Manhattan Pastell Pretties Cheek & Eye Cream review



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
