Like a Multi-Tool for makeup Lovers, the Cheeky elegant Kaleidoscope blush palette by Le Metier de Beaute will save You From falling into the Too-Much-Rouge Trap
The Cheeky elegant Kaleidoscope by Le Metier de Beaute, $95
In classic Karen fashion, I brought three blush palettes with me when I went out of town to check out family over the holidays but ended up using just one of them the entire time, the new Cheeky elegant Kaleidoscope by Le Metier de Beaute.
I love the way it looks on my cheeks, but I do NOT love the redonkulous price.

It’s $95.
Yeah…
I could absolutely wear this palette every single day, and I did over a period of about two weeks.

It’s like a Swiss army knife. It consists of three matte blushes and a golden highlighter that swivel in and out. Nifty idea and amazing for travel.

All three of the blushes look delicate and natural on the skin, and when I top them with the golden highlighter, I feel like a glowing angel in a shampoo commercial…
The whole effect reminds me of the Ambient blush palette by Hourglass.
The Cheeky elegant Kaleidoscope by Le Metier de Beaute ($95)
Comes with three matte blushes (a matte salmon-pink, a neutral pink and a beige nude) and a sheer golden highlighter, which Le Metier refers to as a luminizer.
I like to wear the matte salmon pink or matte neutral pink on the apples of my cheeks (sometimes, I even mix them together) and the golden highlighter, which has a finish that’s a lot more of a sheen than a shimmer, on the tops of my cheekbones.
I don’t mind the nude beige blush, but I think it’ll be better for lighter skin tones than mine. often I’ll mix it with one or a lot more of the other blushes because, by itself, I can’t even see it until I’ve applied three or four layers.
The blushes and highlighter feel fantastically soft (like the Calvin Klein blanket I got at Costco for $16, yo!). They’re easy to blend, and when I wear them, I never feel like I’m drowning in rouge.
As stunning as these workhorse colors are, the palette is extremely expensive. You could absolutely find similar shades for less, but consider this: the powders work out to about $24 each, which is “cheaper” than a Chanel blush.
Available now at Le Metier de Beaute counters, Neiman Marcus stores and online.
