The Winter Olympics are now over, and so too the blush marathon must end.  I feel as though I’ve spent a significant amount of time over the last few weeks on Chanel products, so it is time to add some variety.  Later on, there may be time to add some more Chanel Joues Contrastes from my drawer to the site.

So far, I’ve reviewed fifteen Chanel blushes in the Joues Contrastes format.

To organize the information here, here are the Chanel Joues Contrastes blushes reviewed on the site to date:

  • Enchanteresse is reviewed here.
  • Fandango is reviewed here.
  • Imprevu is reviewed here.
  • In Love is reviewed here.
  • Lumieres Magiques is reviewed here.
  • Luna is reviewed here.
  • Mocha is reviewed here.
  • Narcisse is reviewed here.
  • Nude is reviewed here.
  • Orchid Rose is reviewed here.
  • Reflex (non-U.S.) is reviewed here.
  • Rose Bronze is reviewed here.
  • Rose Petale is reviewed here.
  • Tempting Beige is reviewed here.
  • Turbulent is reviewed here.

Hopefully this will allow you to click to compare them.

One blush that I’m unlikely to ever add is Fresque, which was released for Fall 2009.  I’ve tried this several times at counters, attempting to get it to work but I still cannot understand the logic of that blush.  It’s either the peach equivalent of Narcisse, or a glowy highlighter.  Unfortunately, it nearly completely matches my natural skintone when applied.  Chanel’s sales associates (yes, more than one) have literally refused to sell it to me, as it simply is invisible on me when applied.  If you are fair and warm toned, now you know.

Which is  your favorite blush–of any brand or type?

  1. Thanks for reviewing all those. It was really helpful. My favorite blush that I own is stila peony. I actually have fresque and it is highlighter-esque on me (i think i’m about nc20). Its my first Jc and I really love it as a subtle cheek

  2. Thank you so much for all this work on Chanel, particularly the blushes. You’ve helped me choose a couple to order from the website, as well as started lemmings from others. And with this last comment, you’ve clued me in on how fair I must be–I have to be careful with Fresque; otherwise, it looks clownish. Maybe I shouldn’t be eyeing the Fandango!

    • Oh good Catherine! I’m glad that you enjoyed this! I did too….You sound fair enough to really enjoy Les Tissages in the rectangular pan with the tweed-texture finish. Those tend to go on more naturally and lighter than some of the deeper Joues Contrastes? Although with a skunk brush almost anything seems wearable!
