Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Exposed

Today I bring to you a review of an old favorite. I've had this blush in my collection for more than a year, and I must say, it remains a favorite.

Tarte's Amazonian Clay blushes has been receiving lots of love from bloggers. I have to agree with most of the positive reviews. The first blush I ever bought from this line was Exposed, which my mom kindly brought back from a trip at my request (thanks Mom!). It's a gorgeous neutral pink natural looking color.

As you can see, it's quite used.

The blush pan is magnetized and removable. This gives you the option to add this blush to your self-made palettes. I really like the packaging of this blush, so I haven't had the heart to remove it. I also love that the packaging matches the color of the blush - it makes it really easy to find in a sea of blushes.


It looks a bit mauve in my swatch, but really it's more of a dusty pink. It's similar to MAC's Tenderling, except the latter is much much sheerer than Exposed. I can wear this blush with pretty much any look it's so versatile. Plus, it's very long lasting - it performs better than my MAC blushes.

If you do not have a blush of this type of color, get this blush. You will not regret it, I guarantee you. It's formula, color and performance is way above what I've usually come to expect of blushes. So seriously, get Exposed if you're in the market for a dusty pink!

  1. This blush looks so beautiful! I actually don't own a blush in this type of shade so I'll be looking at getting this in the near future. I imagine it looks stunning with berry lips.

  2. I love this colour so much, but I don't use it as often as I should. During the winter, I get swayed by brighter colours (I'm looking at you, Tipsy), likely in an effort to bring the sun back to ultra-drab Toronto.

  4. I can't tell you how disappointed I am that these blushes contain lanolin as one of the primary ingredients (I'm allergic). I LOVE the shades and this one in particular, and it's actually a shade I don't have!! But, it's currently on my list of to-buy's to fill that gap in my blush 'wardrobe' (scary image)!

    1. Oh no! I can't imagine how hard it must be to be allergic to lanolin! It's in everything! Hahaha blush wardrobe is awesome!

  5. The colour looks very pretty on your complexion! It was a bit too muddy on me, I prefer my RBR Delicata for a 'nude' blush. I wish it would look just as nice as it does on you. beautiful.
