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.

I got a delux sample as part of the ULTA must have collection. It was very easy to blend on my cheeks and was easy to use. Id buy cheek stain again, but probably in a darker shade next time. :)

Don't let the bright color scare you! I have fair skin and this is a good color for me. It just gives me a natural rosy glow. I gave it less than 5 stars because it doesn't last all day for me. I have combo skin and I think I need to stick to powder blushes. I will only wear this when I won't need it to last more than 5 or 6 hrs.

I wasn't sure I would like the cheek stain but my sister swears by it. I tried hers and loved it. You barely need any, so I'm happy to say it will last awhile and is a great deal. It seems to go on darker than you expect, but after a minute or two it really seems to blend in perfectly with my skin. I'm super pale and this ends up looking quite natural all day.

I was in sephora looking for a new stain blush, the service rep recommended this product and I tried it on my hand, I wasn't impressed it felt greasy - however I received a smaller size of this in one of the gift sets I bought, tried it on my face and fell in love! If only I had took the advice from the rep previously I would have been in love sooner! It gives you a nice flush rosy sheer rosy cheek color and last for hours!!

Absolutely love the sheer watermelon color of True Love. I apply it with my fingertips, and it goes on very naturally and is very buildable. Mine is a deluxe sample size from a kit, and I don't know if this holds true for the full-size, but I wish I would have kept the little fitted cap that went right over the product. (There was a small, clear plastic dome-shaped cover below the main lid.) The product dried out a little w/o that. Other than this, no complaints and I will purchase the regular stain in the future.

True love is an absolutely gorgeous watermelon blush, it looks incredibly natural (even on my fair skin) and blends in well. This stain provides a natural glow all day long, it's by far one of the best stains I've used.

Tarte's cheek stains are the best blush product out there. They look so natural! I love the way they smell and how they apply. I look forward to putting this on in the morning because its fun and they smell so good and fresh! They look gorcheous on the skin! I want all of the colors. This one is great and looks so natural. I have acne prone skin and they do not break me out. The weather is getting colder so I am switching to a cheek stain because in the winter your skin dries out and I don't like to use too much powder.

Olga from FL

I love this color so much. I feel like after you let it dry for a minute it stays on so nicely and gives usch a pretty rosy look :) I really want a few more of these.

I also would like to mention that I have an acne prone skin so I try to stay away from any cream or liquidy products, but this does not break me out at all.

Amanda from NE

So far, I am loving this color. I have pink porcilain skin and this looks really great on. I have oily skin so powder blush can sometimes look odd. This is great because it just looks like my skin, not like something on my skin. I will say that I am not totally convinced of the longevity yet, but I think that might be because it just looks so natural because when I remove my makeup later, I can see that I am taking the color off.

I recieved a travel size of this cheek stain in a kit I had bought from Ulta. I have to say, the color looked horrible on me! It was way too pink for my medium-tan complexion skin. I have tried six of the cheek stains. Five of them I bought: Tipsy, Flush, Full Blossom, Ten, and Green Siren (the only one I woudn't repurchase) and this sixth one, True Love, is not one that I will spend my money on.

Sarah from NY

I love this product! I've always used powder blush and was nervous that a cheek stain would be too hard to apply/blend and impossible to fix once applied but I was so wrong. This cheek stain goes on smooth, blends easily, and is so natural looking (even on my fair skin)that you'd really have to layer it to make it look bad. I'm never going back to powder blush!

I love this stuff. I used to never wear blush because of my pale skin. It used to never look natural. This product goes on smooth. Blends naturally. The color is a natural pink, with no shimmer. Incredibly versatile. It does go on a little sticky at first, but as you blend it in, that feeling goes away. Love this stuff.

This is my favorite shade! I have a very fair complexion and this shade really works for me. There are so many things I love about Tarte's cheek stains... they last all day... they don't feel oily or icky... they are so easy to apply (which is great for a mom who seems to always run behind!) and oh yeah, there aren't any nasty chemicals in them!

I love this product! I was skeptical of the dewey feeling that is first left, however, after a few minutes the stain dries and last ALL DAY! I Love it's beautiful shade and miraculous staying power! Great for a quick everyday look or a dolled up night look. Plus when I am in a time crunch it can double as a lip stain.

I am late to try cheek stains. I am sorry I waited so long, but happy that tarte was my first. I love this color. I am fair and it works on my cheeks and my lips. I love that they are sheer but build-able. If you are on the ends of the skin color spectrum, fair or deep, you know exactly what I mean. If things are highly pigmented and you are fair, you have to tread very carefully or before you know it you look like you are going to a circus. If you are deep, it seems like everything changes color on you if it shows up at all. I agree with a lot of other people that at first it seems waxy or sticky, but that goes away. It does not last long on my bare skin, but over foundation it lasts pretty long considering my oily skin. It does not break me out, rare for something not to. I love the scent, it even tastes good. Normally I do not like fruity in makeup, it tastes or smells fake. I usually prefer mint, but I liked the fruit scent in this more than I expected to. That balmy feeling does not last very long on the lips, but in a jam it works quite well. It certainly stains the lips for a bit. My lips never hold stain unless I use it right before bed. I have to really pile the stain on and sleep in it. For fair girls with cool pink undertones, you will love this color. It reminds me of my natural cheek color after a jog or blushing, but enhanced a bit. It looks deep pink/almost red. It shows light to medium bright but wearable pink on my skin.

I'm 32 years old, a cool medium with pink undertones caucasian, have combination skin, and I have a job that requires me to wear a fresh face mask every hour. This is the ONLY stain/blush I can wear under my face mask that stays on all day and doesn't fade or rub off. It's a lovely color, looks natural and fresh. It's so easy to apply that I can do so in the car without a mirror.

I've never been a big fan of blush, but that was before I used Tarte cheek stain! I've tried several colors, and True Love is the most natural flush on my light olive skin- I put it on and went down stairs, and my mother asked me if I had been exercising because it looked so natural! Will def. be getting this product again.

This product is amazing! I'm a huge fan of blush, and I love how this stays on my face all day without fading! And because it's more like a gel I actually have time to rub it in to my cheeks before it dries all in one spot like other liquid stains. The true love color is so cute! It gives you that really innocent young girl pink flush. I can't wait to try the other colors!

Jennifer from TX

This cheek stain is amazing! This is the first color of many that I will be purchasing. It doesn't feel thick/sticky or oily on my skin which is a really great thing since I have very sensitive (prone to breakouts) skin. The color lasts all day and is easy to layer on without looking like a clown to achieve the amount of blush that you like. I just purchased "blissful" and cannot wait for it to come in!!

I LOVE THIS BLUSH!! It gives such a nice dewy glow. It makes me look so pretty, and fresh faced to go to school. I really don't like wearing too much makeup and looking cakey, and this just helps me look so natural and healthy. This is probably the best gel/cream blush i have ever tried. It doesnt brake out my acne prone skin either. I love it! I love this color too! its so pretty!

I bought this cheek stain for my little sister, she's 14 years old. I didn't want her to put on make-up yet but she's in the experimenting stage. I dont feel too bad on her dicision to use make-up because of all the natural ingridents. I will say I love how it looks on her. It makes her look natural, she looks so cute like she's blussing. Once she's old enough to try more make up Tarte is what I will be getting for her. I dont want her to try anything with harsh ingredients.

I may have to try another cheek stain, I'm starting to think mine is defective. I love the color and concept, but it's extremely hard to apply and very sticky. I can't apply directly to my face - I have to vigorously rub some on my fingers and warm it up then apply to my cheeks. And even then it still tugs as I apply. Beautiful color when it's on, but way to much effort to apply. Also, it says it has a "natural fragrance" - it just smells like castor oil or something to me. This was my first experience with tart's cheek stain - I hope I got a dud and it's normally better than this!

Most natural looking blush I have tried! It leaves a translucent, pink dewy look- not too heavy and not too sheer. It's not the greatest for oily skin as it leaves a little sheen, but amazing on dry-normal skin! The large surface area of the applicator makes it putting on pretty fast.

This is such a great cheek stain! I used to not wear any blush at all but now i love using this. It gives such a great natural look. When you first apply it, it looks a little darker than it actually is. After a few seconds it will sink into your skin and be less noticable. I have light-ish skin, but I'm not super pale, and I usually put about two light coats of it on (which isn't very much product--it lasts a long time). I apply it straight from the stick and then just pat it with my fingers. I absolutely love this. It lasts all day and is just lovely. It's the first cheek stain i've tried but i'm looking forward to trying more.

This Product is so great! I love the way it goes on smoothly and how natural my blush looks!! I also love how long lasting it is. Usually with powder blush, which is what i usually would use before, it wouldn't last very long and I would have to reapply every now and then, but with this product, i don't need to reapply!

I don't know whats my favorite, True Love or Blushing Bride? True Love offers that young and natural look on the cheeks and lips while Blushing Bride can be a bit more seductive and mature. I guess it would be True Love as I use it more often on the cheeks. Like all the other Cheek Stains it can be buildable and stays throughout the day! I'm an Agent 14 (a.k.a. Disguise) and it's absolutely natural-looking! Doesn't feel sticky or smell at all! Thanks for this wonderful color!

I love this cheek stain, I love ALL Tartes cheek stains but this one is at the top of my list :-) I've tried a zillion blushes and tartes cheekstains give you a natural flushed look that doesnt look fake or 'painted on'. Very natural but adds a pop of color that you didnt realize you needed till you have it! :-) wonderful, A+ product (and a huge wonderful bonus are the natural ingredients, you really feel good about putting this on your skin and knowing it's good for it!)

True Love is a gorgeous watermelon pink that is the closest of all the cheek stains to the color I naturally flush. So glad Tarte decided to keep this one part of the regular collection. My all time favorite :) Like all the cheekstains, these look so natural on and last all day!
