Julep Skip The Brush Cream to Powder Blush Stick - Golden Guava - 2-in-1 Cream Blush and Lip Color Stick - Blendable, Buildable Cheek Formula, No Brush Required, Cruelty-Free, For All Skin Types

Time to try some new make up and I love this brand. I’m wearing Skip the Brush Trio of muted mauve, neutral bronze, and sheer glow. These colors blend seamlessly. Eyeshadow is Stone matte on the crease, putty matte on the lid, and snowflake matte on the brow. Eyeliner is smoky taupe shimmer. Lipstick is Rich plum. These go on like a cream and after 45 seconds or so they dry like a powder, but don’t make you look cakey, as you can see in the photo. My face has a lovely healthy glow to it without looking glittery. Honestly, this makeup isn’t going anywhere and it should last all day. I have mature skin that is not sensitive, so I cannot comment on the compatibility on sensitive skin. Of course I always use a moisturizer and an eye cream before applying makeup. I do not have any foundation on or any tinted moisturizer in this photo. This is just what the product looks like on my face. It does not take long to apply and if you need to wipe it off to lighten your application, you have to use a baby or facial wipe or something that can remove make up.This is combination is a winner for me, as the mauve will go with all the colors I wear and looks great with my hair and face tone.

I have a fair red based and freckled complexion. This blush color looks great on my skin. It was easy to apply and smudge around with my finger. The color compliments the lip colors I got from Julep too. I will def buy this again when needed.

53 W/F menopausal Lt/medium combo skin. Stopped wearing makeup a while ago because my historic go to’s weren’t sitting on my skin right anymore. After some research, got these to try the stick formulations as the price point was middle of the road, reviews were good and I have a ton of Julep shadow sticks which are very good.Tried them as soon as they arrived. Even on bare non prepped skin, they blended well. Left a nice sheer color payoff. Application was quick and easy.The guava blush color is a dupe for NARS Orgasm (best most versatile blush of all time) which is sort of a sunburn color so very natural looking on all skin tones once blended out despite its bright appearance in the tube.The sheer hi lighter is lovely. An actual sheer, no glitter/strobe light effect.Bronzers can be too orange for my cool tone skin but this one wasn’t however, it leaned too yellow for me to use as an eye shadow on my pasty white lids though I may have just applied too much in my rushed non prepped trial. I have found that a darker contour stick from this brand is more realistic than the "bronzer" due to how it leans yellow on my cool tone skin. For clarity it doesn't blend out yellow, but I see yellow, I say no for me.I have not ordered the foundation stick because I’m happy with the one I have but might just for travel/on the go.I’ve ordered the medium contour stick and some other blush colors and will report back if anything is notable.On my bare skin with no foundation/powder, this washed off quickly with a standard face wash.Only reason for 4 stars is I wish they had more color options, and I haven’t tested the length of wear yet.UPDATE: Tried additional colors with full skin prep, tinted serum, etc. Blended better but not so much better that you couldn't skip prep/tinted serum/foundation. My daughter actually complimented it and said it looked very natural. Wore while just home for the day to verify longevity. A little powder to the T Zone after a few hours which I would need anyway regardless of formulation/brand.I prefer the contour stick in Mocha to the Bronzer as it has no hi-light and is less yellow on my lids. My daughter said they looked the same, but I like to control my own hi-light, especially since I still get oily in some places.Now for color...the Desert Rose is warm, almost coppery. Not great for cooler toned skin but would be gorgeous on you warmer gals.The Muted Mauve is a very cool almost Lavendar. I'm sure it would be beautiful if one were wearing similar colors or maybe on very fair or silver haired gals but if natural is what you're going for, I don't think this one is it. The most natural to me for any skin tone would be the Guava because it mimics the color of a little sun or a good run/workout.Peony is a classic pink.Rose gold to me isn’t a “blush” unless you’re very fair. Otherwise, it’s more of a flesh toned hi-lighter. Pretty on lips/lids but doesn’t show any actual color anywhere else in my light/med skin, just a hi-light. It’s lighter in person than in the pic.The taupe contour stick is just that. A perfect taupe to create subtle shadows where you need/want them.As I mentioned, I use them on my lids too but even better, ALL work well on lips to offer a sheer but long wearing wash of color to pull it all together. Even the sheer hi-light looks great on lips to add just a little something.UPDATE: returned the Dessert Rose, too warm/copper but as I said, would be gorgeous on darker/warmer skin tones. Missed to return window for the mauve so gave it another shot. Correct, it works well when wearing similar colors. Its lavender in the tube but blends out to a nice mauvy pink. Not natural enough on me for an everyday color like Guava but still think it would be gorgeous on fair skinned or silver haired ladies.***I’d say, skip the trial and error, save your money and go with guava blush, the paler champagne hi-light and whatever contour stick (not the bronzer) you think is best for your skin tone and you’ll be happy with your new 3 minute you only better face. :-)

This blush has a lot of pigment. It only takes a little and it lasts all day. I highly recommend this blush.

Generally speaking this is a pretty color. However, I was not expecting the slight gold shimmer (I am not a fan).The stick would have been a five star product without the gold glitter addition.

I bought the cool taupe for my very pale skin. It’s very subtle and I liked that. It’s very creamy and easy to apply. I use a brush to apply but your fingers would work as well. It was a little melted but I live in Texas so it’s not the products fault.

I cannot recommend this blush stick at all. The stick is not solid enough and is so messy. Total Thumbs down!I’m going back to the ELF’s stick. It is great and cost $5 compared to Julep for $19.See this link for a better choice.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MWSRJ89/?coliid=IS64W0CSEHOEF&colid=1UJ5JIFVGWCI1&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_em_ud_lstpd_WYW0M8B7XS6KBZT1ET2S

I love this brand! The only thing I don’t love is the contour color, and how it just doesn’t blend with the blush colors. No biggie, I’ll use that contour color as eyeshadow until it runs out. Great stuff, great pricing!

Lo uso de rubor y lipstick, lo amo, súper suave la fórmula, fácil de trabajar y lograr el acabo que deseas.

This is a great blush for mature skin, very buildable and extremely easy to use. The colours are really lovely, the mauve being a great shade for cool fair toned skin. My go to has always been Clinique chubby stick in the past, but I am now watching the pennies. Julep is a great alternative at a good price point.

This is my favourite blusher of all time! It really suits me and brightens my complexion. It has a subtle shimmer. It’s super easy to apply and lasts for ages. I use high end makeup but this is far better and far cheaper.

This highly pigmented cream blusher shows up really well on my dark brown skin. A little goes a long way and it lets all day too so it’s good value for money.I needed a dark colour to show on my skin, it’s a lovely rich creamy consistency. I apply it with my finger and l only need a little which l work onto my cheeks with my fingers. Good value.

The colour from this cream blusher is amazing. It blends in beautifully and with a little setting powder it stays fresh all day. Brilliant on the lips too. Really pleased with this product
