Sleek Blush by 3 Palette – Lace Review

Hello Everyone,

I have this palette with since long but I realized that I haven’t yet posted its review on the blog. By now, all of you must have read enough about Sleek Blushes and their palettes but here are my 2 cents. So, today I have this pretty Blush Palette from Sleek, Sleek Blush by 3 in Lace.

Product Claims: The ultimate cheeky palette offering you three times the impact. Includes three complementary shades, each designed with its own distinctive finish, from rich shimmers to intense matte shades.

  • The versatile shimmer shades can be used to highlight areas of the face that naturally catch the light for a luminous finish.

Packaging:- The blush comes in a rectangular shaped slim, matte black case, regular Sleek packaging with a large rectangular mirror fixated on the inside of lid. The palette contains 3 blushes in equally sized rectangular pans separated with a thin partition. The sleek packaging fits in easily even in the fullest of my makeup bags, hence travel friendly.

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.

Cons of Sleek Blush By 3 Palette Lace:

  1. Powder is extremely soft so use gentle brush strokes
  2. Blending needs to done softly or it will look patchy

Recommendation: Sleek Blush By 3 Palette Lace is a beautiful blush palette with a lovely mix of pink and orange shades where all of them lie in the wearable spectrum. 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. The shades wore well on an average of 5-6 hours after which they starts fading evenly. Sleek Blush by 3 palettes is a great pick at the price and with the quality provided, you just need to learn to handle color payoff. Recommended!
