Consistency wise, they feel very creamy and smooth, to begin with. They are a cream to powder formula, though, resulting in them being quite dry for a cream product. Rather than having a glossy or wet look to them, they have more of a satin finish, once on the skin. So, if you have oily skin and are wary of creamy products, these may be a great choice, as they aren't at all greasy. I don't find that they disrupt any of my base makeup, like some dewy, super-luminous cream blushes can and they don't exaggerate my pores. During wear, they remain looking gorgeous, with only some slight fading. I'm not a fan of the cheap, fake fragrance of them, but it doesn't linger on the skin. In bright, Summer daylight, these look much more natural, compared to powder formulas and I've been totally addicted to these blushes, reaching for them pretty much daily!

The colour payoff of all four shades is very good, but they aren't scary, extra bright shades and are all wearable, in my opinion. This makes them especially good for any blush newbies, who aren't too confident with cream blush application. When it comes to applying these Bourjois beauties, my weapon of choice is the Real Techniques stippling brush. The duo-fibre hairs allow you to achieve a light application, that can be built up, to achieve an intense effect, if you like a stronger colour. With blush, I would always recommend adding it onto the cheek in light layers, so that you don't end up resembling a clown.
