'Frivole' is described as a "luminous apricot" (medium orange with the slightest hint of pink). When swatched, it surprisingly appears brighter and not as deep as it appears in the pan. It's vibrant and while it mostly appears to have a matte finish on the skin, in the pan, the subtlest shimmers can be seen, which gives the slightest luminosity to the cheeks. It has excellent colour pay-off. Its silky smooth, finely milled powder texture make it effortless to blend and build intensity with depending on your preference and the depth of your skin tone.
Swatch
All swatches applied on olive, medium to tan skin (~NC30-35). Photographed indoors under artificial lighting and using a strobe.
Comparative Swatches
Even though the photograph below Le Metier de Beaute's first (top) blush in the Blush Kaleidoscope Kit looks fairly close, LMdB is actually deeper and has a more pink/red undertone in person. Chanel Joues Contraste in 'Espiegle' is very much paler, leans more peachy pink with a white base and has a lot of shimmers in it.
For other swatches - visit Cafe Makeup (for paler skins) or Weekend Ramblings (for darker skin tones).
Bottom Line
My heart sings whenever I apply this little beauty onto my cheeks. ^_^ Oh joy! Don't be afraid, don't hesitate - definitely give this a whirl. Like, now.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for stopping by. ^_^ xo
