Quality: 9.75/10
Hussy is one of the brightest shades I’ve ever come across. If a watermelon-pink and coral had a baby, Hussy is the shade you’d get. This color will look fantastic on deep skin tones and can look beautiful on light skin too, as long as you use a light hand.
The formula is fairly soft, isn’t powdery, and isn’t chalky. It applies in a fairly even and smooth manner and has no trouble retaining its strong color throughout the day.
Ease of Use: 9.5/10
Lightly dab your brush into the pan, tap it off, and then apply. The powder adheres well to the skin, so if you apply too much, you’ll have a hard time correcting the clownish effect you’d get. Even after a light application, I like to buff over the powder with a clean brush to soften the effect.

For $24.00 you get 4 grams (0.14 ounces) of blush. MAC Powder Blushes are $20.00 and contain 6 grams (0.21 ounces) of product. NARS blushes are $28.00 and contain 0.16 ounces. You get a better deal compared to NARS, but pay significantly more compared to MAC.
