These blushes are NOT matte. These casts a nice sheen on my cheeks, along with a light wash of colour. As the name suggest "PEARL", it gives a pearly finish on cheek. Therefore its perfect for day time as well as night time. Makes a good highlighter as well. It looks like a baked powder blush. Very soft and creamy texture Easy to blend The bright shades looks very bright in the boxes but it gives a nice wash of the color along with it Gorgeous shades and finish Easily available locally (Watsons, Guardian,etc...) Cheap :) hehehe
