Tips:
It may be a rose based but it really looks natural brown in color when worn. If you want a look that looks natural like you don't wear any make-up at all, I suggest you try this blush on. But make sure to also bring this on your travel for touch ups. It does not last long.

If you are using a facial powder, powder blushes is the perfect combination.
