It was great that you documented the multiple applications with various tools. It shows how finicky some products can be and the great effort it can take to achieve the desired result. Thank you so much!
Not Fit For Print Beauty, was experimenting with these blushes on her channel. She was doing cream, powder, cream, with natural hair brushes. It was actually putting down less pigment than powder, cream combo. I already love these blushes, but I think I'm going to try that because I have very dry skin.
I think you need a bigger brush, darling! I use a soft, bigger brush (Rephr #5) for the powder and I have four of the old Elf blush brushes that are stipple ones and I use that with the cream. XOXO
I always gaslight myself into thinking that ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ when it comes to products that just won’t work right for me. If you don’t mind I will use this video as my reality check lol. I very much look forward to your update because perhaps there is truely a way for them to work and some people (not all) have quite good suggestions - we learn something new every day, just recently I found out that my Rom&nd lip tints are supposed to be applied in 2 coats (1st coat needs few seconds to set before applying the 2nd and lips can’t touch in the process) for the most juciest result that will last more than 10 min… I’ve had them for a year smh… Fingers crossed and Thanks for the video ❤
Oooh nice tip about the romand tints! I've been using them again recently and I think I was doing something similar on accident so they were staining well. But now that I know this I can do it on purpose haha 😂
About the romand tints, did anyone ever have some almost black (just very dark) ball of pigments on the lips as the time passes? I'm trying to understand whether these tints just don't work for me or did I just get bad ones lmao.
@@itsbritneybitch9871 this never happend to me while I was wearing it, it usually just disappears over time. But it might be your lips pilling or formula is for some reason coagulating right on your lips. That being said it only happend to me few times when I was removing my makeup with cotton pad and there was dead tinted skin left on it - but it happend only during the worst part of winter which is fair because tint itself is usually drying.
@@itsbritneybitch9871 it sounds like you might have dry skin on your lips. Dry skin absorbs more pigment especially with something like a lip stain. If you think this could be it then exfoliating your lips before applying a lip stain can really help!
I feel you...I'm light-skinned and I just returned my Patrick Ta (she's blushing) blush to Sephora today, and tried "just enough" blush instead. They both look awful! Too pigmented and too patchy for me. Wanted to love them so much but just didn't work out on my skin tone. I'll stick with Merit, Saie and Westman Atelier for creams and Hourglass for Powder. Thanks for sharing this video. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Cheers!
Hi! I have a similar complexion to you, and I love the Patrick Ta blush in Just Enough! I too found the pigment a little overwhelming on my fair skin when I first tried it, but I got it to work by using way less product than you think you need (maybe like half the amount of product) on a less dense brush. When you put the powder on first, remember that you want the lightest layer because you will be putting on more pigment in the cream. You can always add more pigment if you feel like you need it, but it’s hard to take away what you have already put down. Also, the powder can be a little patchy on its own, but putting the lightest layer of cream on top using a denser synthetic brush helps even it out while bringing back the skin-like glow. I hope these tips help, but not every product works for everyone!
My fave method for really pigmented products is get a bigger fluffier brush, grab a fair amount of product, then turn the brush handle down and tap the bottom against my hand. This makes the product settle into the brush hair instead of just staying on top. You don't get all of the pigment on your skin at the same time and it blends out better
You have naturally beautiful coloring & tone. You're quite striking. The intensity of these bolder ones competes from the focus. I love how authentic you are and not trying to put on a faux personality and voice. Really enjoy the refreshing change from that.
I tend to be heavy handed with my blush application and I LOVE Patric Ta’s blush duos lol I’m fair like you, I’m not trying to look like a clown lol I’ve adapted to this by going in with my foundation brush/sponge after I apply the powder blush to tone things down. Then I finish it with a light layer of the cream. The cream really is the star for me. It really melts everything together. I like that you dabbed the powder blush off on your hand first ❤
I find setting base at least lightly the stops the powders from sticking like that. Cuz when the base is too glowy its like a fly trap for the powders. Using a soft diffused brush and tapping it off (like distributing it more evenly onto the brush) on the back of my hand. And then tapping on the cream with fingers defs helps with giving a lighter layer. Although tbf you are defs on the fair side. Oop as im writing you tried everything i just said but maybe try a one tap into the pan but thats basically all i got. They might just not work for you at all. Do u think you could return them hopefully if they still dont work?
I only have one of these in the shade she’s blushing and I’m about as fair as you are. They’re definitely veryyy pigmented, I always use a big fluffy brush and the tiniest bit and that works for me. It’s still not my favorite though although those new shades are tempting
I was thinking of getting Just Enough because I bought the Dior Rosy Glow and it has hardly any pigmentation and I have to build it up to get any colour and I have fair skin. If this is TOO pigmented and hard to work with for fair skin I don't think I will try it after all. I would always use the cream first just because I usually like the way that creams blend on the cheek. The only other baby pink blush I have tried that is good is the Made By Mitchell Blursh in the shade Strawberry Cream. I did just get the Pat McGrath blush duo in Venusian Sunrise and that is lovely but not as light as I want
As a fellow fair skin sister... I get it! I came across a video from Alexandra Anele to sheer out blushes on fair skin and make them blend easily. She mixes cream blush with a drop of foundation and powder blush with either powder foundation (or a translucent powder) on her hand... then dips her brush and applies the mixture. The video is called "A Quick Lil Blush Tip 🙌🏻" if you want to check it out. I saved it because I intend to try it with an Hourglass Vanish and a Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Blush Wand. Wish there was more understanding about the way very fair skinned people struggle with foundations, blushes and highlighters being too dark. I finally found a foundation I love that's light enough and has a beautiful glow and that's Chanel N`1 BD01... it's even lighter than N10. Hope her trick helps you be able to wear these beautiful blushes. ❤ P.S. Thank you... I always search for fair skin videos to see what happens with blush on fair skin.
I never know if creators see comments posted on older contentment BUT try tapping your brush on the back of your hand BEFORE you hit your face 😅 I found it helps with very pigmented blushes ❤
When I first started wearing makeup, I LUSTED after these blushes! But then I realised I don't even like cream blushes so I wouldn't use half the product, and then the PRICE! I'm glad I skipped!
I think that Doll blush is just too cool & too bright for you. The peachy one (which is really coral) gave you a flushed pink look & it looked more harmonious with your warm neutral coloring.
As a very pale skin girlie I always tap my brush on my hand. It helps disperse the pigment evenly throughout the bristles and helps decrease the amount of pigment going onto the cheeks. Also for very pigments blushes I find a duo fiber brush works best.
I have 3 of Patrick Ta’s original blushes, the ones that were powder only. I love them. I love blush and they are the ones I always reach for. I am even paler than you, and they blend so well on my skin. I bought one of the powder/cream combos when they were released. I really don’t like it. Even the powder doesn’t seem like the same easy to blend formula as the original ones. I like cream blushes, but his cream blushes are definitely not among my favorites. I’ve tried cream over powder like he says, but I just prefer my other blushes to that one and don’t see myself purchasing more of his blushes. I’ll just keep using the original blushes until they run out (don’t see that happening) or they get so old they stop performing.
I was watching Rose makeup world and she was reviewing these same blushes and she said she did not have powder on before putting the powder blush and then the cream blush on after that. Idk why that matters. Maybe too much product underneath? I really love that not too much! Perfect!
It might be your face base makeup that makes the blush colour adhere more to your cheeks compared to your hand or a bare face. I am medium tan and I also find his blushes very high pigment. Have to tap off the excess and use a big fluffy brush. .. those two things combined and I'm good. I understand your frustration but that's my tip. It's not effortless but his blushes last a long time on your face.
I think that natural brushes are definitely the way to go with these. I use Rephr & have no issues & really love the Patrick Ta blushes, some of my favourite ever. #19 - powder #24 - creme
Honestly, the warmer tone blush is much more complementary for your coloring. I think the cool tone pinks may not feel right more because of the color and less because of the intensity. Just my opinion though.
I’m excited to try the Not Too Much blush on my medium complexion. It looks flattering on most skin tones I’ve seen so far. However, I would definitely use different brushes for powder and cream products. I’m surprised you didn’t try using a sponge for the cream portion.
These blushes are one of the best formulas on the market IMO and the colors are so unique. BUT I have medium skin (and use appropriate brush/technique) so I can't speak to the fair skin experience.
I’m so happy to see a review that echos my sentiments. I wanted to love these, but I got so frustrated with how fussy they are for their application. I am not a beginner make up user whatsoever, and I have a myriad of brush options and used the most airy natural hair brush possible and I still look like a clown. I got so frustrated that I returned She’s the Moment. The shade, Not Too Much, was the most promising to me, and in general, it’s just an another pink blush on me, a natural redhead.
You’re using the wrong brush for these blushes. For Patrick Ta blushes, you need a fluffy brush and a light hand then gradually build on it and blend. It will make a BIG difference
Never tried them. I got the ABH Stick Cream Blush on one of my Ipsy boxes. It worked for me and I am just sticking to them. Thank you for the video and honest review :)
Normally I don’t but I did for this video lightly with the Charlotte Tilbury setting powder. Maybe something a little heavier like the Huda powder would be a better base..
Using a fluffier brush will help, and it's usually becayse most of it is wiped off the brush before using. I've always wondered if it was worth purchasing these blushes. I still use the Tarte blush bazaar palette from years ago 😹😹
Everyone loves his blushes too but I just didn't understand the hype either. I returned mine but I was like maybe it was the color like you thought too. But now we'll see how you feel about these. Yea I won't be buying any colors. Thanks for the review
Patrick gets powder in the brush & then taps it onto his hand & says it’s important to distribute evenly in the brush. I have a similar natural complexion to you & I stay away from bright pink.
I love the cream from She’s So LA…the color is perfect but I hate the formula. It is always patchy & if I blend right then my cheeks just “eat” it through the day…doesn’t fade well. I’ve been in search of the color but no luck yet. I’m glad I’m not the only one struggling with this product
Girl you are not alone I can only get not too much blush work by damping my beauty blender and barely bouncing it into the cream blush and barely bouncing it on to my cheeks I'm annoyed also
I don't have these blushes, but I find almost all blushes are too pigmented for me. What you did at the end (coating a natural hair brush, tapping it on my hand) is most often what I do. If you're bound and determined to use these blushes, you might find success with the Blush and Polisher brush from MyKitCo. It's a very wispy, natural hair brush that won't pick up a ton of product but will still lay it down evenly. One of my favorites. A Rephr 19 might also work, if you have one. With both, you'd use a light sweeping back motion. If it were me, i probably would feel like that's too much work for a blush. But i also 100% get the feeling of "i want to love these as much as everyone else." Good luck with it!! 💚
I think you might have a very pale olive skin tone, so that blushes can easily look overpowering on you. Maybe more subtle colors like not too much or more sheer formula can be the best option for you.
Yeah I don't like these blushes they are SO pigmented! And while I have a fair skin tone mine is still deeper than yours. I have She's Blushing and I'm considering rehoming it. When I use both cream and powder together it looks a little insane. I always have to go over it with my foundation brush to cover it up. I don't find that it blends very well either because it's so pigmented (and I totally have the hang of using rare beauty blush...). I have used all kinds of techniques including various brushes, sponge, finger application, tapping it off in my hand before applying, making sure the brush is evenly saturated, holding my breath while picking up product 😂. Agree it isn't user friendly for fair skin! But I think outside of the fair realm it is probably really nice. Just doesn't work for me due to the nature of the product.
I did exactly the same as you lovely at first. Now I've even got she's so LA n made that work n I have light skin. Use fluffy brush like a Rephr 5 for the powder & a beauty blender for the cream - perfection 😊. If it still doesn't work I'll buy them off you lol 😂❤
Don't feel bad. They don't work for me either. A blender sponge works better for me for highly pigmented blushes (like the Rare Beauty liquid ones) but still...I have fallen in love with Chanel blushes recently, expensive, but flawless, they diffuse like magic, like Hourglass but blush style. You can't not make them look good 😇
You need to use a different brush. I’m very pale and I’m able to control the amount of powder and cream and build it slowly. I do like his double sided brush. I think it’s your brush.
Being as gentle as you can, try tapping your brush in 1 time only. NO more! Tap off the excess on your hand as much as possible (more than what I saw you do in your video). Apply to your cheek softly. Put down the brush with product on it. Now use a clean brush with no product to blend it out. If it’s still too much for you, go over it with the brush you used to apply your foundation. That little bit of foundation left on the brush will tone it down. Even when not working with a blush that has a lot of pigmentation, it’s a good idea to blend around the edges of your blush with your foundation brush to get a more seamless application with no patchiness or harsh lines. It sounds complicated but it’s not! Keep trying to figure out how to start with less blush on your brush. You can do it!!!!
These instructions sound truly ridiculous and I mean that in the best way. I appreciate your help but I don’t think any blush is worth that much headache when there’s blushes out there that are sooo easy. I did pick up the Patrick Ta blush brush to try out with his formula.
You really took one for the team, Amy! Lol We appreciate your dedication to makeup science.👏🏻👏🏻😂 ...These are such a big no for me. 🙅🏻♀️ I have no interest in finicky products, and the idea of wasting it by tapping most of it off the brush before going in makes my broke girl soul cry. 👎🏻💸
You aren't using an optimal brush for that powder. You know those brushes that look like big highlighter brushes? Like a broom but more...floppy lol. Similar to that Ariel brush that is all over tik tok. OR the flower beauty blush brush, I'd go with one of those.
I'm almost as fair as you are. I absolutely love She's Blushing, she's that girl, she's so la, and she's flushing. I think these bright pinks you picked out just aren't made for your skin tone. It's like buying a foundation a few shades too dark and expecting it to look good. That's just my personal opinion, but I hope you find a way to make them work for you!
@AmyLovesMakeup I'm not a cool pink lover, so I haven't tried either of those shades. It's definitely possible those 2 shades just have formula issues lol. I think the other 2 you tried on in the video look great on you though! I really want She's the moment in the next sephora sale. I hope it's in stock 🤞
While the most neutral blush harmonized best with your coloring, the pinks look more pigmented. To be fair, it could be the blue tones in the blush standing out more and highlighting the “problem” with the product to a greater degree. I don’t think you should have to fight with makeup; it ought to be fun and make you feel good. Either way, it’s the product and not you!
If you are fair to light skin you better use a fluffy brush like Ariel morphe blush brush then you will get enough use out of it ! smasbox have a brush like that Jaclyn hill brush Morphe is same a fluffy brush lol😅 but dens brushes is not the way to go with this blushes for fair skin .Patrick ta is pigmented 😅
I watched a kackie vid the other day & she called him Patchy Ta while using "not too much" & to me, he will forever be known as patchy ta. 😅 Also, thank you so much for the dedication in this video. I've come soo close to buying these blushes so many times but I'm the same shade as printer paper & my gut has always said don't do it. This vid just sealed it for me. If I ever pick any up, it'll be "not too much" 🫶
Maybe you should try a larger fluffy brush to diffuse it more
I’ve seen the pink put on with a real fluffy brush and come out real soft.
I am fair and use a very fluffy brush for the powder and a sponge for the cream and it works well.
It was great that you documented the multiple applications with various tools. It shows how finicky some products can be and the great effort it can take to achieve the desired result. Thank you so much!

sadly the blush i tried from patrick ta did not work out for me. i got hard pan, it was so thin but got patchy on the skin. very weird.

This is so validating! I have been able to make this work for my pale skin but it's do much more work for a result that's worse than other blushes
If you use a sponge with the cream over the powder it blends well.
That's what I do too. I never liked cream blush but I love these. I use an egg shaped sponge to apply the cream and then a brush for the powder.
I only have one of these in the shade she’s blushing and I’m about as fair as you are. They’re definitely veryyy pigmented, I always use a big fluffy brush and the tiniest bit and that works for me. It’s still not my favorite though although those new shades are tempting

Maybe use a sponge for the cream but only a touch

On the bright side I think he does have some mono powder blushes available. I would I could get just the creams 🤣
I think that Doll blush is just too cool & too bright for you. The peachy one (which is really coral) gave you a flushed pink look & it looked more harmonious with your warm neutral coloring.
As a very pale skin girlie I always tap my brush on my hand. It helps disperse the pigment evenly throughout the bristles and helps decrease the amount of pigment going onto the cheeks. Also for very pigments blushes I find a duo fiber brush works best.
With blushes, many folk like Nars; Juvia's Place; Milani and RMS Beauty.

Pick up on fluffy brush then push colour into brush on hand before applying to face very gently

I'm annoyed also
I agree, the light pink IS very deceivingly
I don't have these blushes, but I find almost all blushes are too pigmented for me. What you did at the end (coating a natural hair brush, tapping it on my hand) is most often what I do.
If you're bound and determined to use these blushes, you might find success with the Blush and Polisher brush from MyKitCo. It's a very wispy, natural hair brush that won't pick up a ton of product but will still lay it down evenly. One of my favorites. A Rephr 19 might also work, if you have one. With both, you'd use a light sweeping back motion.
If it were me, i probably would feel like that's too much work for a blush. But i also 100% get the feeling of "i want to love these as much as everyone else."
Good luck with it!! 💚
I think you might have a very pale olive skin tone, so that blushes can easily look overpowering on you. Maybe more subtle colors like not too much or more sheer formula can be the best option for you.
I hear ya on these blushes I'm up to 4 different shades. I still keep trying to make these work but I'm not impressed either! I officially give up.
This video was so helpful!
I'm so glad! I was debating on whether to upload it or not 😩
@@AmyLovesMakeup I was feeling so torn over not getting this and this has cemented that I made the right choice! I’m not a pigmented blush type of gal
I think setting your face would make a big difference. That's why it is sticking to your face so much more than your hand.
I did set my face
Maybe try a different powder. I find that the Charlotte Tilbury powder has almost a cream to powder feeling.
Yeah I don't like these blushes they are SO pigmented! And while I have a fair skin tone mine is still deeper than yours. I have She's Blushing and I'm considering rehoming it. When I use both cream and powder together it looks a little insane. I always have to go over it with my foundation brush to cover it up. I don't find that it blends very well either because it's so pigmented (and I totally have the hang of using rare beauty blush...).
I have used all kinds of techniques including various brushes, sponge, finger application, tapping it off in my hand before applying, making sure the brush is evenly saturated, holding my breath while picking up product 😂.
Agree it isn't user friendly for fair skin! But I think outside of the fair realm it is probably really nice. Just doesn't work for me due to the nature of the product.
I did exactly the same as you lovely at first. Now I've even got she's so LA n made that work n I have light skin. Use fluffy brush like a Rephr 5 for the powder & a beauty blender for the cream - perfection 😊. If it still doesn't work I'll buy them off you lol 😂❤
Don't feel bad. They don't work for me either. A blender sponge works better for me for highly pigmented blushes (like the Rare Beauty liquid ones) but still...I have fallen in love with Chanel blushes recently, expensive, but flawless, they diffuse like magic, like Hourglass but blush style. You can't not make them look good 😇
You need to use a different brush. I’m very pale and I’m able to control the amount of powder and cream and build it slowly. I do like his double sided brush. I think it’s your brush.
I honestly might pick up his brush since it was specifically made to go along with these
Your sweater and orangetone lipstick color clash with the pink. Also, use a fluffy brush!
Being as gentle as you can, try tapping your brush in 1 time only. NO more! Tap off the excess on your hand as much as possible (more than what I saw you do in your video). Apply to your cheek softly. Put down the brush with product on it. Now use a clean brush with no product to blend it out. If it’s still too much for you, go over it with the brush you used to apply your foundation. That little bit of foundation left on the brush will tone it down. Even when not working with a blush that has a lot of pigmentation, it’s a good idea to blend around the edges of your blush with your foundation brush to get a more seamless application with no patchiness or harsh lines. It sounds complicated but it’s not! Keep trying to figure out how to start with less blush on your brush. You can do it!!!!
These instructions sound truly ridiculous and I mean that in the best way. I appreciate your help but I don’t think any blush is worth that much headache when there’s blushes out there that are sooo easy. I did pick up the Patrick Ta blush brush to try out with his formula.
Tap the brush off on your hand multiple times to get the extra off. Don't just go straight into application.
You really took one for the team, Amy! Lol We appreciate your dedication to makeup science.👏🏻👏🏻😂 ...These are such a big no for me. 🙅🏻♀️ I have no interest in finicky products, and the idea of wasting it by tapping most of it off the brush before going in makes my broke girl soul cry. 👎🏻💸
I get the same results 😢
What brand are the natural hair brushes?
What’s up beauty
You aren't using an optimal brush for that powder. You know those brushes that look like big highlighter brushes? Like a broom but more...floppy lol. Similar to that Ariel brush that is all over tik tok. OR the flower beauty blush brush, I'd go with one of those.
I’ll check them out!
I don’t like blush THAT much. I like just a touch of colour, all over.
I'm almost as fair as you are. I absolutely love She's Blushing, she's that girl, she's so la, and she's flushing. I think these bright pinks you picked out just aren't made for your skin tone. It's like buying a foundation a few shades too dark and expecting it to look good. That's just my personal opinion, but I hope you find a way to make them work for you!
I would agree with you for she’s a doll but just enough is literally a baby pink 😩
@AmyLovesMakeup I'm not a cool pink lover, so I haven't tried either of those shades. It's definitely possible those 2 shades just have formula issues lol. I think the other 2 you tried on in the video look great on you though! I really want She's the moment in the next sephora sale. I hope it's in stock 🤞
While the most neutral blush harmonized best with your coloring, the pinks look more pigmented. To be fair, it could be the blue tones in the blush standing out more and highlighting the “problem” with the product to a greater degree. I don’t think you should have to fight with makeup; it ought to be fun and make you feel good. Either way, it’s the product and not you!
❤❤
If you are fair to light skin you better use a fluffy brush like Ariel morphe blush brush then you will get enough use out of it ! smasbox have a brush like that Jaclyn hill brush Morphe is same a fluffy brush lol😅 but dens brushes is not the way to go with this blushes for fair skin .Patrick ta is pigmented 😅
❤❤❤
I am just as pale as you are and have not had success with Patrick Taylor blushes. They are just too much for me.
👍🏻
I don’t think pink blush is your color. Not too much looked great on you.
Your problem is its too pigmented..omg! Come on!
They look terrible… seems there are so many much better blushes out there
Use less..😮
I literally could not have used less if I tried are you joking?
I watched a kackie vid the other day & she called him Patchy Ta while using "not too much" & to me, he will forever be known as patchy ta. 😅 Also, thank you so much for the dedication in this video. I've come soo close to buying these blushes so many times but I'm the same shade as printer paper & my gut has always said don't do it. This vid just sealed it for me. If I ever pick any up, it'll be "not too much" 🫶
Haha Kackie is too funny
