@ChickenGurlie Eh, the difference is more about pigmentation. Example: each blush in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Collection is a marble of pigmented blush powder and finishing powder. The finishing powders are mixed in to create a soft-glow lighting effect. They’re beautiful blushes, as long as the one you get has enough pigmented marbling. Otherwise you’ll end up with a “blush” that’s really more of an Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Finishing Powder : so much finishing powder, the blush will barely (if at all) show up on your skin because there’s not enough pigmented powder swirled in.
The Kosas blushes always look like they’re heavily marbled enough for this to not be a problem, thank goodness. But it’s still something to keep in mind. The Violette_Fr blush sticks are marbled, and both of mine are well marbled. As a visual example though, here’s my swatch of the VIOLETTE_FR BISOU BLUSH Marbled Cream Blush Stick Marnie I bought during this spring sale:
If this blush stick had more of that lighter beige color than the deeper brown color, then I’d have to exchange it for another one with better marbling. Luckily, it’s good as-is.
