During Jouer's recent sale, I purchased a new shade of
Tint: Honeysuckle ($20). How could I not with the name Honeysuckle? No matter that I've never seen honeysuckle in this sheer peach shade. I love the name because I love the sweetly fragranced plant.
Honeysuckle is definitely trendy for the spring/summer season. Peach is so "in." This peach is about as pure as it gets - pastel and pretty.
As named, it is a tint - for cheeks or lips. Had I applied it for a swatch photo by blending it with my skin, the photo would have have shown little of its native color - just a pretty peach glow. So, I applied it to my arm with my fingertip and did not blend it at all. It may look a little gloppy on my arm, but I assure you it blends easily and beautifully to become an extension of you, ready for summer. I took my swatch photos in full sun.
This peach is warm. I don't see a hint of pink in it. My cheeks and lips add a touch of peach, making the shade lovely on my skin. When your clothing calls for peach or coral (purple, for example), it's perfect. A very long time ago, I discussed with a makeup artist how bad pink or rose lip and cheek colors can look with rich purple, the color I was wearing that day. Although I knew that intuitively, I had never heard an artist express the need for brown or peachy shades to complement the deep amethyst tone.
This cream is very creamy, yet it sets perfectly to last on my cheeks all day. In the short time I've had it, I've grown fond of it and hope to purchase another of the 10 shades available. At times like this, I really wish Jouer had a physical presence in the DC area. I can imagine having a blast at the counter.
