P.S. What do you think about these swatch stencils I purchased from Etsy? This is my first time using a stencil for swatches.
Application & Wear-Time
- Application: First, grab a large fluffy brush to apply the COVER FX Monochromatic Blush Duos. Then, start with a light hand and slowly build up the color on the cheeks.
- Wear-Time: The COVER FX Monochromatic Blush Duos lasted 12+ hours on my oily skin when worn over a primer. I experienced no fading or smudging throughout the day.
Where are the COVER FX Monochromatic Blush Duos sold?
- International: COVER FX, Beautylish
- US/UK: Beauty Bay, Sephora (US only), Ulta (US only)
Are the COVER FX Monochromatic Blush Duos Worth the Hype?
YES! If you couldn’t tell by the fact that I own nearly every shade of the Cover FX Monochromatic Blush Duos, I am a huge fan of the formula. I LOVE that these blush duos are certified clean and are Talc-Free.
Although the pigmented formula immediately impressed me, I had a bit of a learning curve when first using these blushes. As someone with fair skin, I quickly realized I needed to use a large fluffy brush and a light hand to apply these COVER FX Blushes more naturally.
Each blush duo blends with ease and plays well with other powder and cream products. Whether I wear the matte side, shimmer side, or a mix of both, my cheeks have a radiant flush. Most importantly, the shimmery side does not enhance my texture or the appearance of pores nor does it make my oily-skin look greasy.
Do I think you need all of the Monochromatic Blush Duos? No. I suggest waiting to purchase one or two of the COVER FX Monochromatic Blush Duos when they are on sale.
P.S. It isn’t just me loving these blushes – the COVER FX Monochromatic Blush Duos are constantly out of stock at Sephora!

March 5, 2020 at 9:57 pmThese are such beautiful blushes – I have mixed feelings on the stencil though…. because some of the flowers technically broke on (which is why some of the flowers look different).

March 3, 2020 at 6:44 amThanks for reviewing these! I will defo be looking at purchasing I’ve been looking for a new blush and these look beautiful 😍
The Newbury Girl says
March 5, 2020 at 9:58 pmThese are literally my favorite blushes right now – so flattering. They’re easy to apply and they’re talc free!! Plus, if you’re willing to wait you can get these at a super great discount!

March 3, 2020 at 1:30 pmI am a blush FIEND and have always admired these blushes from afar. There are only two things stopping me from getting one of these is the fact I have enough blushes to last me a lifetime and also the fact that they’re pretty expensive. However they are GORGEOUS looking products! I’m glad you love them!

March 5, 2020 at 10:05 pmThese truly are beautiful blushes. They are expensive, but I will say that I only paid for one of these blushes at full price (soft peach)…and only because Sephora accidentally sent me the wrong product and Soft Peach was out of stock at Sephora when I tried to repurchase it at the 20% off discount.

March 3, 2020 at 4:49 pmI haven’t seen these! I’m not sure if we have them in the UK yet but they look amazing and I’m a fan of Cover FX usually anyway. I’ll have to look out for them because soft peach is calling my name x

March 5, 2020 at 10:08 pmThese are available through Beauty Bay in the UK. Cover FX is a Clean Beauty brand that is talc-free, gluten-free, paraben-free, Cruelty Free and 100% Vegan so you may enjoy their brand/what they stand for!

March 5, 2020 at 10:09 pmAw thank you so much for these kind words. I really love experimenting with different flat lays, so these were a lot of fun to shoot. This was my first time trying swatch stencils, but so far people seem to be liking these so I’ll be sure to try more of these in the future!!

March 4, 2020 at 12:45 pmThese are stunning! I love that they’re a cleaner formula too, that’s so big of Cover FX. I’m going to swatch these next time I’m at Sephora and get me a couple!
The Newbury Girl says
March 5, 2020 at 10:11 pmI really, really like everything that the brand stands for!! Cover FX releases really well made products and doesn’t rush to just push out release after release!

March 4, 2020 at 2:25 pmI love the swatch stencil, the flowers are so cute! I have one of them in my “still need to take pictures” box so I’m not allowed to use it just yet lol BUT I literally can’t wait!!
The Newbury Girl says
March 5, 2020 at 10:18 pmI still have mixed feelings on these stickers since they broke, but people don’t seem to mind… so I feel less reluctant towards them lol! I just need to remember to use these/the rest of my stencils more regularly.

March 5, 2020 at 2:36 pmThese blushers look unreal! I’ve recently got back into blushers, so I’d love to try these ones out. The Pink Dahlia one is definitely my favourite out of the swatches, I bet it’s so flattering. Also, I totally love the swatch stencils, they’re gorgeous! Great move
The Newbury Girl says
March 5, 2020 at 10:36 pmAh thank you – I’ll have to try more stencils like this in the future. Beauty Bay sells these blushes so hopefully they’ll be included in a sale soon!!

The Newbury Girl says
March 12, 2020 at 7:53 pmThese are serious stunners – plus the brand is Vegan and Cruelty Free!! Idk if you ever buy from Ulta (or if you can in Canada), BUT they’re going to be on sale during Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty!
PoojaG says
