For
the longest time, I ignored my powder blushes. When I was in college (well
technically, I still am), they seemed a bit much: washing the brushes every
week, making sure that they blush is applied exactly at the right spot,
blending it out so that it would look natural etc. is too much work for someone
who wakes up three-fourths of an hour before class starts. I relied on the liquid-mousse blushes from Rimmel, so convenient for all those times I didn’t have the time. Now that I’ve
begun work (technically, its an internship) I tend to take it more seriously
than I did college and actually wakeup couple of hours before I have to leave.
Since I’m not bound by any household duties, I can spend all time I want on
prepping myself up, and that’s why I pulled out a much neglected and lovely blush from the Inglot Freedom System : AMC #58.

My take on Inglot Blush Refill AMC #58
Color: 58 is a warm toned everyday pink on my cheeks. In
the pan it looks like a dusky pink meets mauve color and when photographed, it
looks reddish. But the swatches are true to what it appears on me. It will suit all skin tones, I feel it will appear brighter on fairer skin tones and more mauve on deeper skin tones. It does brighten up the face a little bit. I
have included pictures of how it looks indoors and how it looks in daylight
because my camera wasn’t picking up the color properly :( It’s a great color to
wear to work, or even to college if you want. Its one of those colors that you
can put anytime you’re confused about what color to wear with a smokey eye look
or when you just want a little color to your face.
Pigmentation: It’s a very pigmented color, that’s
another reason why recommend the dab-and-pat technique. That way the color
blends into the skin effortlessly. If you're used to swiping your blush on, you will
end up with a lot of color on your cheeks. But it is easy to blend away excess
color.
Wear time: On my best day, aka, the day I just lie
around at home and do nothing, it lasts 6 hours after which there is a faint
hint left. However, when I travel and go to work etc. it doesn’t stay that long.
I think it stays for 5-6 hours after which there's a hint of it left, this is disappointing considering it is from the Advanced Makeup Component (AMC)
range.

Overall Verdict: 4/5
I
love the color, smoothness and pigmentation of the Inglot AMC Blush #58. It also blends effortlessly. On the downside,
it is very powdery so I have to be careful while putting it on or a lot of it
gets wasted. It also has an average wear time for its price. If you like the color,
you should definitely go for it, you won’t be disappointed by the quality of
the product! It is a shade that will suit all skin tones.
PS: Did you notice AMC is also an anagram
for MAC ?…hehehe
