I want to start this post by saying that I am not a huge fan of blushers. Sometimes foundation can totally make me look washed out which is why I only apply blush to bring a little life back into my face. I tend to apply very little, making it hardly noticeable which is why Coy, one of e.l.f. Essentials Natural Radiance Blusher's, is one of my favorite blushes.
As you can see, Coy gives a beautiful golden sheen. I use Coy when I want to make my cheekbones stand out but I don't want to add any color to my cheeks. I tend to apply it on the top of my cheekbones more so as a highlight using e.l.f.'s Studio Blush brush or e.l.f.'s Essentials Blushing, Bronzing & Blending brush. I'll even place it right on the brow bone as a highlight.
Now while I am in love with Coy, I really wouldn't recommend e.l.f. Essentials Natural Radiance Blusher's to anyone. They are not very pigmented at all and they come off extremely ashy on darker skin tones. That was the case with both Glow and Innocence, which is why I tossed them a minute ago. However, I held onto Flushed. It's not bad at all. It's a light red and also gives a nice glow or sheen. Although, to be honest, I don't really reach for it because I prefer more of a pink or peachy blusher. If you're wondering, the glow comes from fine glitter particles that shimmer and really do catch the light. Don't worry, the glitter is hardly noticeable. Both Coy and Flushed last all day as well. In conclusion, Coy is must-have if you're looking for no color but a great golden sheen however you can pass on all of the other shades in the same line. Trust me, keep your dollar. You can find alot better.
