Manhattan Cheek & Eye Cream is one
of the products of limited Pastel Pretties series. Howether I
found it online for low price- actually in lots of online stores.
Because the photos of one (really: ONE) shade had range from
intensive red to soft pink (yes, the same shade, but just on
different photos) I was quite confused, so decided to bought two
colors 01 Tulipster and 02 Call Me Rosemary.
First of all- the colors aren't so
scary red as you might through. It's like liquid cheek tint- looks
red on the package, but pink on cheeckbones. Which is good- unless you
want super-extra-blood-cheeck-awkward-something then no, this
product is definitely not for you :P
I woudn't say that this is for Cheek
& Eye. I tried both colors on my eyelids- in a moment most of
cream transfered into my crease making horrible line. To make the
color actually seenable I had to use a lot of product, so it might be
that, or just an issue of a formula.
I would say this product is only „Cheek
cream”- and it works fine IF you have clear cheeckbone area. If you
have acne, acne scars or something like that- it will destroy your
foundation and concealler effort. As I've mentioned before you must
use a lot of product.
And then it comes to blending which is fine,
but must be done with fingers- the pigmentation is not super high, it
dries quickly and this cream doesn't really work with any kind of
blush brush.
It is a little bit different if you
have cler skin, or just clear cheeckbone area- this might be good
product for someone that is on rush and just want fastly give some
„life” to face. Then fast application with fingers and natural
finish should be great.
Of course, there is some major flaw- it
disappears very fast. Re-application during a day is a must and I
think more than once (whoooa, I just realized that I've just
accidentally made ridiculous make-up rap, haha). Keep in midn that on
cheeck it will not crease or make some „dirt effect”, but just
disappear into nothing. If it doesn't bother you to re-apply it
during a day you may like it!
The colors itself are very soft, light
shade of pink. As you can see on the photo there are two different
shades, but after blending they look almost the same. Call Me Rosemary is just slightly darker, but it is not very noticable
difference.
There is also one more thing to say-
one of my blushes just separated from the package. Sure, a little bit
of glue should fix it, but it shoudn't happen with new product.
If you have clear skin, don't expect
very long lasting product, but want something light and
natural-looking with a bit of glowy finish- you may try it. But
rather only as cheeck blisher.
Rating: 5/10
Good stuff: natural looking; soft,
pretty colors; glowy, healthy effect, low price
Bad stuff: not very much pigmentation;
not good for places with acne/acne scars; doesn't last long
Would I recommend buying: Maybe
