(from www.annasui-cosmetics.com)Out in spring 2006, Face Color Accent was a new line of blushers for Anna Sui. As a lover for Anna Sui (and for blushers), I decided to check out the shades as soon as I had a chance.
Before testing them, I was more drawn toward lighter shades like #300. But, at the counter, I was recommended #400 as a naturally flattering shade. I was not convinced when I heard this, since it looked very bright and almost neon-ish. But I was pleasantly surprised when I tested it. I decided to go for this and it was definitely a good decision.

(The brush, which I don’t really use,is actually not too shabby.)
This is a cute bouncy bright matte pink that can create natural and beautiful rosy cheeks. It is slightly more pigmented than most of the other blushers I have. It can go on sheer and impart a light flush of color and it can be built into a more vibrant finish with little effort. The powder is solidly pressed so it is easy to control how much powder you want the brush to grab.
Overall I really like this. When applied lightly, it really matches and complements the natural flush of my cheeks. I also tend to like matte blushers, so this is something I constantly go back to!

I haven’t tried any Anna Sui products but I keep admiring how beaautiful they all look at Sephora … these matte blushers look so fabulous, I’ll check them out soon!
I’ve stuck with the same dull blush color for several years. You have convinced me to check into something a bit brighter. I’ll have to look into a new shade and Anna Sui products.
Hello Etirv,
Thank you for leaving a comment again!
Do test them out if you have a chance! I think the packaging is really beautiful and the shade I have performs very well on me. It will be interesting to see what you think. Let me know! :)
Hello Linda,
Do definitely give these a go and see what you think. I think for blushers, playing with different colors and textures is a lot of fun. They can really light up the whole face.
Also, I myself have found out that I can wear many different shades. I think you can too!
hie there,
i’m amused when u said this color is natural.. it looks so so reddish and bright.. can u test on and take a picture of the color?? i’m so curious to know how it looks like…
and does it match someone lightly tanned?
Hello Emily,
Thank you very much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.
The blusher does look very bright. But when it goes on, it is not too pink, not too peachy, and not too red. Imagine the healthy flush after some jogging and that is the kind of color you can get from this blusher.
I tend to only wear very natural blushers and this one has proven to be very wearable.
I think it would suit slightly tanned skin very well.
I do sincerely apologize, but I don’t really post swatches on my blog.
Thank you again for visiting my blog!
