Manyika can be described as a cherry pink with cool undertones and a satin-shimmery finish. I can detect subtle shimmers on the pan and on swatches but it doesn't really translate once it's applied on the cheeks. The satiny finish just gives enough "glow" for that lit from within effect.

My love for bright and bold blushes is no secret so this shade really stood out to me. The color can be flattering to all skin tones and would also be perfect to give a subtle flushed cheek. The reddish pink really brightens up the face without looking overly unnatural.

This blush has great pigmentation with opaque and buildable coverage. It felt a tad dry and powdery when swatched on my arm, but had no issues when it was on my cheeks. It applied smoothly and evenly with minimal (if any) fallout. You need a very light hand to apply the bold color but because of the satiny formula, it is also easy to blend out. If ever you go overboard, you can use a stippling brush to diffuse the color.

The soft satin consistency feels very lightweight. With the brighter shade, you could also expect this blush to stay on. It wore well and streak-free and still looked good as new after over six hours. The great thing about this blush range is that it's affordable enough so you can try more bold colors without a lot. The quality is there so you definitely get more bang for your buck.
