As you might know, my big weakness is blush. If you make it bright and it goes on my cheeks (the ones on my face mind you), I'll probably be making a beeline for the blush. So it comes as no surprise that I absolutely adore Bobbi Brown's semi-new pot rouge in Raspberry.
This is a gorgeous, wearable deep raspberry colour with blue undertones. The texture feels creamier than the other pot rouges, but that might just be my imagination. I find that the texture of Bobbi's pot rouges are different than my other cream blushes as I find the consistency thicker somehow. A really good tip for applying pot rouges or cream blushes in general is to dot it on to the apple of your cheeks and buff it in with a brush like the MAC 109. This gives me an amazing, lit from within, natural glow.
As for how the colour suits desi skintones, I adore how it brightens up my eyes and chases away any tiredness or sallowness that I have. It has the right amount of deepness in colour as brightness to suit a wide range of desi skintones. I think fair and darker skintones could pull this off with ease, although I love it particularly for darker skintones.
Another good thing about this blush is its versatility. On the lips, it isn't a bright barbie pink (which pink raspberry is on me, hence I usually usethat one solely as blush) and is deep enough in colour to not look like a neon lipstick version of raspberry. I do find it fairly drying so I like to moisten my lips with lip balm first.

Hi anu,
10:31 AMquestion! I have a daker desi skintone. For my lips, should I use Rasberry or pink rasberry?
And for my cheeks which one would suit me better?
thanks!
for lips, i definitely recommend raspberry. the pink raspberry looks a bit bright neon on the lips if i'm not careful. as for cheeks, i love using both. i am an n45 and i think the raspberry would look gorgeous on the cheeks. you could try the pink rapsberry but i don't think it is as versatile for darker skintones.

Hi Anu,
1:02 PMThanks! That’s helpful feedback!
Just one more thing…I have a few scars from teenage acne on my cheeks. Do you think it’s advisable to wear blush at all? I am kind of paranoid that the blush only brings focus onto my scars rather than giving me a warm glow….
i was quite curious about these lovely bb colors. WHenever you do an installment of blushes next time, can you please include this one? And also, I really suck at apply cream blush. I tried to do it like in your tutorial but my brush was really stiff? i used the same one you did but i just cant gte it. ilove the way the technique made it show up tho
6:55 PM!
good job anu
keep up the good work
oh khamila, this one is beatiful! it's great for darker skintones and it makes an amazing lippie too. i have another tutorial for blush (which is easier than with the foundation brush) and i will post that soon.
