About Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Blush – $26 for .23 oz
Urban Decay introduces Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Blush—the foolproof way to create that effortless, radiant look. Just a few quick swipes of Afterglow gives you the kind of easy, sexy, lit-from-within glow that makes people wonder if you spent the whole weekend in a secret love den. The best part? Much like the lingering effects of a romantic rendezvous, Afterglow won’t quit. Our extremely blendable, finely milled formula goes on sheer and provides eight long hours of wearable, buildable color. And wait until you feel it! Lightweight yet luxurious, Afterglow has a soft, creamy texture that always applies beautifully. The lineup: a dozen scintillating shades…some with a matte finish, and others with a hint of shimmer.  This is blush the UD way: wearable color that really lasts—in everything from neutrals to brights.

My favorites are Bittersweet, Kinky, Score, Bang, Obsessed, and Quickie.

I think that these are an excellent value for the price! They’re $26 for .23 oz. By comparison NARS is $30 for .16 oz.

The pigmentation is awesome. The shade range is excellent. I think no matter your skintone there’s at least 2 or 3 colors you will love.

I’ve got a love hate thing with the packaging. It’s the perfect size and I like the color coded label that lets you know what color you’ve picked up, but I hate the finger prints that show all over the packaging.

  1. Have you tried the Afterglow highlighters? What do you think of those? Would any work for pale skin?

  2. I really want video in my life… not sure if I need it in my life since I really don’t like blushes but I do like that one.

  3. Yay! I was just looking on the UD website, saw these and fell in love. I went to your channel first for an honest review and Bam! Right there. Yay! Thank you! There’s actually 3 that I could not decide between. (I need another blush like a centipede needs another leg. LOL.) But they’re all so gorgeous and pigmented and HUGE! I want: Crush – Quickie – Obsessed. With my fair skin like yours, thankfully, I’ll know exactly how they’ll look. Unfortunately, now I still want all 3 because they all look fantastic on you. Idk if I have enough “oomph” to pull off Bittersweet, even though I can absolutely appreciate its beauty. (The metal packaging & fingerprints drives me crazy, too!)

    I was really hoping to see you without your glasses, hon. I’m sorry that your eyes are still so sensitive. I’m sure after you’re back to 100%, it’ll be worth it. It’s just taking longer than you’d expected, huh? So sorry!! Healing energy and good vibes are being sent your way. Hey…you look FABULOUS in your awesome sunnies, though!! <3

          1. Yes I have it, I was just asking if there would be. pigmentation difference. 🙂

            1. Yes, with Score you’ll see more pigmentation and a sort of sheen, whereas Aura is more sparkly and much much lighter

  4. How do you think Kinky and Indecent compare to Wish by Kat von D? I need a replacement since she discontinued the shade.

    1. I own Wish and I’ll try to swatch them all side by side. I would definitely use Kinky and Wish interchangeably. Like, If I wanted a peachy / nude type blush, Kinky or Wish would be perfect. Indecent is lighter, in my opinion.

      1. Oh I know you have Wish! I stopped by your post for that blush earlier today to compare the blushes on my monitor. But pictures and monitor colors are deceiving, so I came back to this post to ask your personal opinion. Thanks for the quick response!

  5. Amazing shades! I like Bittersweet, Score, Rapture and Fetish. Love your earrings too!

  6. Oh wow, they’re gorgeous! Kinky, Quickie, Fetish, and Rapture all look like colors I would love.

  7. Bittersweet!! I’m also strangely drawn to Rapture even though it’s not a colour I’d normally go for. Thank you for doing hand swatches and proper application for each one!

    1. No problem! I ended up with only 2 zits from doing all 12 blushes (one on each cheek) which isn’t bad at all! I used coconut oil in between to remove the blushes and moisturize my face. So I’m definitely likely to try doing it this way again.

  8. I absolutely love Obsessed! It reminds me of a slightly softer version of NARS Gaiety!

    1. Let me just say that I am so happy that the entire Summer collection is so high quality. UD doesn’t churn out 1 collection a month, and I’m so glad they don’t! When they release like this, I’m blown away. It makes it so easy to love the brand. What shades are you loving?

      1. I agree with you! And none of the limited edition hijinks *some* brands enjoy so much, they really show a respect and appreciation for their consumers that does indeed make them very easy to love. I think I’ll start with Bittersweet, Rapture, and Kinky!

    1. Yay! Kinky and Score are 2 favs of mine. I’m not sure how I feel about Video and Fetish on me. I think Score is one of those universally flattering shades.
