Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher Honey Bunch Review, Swatches & Price – Best Contour/ Bronzer in India!
Hi Girlies,
Finding a good bronzer or a contouring powder in India is such a hard task. However, we still have some options when it comes to bronzing(not affordable though) but finding a matte bronzer for contouring your face is truly a task. Last year, when I was raiding my sister’s wardrobe I came across this gorgeous beauty by Lakme which though is a blush but works much better as a contouring powder. Ladies and ladies, I hereby present to you Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher Honey Bunch.
Product Description
Pure Rouge is a pure pressed powder blusher that provides sheer, lightweight application. Color builds lightly layer after layer without heavy coverage. The natural shades delicately highlight the apples of your cheeks and add a warm glow to your complexion.
Price: Rs 450
Quantity: 6gms
Can be bought online at Flipkart & Nykaa
Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher Honey Bunch Review, Swatches & Price
Packaging
The Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher comes in a purple-maroon plastic casing with a see through lid. The blush also comes with a brush which is sort of useless especially as a blush brush but could probably work well as a contouring brush provided you blend it well with a separate brush. I wish it came with a mirror but barring that aspect I don’t really have any issues with the packaging.
Shade
Lakme Pure Rouge Blush in Honey Bunch is a warm mid toned brown with a bit of a satin finish. This might work well for dusky beauties as a blush as it would add a certain glow to their complexion but I feel it works best as a contouring powder for light to medium skintones. Though it has a slight sheen in the pan but that does not translate onto the cheeks. I have the Sleek Contouring Kit and the contouring powder is exactly like this- not too muddy, not too orange- JUST PERFECT!
Texture
The Lakme Pure Rouge Blush has a soft and satiny texture. It does not emphasize my pores and blends like a dream. Since its really soft the brush does tend to kick up a bit of product making it a wee bit messy.
Pigmentation
Honey Bunch has medium pigmentation – gives a light wash of color in one swipe which can be built up to the intensity you like. I always prefer blushes with such pigmentation as they are not only perfect for beginners but in this case it makes it a beautiful contour product . You don’t want to contour with a powder which is highly pigmented and will easily give a muddy finish.
Staying Power
The Lakme Rouge Blusher- Honey Bunch scores well in this department as well. I easily get a wear time of about 5 hours which can be increased by wearing a primer underneath. It fades evenly and does not get patchy making it perfect for parties as well.
Pros
1) Perfect contouring powder for Indian skintone
2) Can work well as a blush for dusky beauties as well
3) Finely milled and soft in texture
4) Blends easily and does not emphasize the pores
5) Good staying power
6) Well Pigmented
7) Easy on the pocket
Cons
1) The brush provided is useless
2) I would have liked a mirror for touch ups
HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher- Honey Bunch is a warm mid toned brown which makes for a perfect contouring option for light to medium skintone. It is one of the best contouring/blush powders I have used which is finely milled, has good staying power and is well pigmented. If you’re looking for an affordable option to contour your face with then you must check out this beauty by Lakme!
