Urban Decay Rapture Afterglow Blush Review Swatches Photos

I thought let’s give you a break from NARS blushes and share my new obsession – Urban Decay Afterglow blushes which are so, so, so stunning! Brand released a set of blushes around April last year and I picked 2 shades which were quite different and here is my most favourite shade – Urban Decay Rapture.

Urban Decay Rapture Afterglow Blush Review

Shade – URBAN DECAY Rapture Afterglow blush is described as Deep Mauve with hint of shimmer, on my NC 37 skin tone, it is very soft and muted shade of mauve, and plumy pink with super fine golden sheen to it, the sheen adds that glow without making it look frosty at any point of time. I find that this shade will look flattering on all skin tones as it is very easy to wear kinds plus that glow is phenomenal .

Texture – The texture of RAPTURE is very fine, creamy and light weight; it can be picked very easily by a blush brush and blended to perfection due to finally milled texture. As there is some sort of sheerness to it you don’t need a fan brush which I always recommend for NARS blushes, these are so easy to use and you can actually go with heavy hand.

Pigmentation – Urban Decay Rapture blush packs a good amount of colour in single swipe however is easy to build and blend due to creamy texture, I find the sheerness in texture makes it a foolproof blush and you can go heavy on hand and can still manage to look good with this blush.

Staying Power – The blush stays good for 7 – 8 hrs on my oily skin but with good base underneath and that’s a fantastic thing for a blush like this which has fine shimmer in it. The blush doesn’t fade unevenly and leave that soft pink shade.

Overall Thoughts

I can’t express how much I love this blush , Urban Decay Rapture is sheer gorgeousness and especially on someone between NC 35 – 45 , it will look even more flattering . I highly recommend you Urban Decay Afterglow blush in shade RAPTURE if you are looking for something sheer and still pack a punch plus give that glow.

Ratings – 5/5
