Fenty Beauty Suede Blushes Review & Swatches

Today, I’m diving into Fenty Beauty’s latest release: the Cheeks Worth Clapping For blushes. With eight shades to choose from—four matte and four shimmer—these blushes promise bold, high-impact color and a smooth, blendable formula. They even claim to be waterproof, which has me intrigued! Let’s put them to the test and see if they live up to the hype, and how they look on pale skin. Check out my full Youtube review here, or keep scrolling for my text review!

Product Overview

Fenty’s Cheeks Worth Clapping For blushes are designed for all skin types, featuring a soft, airy texture that promises a seamless finish. The packaging is uniquely slanted, making it easy to grip while applying. Alongside the blushes, Fenty has released a new angled brush, the 155 blush brush, which is perfect for applying both matte and shimmer shades.

The Shades

Let’s take a closer look at the shades:

Matte Shades:

1. Petal Poppin’ O2: A silky coral pink that blends beautifully on the skin.
2. Summertime Wine 04: A stunning deep berry that’s perfect for medium to deep skin tones.

Shimmer Shades:

1. Wattabrat 08: A baby pink with cool-toned silver shimmer, ideal for fair skin.
2. Drama Class 12: A unique purple with a bluish shimmer that adds a striking pop of color.

Application and Performance

Starting with the matte shades, I applied Petal Poppin’ O2 using the 155 blush brush. The formula is incredibly pigmented, yet buildable, which I appreciate. For fair skin, this shade offers a soft wash of color that isn’t overwhelming. The texture feels smooth, almost like silk, which is a delightful surprise for a matte blush.

Next, I tried Summertime Wine. Initially, I was cautious with this deep berry shade, but it applied beautifully, giving me that perfect summer flush. The cool undertones make it surprisingly wearable, even for lighter skin.

Moving on to the shimmer shades, I couldn’t wait to try Whatabrat. This baby pink with silver shimmer is stunning! It glides on effortlessly and doesn’t accentuate texture, which is often a concern with shimmer products. I love that cool-toned blushes are trending, and this one is a must-have for anyone with fair skin.

Lastly, I tried Drama Class. This vibrant purple blush is bold and unique. It applies smoothly over wet foundation, giving a luminous finish that is eye-catching without being overwhelming. Just remember, this shade is for those who love a statement blush!

Waterproof Test

Fenty claims these blushes are waterproof, so I conducted a quick test. After applying a swatch on my hand, I sprayed it with water. To my surprise, the water beaded up and rolled off without disturbing the blush! Even when rubbing gently, the pigment remained intact. This is a game changer for anyone worried about their makeup running in the heat or humidity.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Fenty’s Cheeks Worth Clapping For blushes exceeded my expectations. The formulas are silky and smooth, with both matte and shimmer options that cater to different preferences. The waterproof claim is genuinely impressive, making these blushes a reliable choice for all-day wear.

If you’re looking to invest in some new blushes, I highly recommend checking these out! They offer beautiful, unique shades that can elevate any makeup look. Let me know in the comments which shade caught your eye, or if you’re planning to pick them up!
