I have this in the shade plum desire and man - it is hella dark and really pigmented!

In this particular shade, you really do not need much for it to show up on your cheeks.

I don't actually use the little brush that it comes with as it picks up way too much product. I prefer the Real Techniques blush brush.

It does not kick off a lot of product, but the pigment is strong in this one!

It lasts all day long, but it can be a little patchy if not well blended.

For the price, I would say it is definitely worth a try.
