Is True Plum good for deep skin tones?

Yes. It is a deep berry-plum that shows up on medium to deep skin without looking harsh. On very fair skin it reads strong, so use a light hand.

Is this blush matte or shimmery?

It is a mostly matte powder with a soft, natural finish. There is no visible glitter, so it works for a subtle daytime look.

How do I apply it for a natural look?

Tap a fluffy brush into the pan, shake off the excess and sweep along the cheekbone, building in thin layers. A light layer over foundation or a cream base helps it last.

How does it compare with other Covergirl blushes?

Cheekers is the smaller, sheerer option; other Covergirl powder blushes come in larger pans with more color payoff. Cheekers wins on portability and subtlety.

Does it come with a brush or mirror?

The compact is a small basic case. Do not count on a usable brush or mirror inside; bring your own brush.

Will it work on dry skin?

It can cling to dry patches. Moisturize and use a hydrating base first, or tap on a cream blush underneath.

Our take on the COVERGIRL Cheekers Blendable Powder Blush, 185 True Plum, 0.12 oz

Cheekers is Covergirl's long-running mini powder blush, sold in a small compact that fits in a pocket or a small makeup bag. True Plum is a deep berry-plum shade that suits medium to deep skin tones and reads as a natural flush rather than a bright pop of color. The powder is buildable and blends with a fluffy brush, though it is not the most pigmented formula on the shelf. Owners rate it well for everyday wear and portability; rivals in the same range offer more color payoff and larger pans.
