. I love that it requires very little of the product to show on my skin, just proving that this is a line of makeup that’s perfect for brown skin.

One of our writers who is lighter in tone tried Black|Up Blush in NBL 08 and it looked sort of odd, so I definitely recommend it for the melanin rich skin tones. It last s all day, from the time you put it on, until you take it off!
