This gorgeous palette features three of Laura’s best Italian-made Baked blushes, including a fresh back-from-the vault shade that’s better than ever before. Use an individual color for a brightening flush or blend two (or more!) for a new custom finish.

The Laura Geller Cheek to Chic Tropical Glow is a face palette with two blushes, two highlighters, and two bronzers that give a luminous, sun-kissed glow to your makeup look. What I love about this palette is that you get a lot of product at 1.5g for each of the 6 pans. The color story is quite beautiful, but I’m not sure ALL the colors would suit all skin shades. For example, Tahitian Glow and Honey Dipped are beautiful, but may not be dark enough for deeper skin types.&nbsp;I also wish that Honeysuckle was more pink/red/orange so that it served more as a blush and not a bronzer.Honey Dipped is my favorite shade out of this palette. It’s SO multipurpose, as it can serve as a highlighter or go on the eyelids, lips, and cheeks. It’s warm and glowy, and I absolutely love it.&nbsp;Tropic Hues is a flushed baby pink color that sets amazingly on top of a cream blush. I love this color and feel that it serves beautifully on the eyelids or the cheeks.&nbsp;Honeysuckle is a “blush” but is more brown than pink. It’s still beautiful, but felt that the palette has 3 bronzers and only 1 blush because this color didn’t give the blush color I thought it would.French Vanilla is supposed to serve as a highlighter but performs more like a very shimmery and pigmented white shadow. French Vanilla is a great shade for packing on top of a cut crease or maybe using on your nose for highlighting, but it’s more white than shimmery like other highlighters so be light with it.&nbsp;Tahitian Glow is more cool than Honey Dipped, but still very luminous and bronzing. I haven’t used this as much, but when I run out of Honey Dipped, I will.Dulce De Leche is stunning!

For baked blushes, these things pack a punch! I was introduced to baked blushes waaaayy back in the day by Laura Geller in a holiday gift set. It's been a really long time since I've touched this formula, and I'm so happy to see that I was just as blown away as I was the first time.While I don't feel that this palette would work for everybody, it is quite versatile and could work in a multitude of ways for a decent range of skin tones. I really love the colors for myself, but if I'm being honest, I think face palettes with this many shades are hard to create in a way that's useful to EVERYBODY, and that does unfortunately affect my opinion of the product. Unless you're a makeup artist or someone who can truly make use of all of the colors, I probably wouldn't recommend buying this palette. BUT, as I mentioned before, this is a stellar baked formula, and would highly recommend picking them up individually, or by creating your own face kit (which can be done on the website.)

In my 23 years of being a Makeup Artist, I have found that baked cosmetics tend to be more flattering on mature skin. They leave a more smooth finish and don’t settle into fine lines as traditional cosmetic options can. This is exactly why I’m glad to have come across the Laura Geller Cheek to Chic Tropical Glow Baked Face Palette.This palette comes with 2 highlighters, 2 blushes and 2 bronzers. This ensures you will have a variety of achievable looks and combos perfect for light to medium skin tones. The formulation is light and sheer but it is also quite buildable so you can customize how much or how little pigment you desire to see. I also really like the size of the provided mirror as it helps make application on the go a breeze.Pro tip: Use on eyelids and even lips for a beautifully toned monochromatic look!
