What They Say: "Experience the look, the feel, the beauty of azurée, Summer 2006, from the Tom Ford Estée Lauder Collection. Three color palettes--azurée, st. tropée and cap bronzée. Three mysterious places that epitomize the legends of the beach. Create your look with the shades from one palette and the universal must-haves that work with all 3 palettes. Tom Ford on the azurée makeup collection: "This is a collection for the woman whose fantasy takes her away to sexy, remote beaches."
Starting at top of cheekbone, near middle of ear, apply forward toward nose, following natural line of face and blend."
Jen's Experience: I was a little doubtful about how well this would work when I first took the cap off of the Cheek Glow. It seemed a little too solid to apply easily and blend well. All my doubts are gone now; the more I use it, the more I like it.
This cream blush applies like a cream blush, and blends easily. Unlike other cream blushes that come in a pot, this one allows my fingertips to stay relatively clean aside from some light blending. Because it's more solid than other cream blushes I've used, it is much more difficult to over-apply so the effect is really natural. In fact, I like to make a second swipe on the underside of my cheekbons for extra depth.
As for the color, if you're using a face glow product regularly or you have a warmer skintone, I think you'll find you like this color a lot. For those of you with blue undertones (like me), you'll definitely need to test it with your skin-tone. I find that it looks great when I have a little color, but when I've been spending too much time under the fluorescent lights at the office, it's a bit orangey. They make another shade called St. Tropee glow that is more of a pink, and that may be a better choice than the Azuree for the fairer skin tones.
Overall, the formulation is fantastic and it's definitely a product I'm hoping Estee Lauder continues to expand beyond their Summer Collection.

I've been a little skeptical about this line, though there's been lots written about it. Do you think it'll work for us browner-skinned beauties?
