My experience with Sleek Blush By 3 Palette Lace:-

The palette includes 3 shades of blushes with two of them being matte and one in a shimmery rose gold finish.

1. Crochet: It is a bright matte Orange shade with subtle peachy tones
2. Guipure : Peachy pink shade with oodles of golden shimmers and can be termed as a Rose Gold shade. Shimmers are fine and doesn’t feel chunky but they can settle in pores, making them appear larger
3. Chantilly: A medium coral-orange shade with muted pink tones 

Texture: Blushes has a buttery smooth texture with matte shades being a bit powdery owing to their ultra softness and finely milled formula. Guipure is rather creamy smooth, a little stiff compared to other two but its easy to use and provides controlled application.

Pigmentation: All of the shades are extremely pigmented and one has to be careful while picking up powder from the pan.  It will be difficult to tone down the shade as it will turn patchy, so best is to dab the brush lightly over the pan, tap off excess before application and build up the color as per required intensity

Staying Power: The blushes have pretty good staying power as they easily lasts for around 4-5 hours (on my dry skin) without any base which can be further enhanced to 6-7 hours when used over a base. The color fades slightly towards the end but it fades out evenly so it doesn’t look bad.

Tips to Use: Addition of this shimmery shade adds so much versatility to the palette. I love to layer up matte blushes with this shimmery gold blush and achieve that glistening cheeky look.

The formula is smooth, blendable and rich in pigmentation which makes it a slightly difficult to handle. so, pick color with soft hands and build up to the desired intensity.
