I have three cheek stains, including this one, and I honestly love all of them. They blend easily, last forever, and smell great. They also leave a really lovely dewey look on the cheeks that is just really, really pretty. I highly recommend this product to just about anybody.

I hate blushes because when you put them on sometimes you put too much on and then you have to blend it real good, then put some powder over it for it to look natural but not this! I love this blush in True Love, i just rub it twice where i need it and take my blush brush to blend it. That's it, nothing else! It looks so natural it looks like i worked out and got a natural healthy blush to my cheeks. It also smells so good, yummy and i know it's also real healthy 'cause of the T5 Super Fruit Complex. I give this blush a 5 out of 5 stars.

Amazing product. I apply directly to the apples of my cheeks and then blend with my fingers. It looks dark/heavy at first, but it quickly fades to a beautiful natural looking blush. I have fair skin and love this color.

I got this in the sample size and I am definitely going to buy the full size when I run out. It looks so natural on my fair skin and I even sometimes put it on my lips and that looks really great too! Its long lasting, light, and is my favorite blush right now!

I was a little hesitating whether giving these cheek stains a try or not because I am not a big fan of gels and things could make my face sticky and oily but boy was I wrong!! this stuff is amazing! I am in love specially with this color. It looks reeeeeally dark but it is actually pretty sheer when you apply and you can just apply more until you are satisfied with the color. They are so easy to blend! They dont dry your skin or make it oily. I have light skin and this color looks very natural on me. I fully recommend this

I love the smell of this! I also love the color! I think the tube colors look scary on the outside but I think anyone could wear this shade as it goes on sheer and you just dab it in. i don't think it is sticky once its blended in likes some say.

This was my first time using a cheek stain, and I must say, I really like it. I usually prefer powder blushes, but this was a nice change from my normal routine. I have oily/combination skin, so I was hesitant about a gel cheek stain, but it did not make my skin feel greasy. Personally, since I have oily skin, I think I would use this more during the colder months rather than in the summer because I feel like it is a bit more moisturizing than powder. I use a foundation brush to lightly apply this on my cheeks, and it gives me just the right amount of color. Just make sure you don't go overboard with this. A little goes a long way, and it is very buildable. It has a pleasant and light fruity smell, too. Overall, I think this is a great product.

I'm in LOVE with this product! I have always wanted to try these cheek stains because another makeup artist told me how great they are. And now I see why, it looks so natural I was surprised. I got this shade in the holiday kit and was a little worried when I first saw it considering I am very fair. But the color was perfect, I just use it sparingly. 5 stars amazing tarte!!

Just got this for Christmas and already am in love with it! I've never had a blush that blends so smoothly with my skin and looks really natural. I have it in flush and it looks a little intense in the tube, but not at all when you put it on. And the smell makes it even more fun to put on!

Jessica from MD

I feel kind of stupid for not trying the product that made tarte famous until now. I've had bad experiences with gel blushes/stains in the past, and I have oily skin, so I naturally gravitate toward powders.

I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this cheek stain mini in flush from a gift set. I have fair skin with cool undertones, dark brown hair, and green eyes. This is a great color for me, though, I was expecting it to be, since I have the powder version in flush already. I think that the stain is a little more buildable and forgiving than the powder, which is easy to overdo (but can still be fixed).

My main gripe with other gel formulas in the past is that it scrapes away my foundation/concealer I worked so hard to apply and highlights acne. Although some of my foundation comes off when I apply the cheek stain directly from the tube, it's not much, and I don't feel like it ruins my foundation. If I had nice even, blemish-free skin where foundation is optional, I would more likely gravitate toward the stains. Also, other gel blushes feel like sludge on your cheeks, and this is definitely not the case here. Tarte's cheek stain feels so light and cooling!

Will I buy this again? Possibly. I do have 7 of the 8 powder blushes, so there's not exactly a void for blush in my collection, but I do find myself reaching for it. We'll see how sad I am when it's gone.

This color is amazing for fall/winter! I used tipsy most of the summer and I was very happy with my first cheek stain so it was time for a deeper fall tone. Flush scared me a bit but when I tried it on it looked amazing. I have a light skin tone and I was nervous the red in it would be very harsh but it really looks like I just walked in from cold weather! It looks great on the lips as a stain as well, it helps give that snow white look. These stains are pretty and they last, I'm hooked! I can't wait to try the True Blood shade!

Anne from NH

Very natural looking. I have pretty fair skin and this color was pretty close to perfect. I have one other cheek stick from another company and when comparing the two, I could really see just how much more natural this appeared. The application process did take some getting used to but that's no big deal.

I absolutly love this product! This was the first time I have ever tried Tartes cheek stain...and I am so glad that I got this color because now that the season is colder its time for rosey cheeks and "Flush" has the perfect purpleish pink tint for the winter season!

Joyce from TN

I received a deluxe travel size of this shade in a value set. I love the smooth application and healthy berry flush, and it's great that I have time to smooth out the edges before it dries, eliminating the harsh lines that some other stains leave. I'd like to try some of the other shades, but this one is very pretty and I might buy a full-sized stick when my generous sample is gone.

Rachel from VA

I absolutely love this. I've used it for years, and haven't found anything that's even close. Though it looks deceptively dark in the tube, it provides such a natural looking flush once on the face. It's very easy to build up if you want more color, or you can leave it light if that's more your style. It stays on all day, no problem. It feels and smells great. Just a warning: make sure it doesn't get hot (like outside on a summer day) - it's a gel, so it will melt a bit, but not to the point that you can't use it. I've turned at least 5 different people on to this cheek stain, and they all love it as well! You won't be disappointed.

I got to try a mini "Flush" in a sample kit I purchased from Sephora. You really can put this on anytime because a quick sweep of the berry color is quite natural on bare skin. I would suggest this color for light-medium-to olive skin tones. I really like to use this with Tarte's tinted moisturizer on my days away from work on my cheeks and lips. It has a yummy smell that reminds me of roses and a sheer color that you can build-up to your preferred intensity.

Jennifer from CA

Love the color - it reminds me a lot of Benetint, but in an easier to apply formula. The color might look a bit strong at first, but it blends very well.

The 4 stars is because the formula is a little sticky on your cheeks at first, although it goes away. I also had some trouble getting the plastic lid off the top and the product got sorta dented in the process.

I bought this color after having such a great experience with the Tipsy cheek stain. I have a meduim-tan complextion, and I have always been weary of red and pink and berry hued blushes, they just never look as good on me as they do on those with fair skin. Well, I LOVE THIS COLOR! It truely did give me a natural flushed look! I have become a true believer of tartes cheek stains! It did loose have a star because it does not stay on ALL day, but it does last longer than any other brand of blushes I have tried.

I love this cheek stain! I have dark hair, dark eyes and light complexion. This give just the right amount of color to my cheeks, and a bit of a dewy look. I had always ended up with a splotchy look when I tried cheek stains before. This stays on, no splotchiness, just perfect. A definite must have in my make-up bag!

At first, I wasn't too sure bout this product. After a couple MONTHS, I finally got it down and I love love love the dewy look it gives. It's all about how much and how you put it on. Tip: run a brush of loose powder softly all over face after the blush is applied.

I love blush, and have tried so many brands, but I think I have found the one. I was at Ulta one day and saw that they had a sample of the intros to tarte...it was like 25 bucks for 5 lil mini's and it came with the stain in flush, I immediately fell in love and went online and ordered more...good thing it was %40 off your entire purchase around the holidays, I spent well over $200 on makeup, that's with my %40 off hehe... I got a full size of flush, dollface, and true love....my fav and go to is the flush tho, it makes u look just as it says, flushed. the dollface one is really light pink, i usually wear that over my secret agent tinted moisturizer i also got on off days for a more casual day, true love is okay on me, a lil lighter than the flush....i can't wait to try out more colors tho, i am a true makeup junkie, i will always want to try/have it all ;P oh yea, i'm asian and i wear secret agent 10 if that helps, i have more of a light to medium bisque skin color, i would go with the flush, u can go lighter or darker, and it looks very good on your lips too under some chapstick for a pop of color

I had read all the reviews, and was still nervous to try this product after I purchased it. The color of the stain in the tube is very intimidating... But I was so surprised! I LOVE it. Just a couple dabs and you have a perfect flush, you can really control how bold you want to go. I've recommended it to ALL of my friends, even the skeptics, and they love it too.

This was the very first cheek stain that I bought at Ulta. It was my first tarte purchase and I love the color, the scent and the easy packaging. I was a little intimidated at first because I thought I would mess up when applying it, but it was such a breeze and I have recommended these cheek stains to all of my girlfriends and the women in my family. It's so worth the 30 dollars because you're getting soooo much product. Plus, the color lasts you all day. It's the perfect cheek product!

This cheek stain is really the classic "flush" color that you expect/hope for from a stain. It would flatter almost all complexions. A little goes a long way and it looks great on lips too -- a nice bright rose. This one also has a bit more of a gel feel than the other colors.

I can't seem to find the color I originally got in a Sephora set last winter, but I have 'Flush' now and I'm delighted with it. I was afraid since it was a little rosier it may look painted on, but it's so sheer and blends so well even over powder and foundation without losing glow that you really can't tell I'm not just naturally flushed. It isn't sticky either, I'd heard that the less creamy shades were kind of tacky on the face and just haven't found it to be true.

I didn't go a full 5 stars just because I find it gets a little melt-y on the sides of the container, and I tend to pay more for my makeup because I want more from my makeup: including practical and adorable packaging. It is adorable, yes, but having it getting kind of funky at the bottom isn't.

The most natural blush I've ever come across - it really does look like a "flush"! I bought the full size soon after receiving my Intro to Tarte kit. Love that while it's a stain, it truly isn't a gel or sticky in any way. They are very easy to work with and the end result is so worth it!

atfer purchasing three tarte cheek stains which i loved soooooo much i decided to buy the third. But i have been having a lot of problems with this one. I purchased this one from ebay, and i received a mushy and overly liquidy stain. So i asked for a exchange, but i ended up getting an another similar one. Is it because of the weather is so hot or what?

I'm knocking it down because I don't feel it is completely user friendly. I've had a hard time getting both sides to match in coverage and placement. While I would say it blends well, if you make a mistake, it isn't very forgiving. I feel this color is too red, but the product itself allows for layering which is great for all colors of skin. Major pros though: smells great, and feels cool to the skin during application, I've had no clogging of my pores, lasts forever/sweat proof. I want to explore more colors at this time, but I'm also not ready to get rid of my powder blushes just yet.

By far the best blush in my opinion for winter. Flush looks like you've just come back excercising or someone just pinched your cheeks. Very natural looking and no one will believe you're wearing makeup if you don't wear foundation or anything. :) It gives a nice natural look.

I have heard so many great things about this product that I finally had to give in and give it a try! This is the best beauty treasure I have found in years. I love a stain but my issue with the stains I've tried is that they don't blend well, don't look natural, and they leave you with a stained finger for the rest of the day. This stain has NONE of those negative characteristics! I'll list the pros: Looks natural, Easy to build color, Great scent, Stays put, Will last FOREVER, Will not stain your fingers, Blendable, Does not irritate my super-sensitive skin. Now I'll list the cons: Huh? There aren't any! The only con is that I haven't tried any of the other colors yet! No worries, I'll be fixing that soon! *The final word* -
This is the only blush product that I will be using henceforth. GOODBYE STAINED FINGERS!!! Now I just have to start working on converting all of my friends and family. With this awesome product that will be a cinch!

I can't believe how much I love Tarte cheek stains. It seems like you can't go wrong no matter what color you get. Super blendable, buildable color, dewy finish, great smelling, and amazingly natural! My friend was talking wth me while I "put on my face" and she actually stopped mid-sentence to comment on the cheek stain effect. She said she couldn't believe how natural it looked because she was a litle skeptical when she saw the tube. And if you're not a fan of the finish, dusting on a bit of powder will give you a more matte finish. I really feel you can't go wrong here!
