Me-Talk: 

I was looking for a blush that will just impart some color to my cheeks-not something that will make me look Chili-Faced. So I opted for Night Sheen-as one of the other two colors was way too shimmery and the another one was too pink to fit my bills. Night sheen is a close to an orange blush-with copper and gold sheen to it. Its not shimmery. If used sparingly-it just imparts what I want-subtle color to me cheeks-I especially like it because this color aptly suits my warm skin tone and looks very natural. Another feature I like about this blush is that the color is very buildable. With a soft blush brush-you can pile up the intensity or tune the color as you like. The texture is very fine-and no gritty shimmer is observed. Because of this-this blush blends beautifully. The pigmentation is not very good-which again I will rate as a positive feature-since this prevents going overboard with color! Overall, I guess my first tryst with a  baked blush is really good-although I didn’t buy it from high end brands. Overall-the Lakme Absolute Cheek Chromatic Baked Blush is the most pocket friendly and pretty good quality baked blush in town now. Grab-able? Yes!! /blush

Pro-Side:

1) The color Night Sheen would be a versatile blush for girls with warm skin tones-during the day-this will impart a soft color. For nights-the finish can be built up to that of a bronzer.

2)The texture is fine. This makes it buildable and blendable.

3) Has no shimmer-so comfortably day wearable. The hint of sheen will not look OTT-but will add that extra punch to the –err-not face /wahaha but overall look 

4) At 550 bucks-this has lesser price than any other baked blush available

5) No break outs observed after applying

Downside:

1)I wish there were more variants in shade available

2) There is a lot of fall out when the brush is swiped over the blush  /no
