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.
Bittersweet
bright purple (can I get a hell yeah?). this is such a pretty purple matte with slight pink undertone, left a slight pink stain
Kinky
light peach with light shimmer. to me this is a peach with brown undertones and a slight sheen. It really makes you look gorgeous.
Obsessed
light pink, so pretty and delicate
Quickie
bright blue-toned pink, love this! it left a slight stain
Score
medium pinky-peach with a hint of shimmer. This is the PERFECT shade of peachy pink with a slight sheen. I love it.
Indecent
light peachy nude. This is a light peach with orange undertones.
Crush
medium pink – to me this is a warm pink. It left a slight pink stain.
Video
soft nude. This is a nude brown with peach undertones.
Fetish
medium pink-nude. This is a soft pink with nude tones.
Rapture
deep mauve with a hint of shimmer. This is more like a midtone mauvey nude with a slight sheen.
Bang
bright red-orange. This is a jaw dropping bright orange with red undertones. It left a slight orange stain.
Quiver
medium red. This is a red that leaned slightly pink on me and it left a slight pink stain.
Row 1 Crush – Quickie – Obsessed – Bittersweet
Row 2 Video – Indecent – Kinky – Score
Row 1 – Quiver – Bang – Fetish – Rapture
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.
Which Urban Decay Afterglow Powder Blushes are your must haves? Let me know!
Have you tried the Afterglow highlighters? What do you think of those? Would any work for pale skin?
Yes I love Aura! See me wearing it here https://phyrra.net/2016/03/spring-makeup-inspiration.html
and here https://phyrra.net/2016/03/urban-decay-summer-2016.html
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.
I love the Score medium pinky-peach shade with the hint of shimmer!
i have the urge to own bittersweet now…this may be a problem
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
Would score compare to Aura?
Aura by?
Urban decay, you know from the naked series.
Aura Illuminator is way lighter / more sparkly than Score blush. You can see it here https://phyrra.net/2014/09/urban-decay-naked-illuminated-shimmering-powder-aura.html
I feel like Score is more refined and a deeper peachy pink
Yes I have it, I was just asking if there would be. pigmentation difference. 🙂
Yes, with Score you’ll see more pigmentation and a sort of sheen, whereas Aura is more sparkly and much much lighter
How do you think Kinky and Indecent compare to Wish by Kat von D? I need a replacement since she discontinued the shade.
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.
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!
No problem 🙂
well I’m definitely going to need all of these = Kinky is at the top!
Amazing shades! I like Bittersweet, Score, Rapture and Fetish. Love your earrings too!
Bittersweet, Score, Quickie and Rapture are my favorites.
Oh wow, they’re gorgeous! Kinky, Quickie, Fetish, and Rapture all look like colors I would love.
omg these are so amazing! I definitely need every single one
I want Bittersweet SO bad! It reminds me of Vintage Grape!! <3
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!
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.
I absolutely love Obsessed! It reminds me of a slightly softer version of NARS Gaiety!
I can definitely see the similarity 🙂
I thin Kinky is just about my color!
It would be great on you!
I definitely need some of the blushes!
Yes yes yes!
I may have to pick up 2 or 3 blushes, these are so irresistibly gorgeous
I would love to see you in Bittersweet
My wallet weeps at the beauty of all of these new UD releases LoL
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?
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!
Agreed! Yay so happy to hear it 🙂
I like Kinky, Score, Video and Fetish. You’ve paired them all beautifully with the glosses!
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.
