For now, these are the last of my Michael Todd blush swatches: some of his “Shimmer” blushes. These are heavy swatches (so you can properly see the color of the shimmer), but my first thought was still, “woah, ‘shimmer’ is right.” (Gina and Gabriella seem less shimmery, so I guess they’re not all like that.)
Olivia is warm pink with heavy gold shimmer. Ava is more pink, with less gold shimmer. I guess you could say Olivia and Ava are analogs for NARS Orgasm and Deep Throat. Zora is bubblegum (or Barbie) pink with dense silver/white shimmer.
Gabriella is dusty, mauvey, blue-pink. This pan seemed curiously hard, and seems almost matte (I guess it has a few silver sparkles). I don’t know if I was swatching a dud. Mia is the color of terracotta clay, a very sparkly orangey brown. Gina is a sheer (somewhat chalky) rosy brown nude with a few silver sparkles.
I guess it’s worth mentioning that Michael Todd’s website now lists Lilia as a Shimmer Blush, though the packaging I received put it with the regular blushes. It’s also substantially less shimmery than many of the others swatched here.
These blushes are $17 on Michael Todd’s website; $9.99 on All Cosmetics Wholesale. All Cosmetics Wholesale provided these products for swatching purposes.
