Tousled hair with a bit of frizz isn\u2019t a bad hair day and smudged, slightly faded lipstick doesn\u2019t need to be touched up. Their effortless approach to beauty is the antithesis of the popular (and very dewy) \u201cclean girl\u201d aesthetic, but it is in line with the rising blurred makeup trend. <\/p>\n<p>This lived-in (and more attainable) look strikes a balance between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/beauty\/matte-makeup-trend\">matte<\/a> and dewy and has a blended, filter-like, soft-focus finish.

However, I still want my makeup to look natural and as effortless as possible. So I was eager to get my hands on this blush and have been testing it for a month leading up to its launch. <\/p>\n<p>Ahead, I share my honest thoughts on Violette_FR\u2019s new Plume Blush, along with details on the formula and available shades. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR T46\">\n<div>\n<div><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/product\/plume-blush-feather-matte-cream-to-powder-cheek-melt-P522555\" data-skimlink=\"true\" class=\"Rcu\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"ooy\">\n<div class=\"pxF wxt GZd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Plume Blush \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/21\/8bd888f7\/violette_fr_plume_blush_rose-fume_3.jpg?w=330&amp;h=243&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z mdu F6g\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Mup\">\n<div class=\"O8F\">Violette_FR<\/div>\n<div class=\"yiq\">Plume Blush <\/div>\n<div class=\"o75\"><span>$34<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"OiB\">\n<div class=\"RSA\">The matte-finish powder blushes leave a soft, diffused wash of color on the cheeks. <\/div>\n<p><button class=\"yMn\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"lXj\">See On Sephora<\/div>\n<div class=\"jMM\"><\/div>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Fast Facts <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Price: $34<\/li>\n<li>Size: 5.1 g\/ 0.17 oz<\/li>\n<li>Best For: A soft, buildable flush, those who prefer a matte finish<\/li>\n<li>Ingredient Highlights: Peach kernel oil, sunflower seed oil, vitamin E<\/li>\n<li>What We Like: Easy to apply without overdoing it, blends seamlessly, lasts all day<\/li>\n<li>What We Don\u2019t Like: Nothing!<\/li>\n<li>Rating: 5\/5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"tDr\"><p><strong>How TZR Keeps Score: <\/strong>1\/5: Making a return; 2\/5: Keeping as a backup; 3\/5: Finishing to the last drop; 4\/5: Recommending to my group texts; 5\/5: Already on auto-replenish<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The Formula <\/h2>\n<p>When creating Plume Blush, Serrat was inspired by the Renaissance painting technique velatura, where thin, semi-opaque layers of paint are applied over a dry underpainting to create a soft, hazy effect. This translates to the blush\u2019s vibrant yet diffused finish. <\/p>\n<p>To achieve this look, the buildable formula melts on like a cream but sets matte like a traditional powder. It\u2019s infused with skin care ingredients peach kernel oil, sunflower seed oil, and vitamin E to help it glide on smooth and to provide moisturizing benefits. Violette also added a hint of vanilla to add to the sensorial experience. <\/p>\n<p>Plume Blush comes in five curated shades: Rose Fum\u00e9 (soft neutral smoked rose), Latte Praline (nude infused with caramel and pink), En Feu (Fiery Red), Ambre Rouge Fum\u00e9 (warm nude with a touch of spice), and Souvenir de Volubilis (cool-toned purple-pink). Each comes in very photogenic Matisse blue-inspired compacts. <\/p>\n<p>For seamless application, Serrat recommends using a dense brush, so she also created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/product\/le-kabuki-complexion-brush-P522564?skuId=2975209&amp;icid2=products%20grid:p522564:product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Le Kabuki<\/a> ($38) designed to be used to with the blushes. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR zRg CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div class=\"pxF mvL s169855029\">.s169855029{padding-top:125.0156%}@media(min-width:768px){.s169855029{padding-top:125.0156%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Violette_FR Plume Blush review \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/22\/544080b8\/violette_fr_plume_blush_digital_use_only_2.jpg?w=414&amp;h=518&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite>Courtesy of Violette_FR<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>My Experience &amp; Results<\/h2>\n<p>I typically stick to cream blush because it\u2019s easy to blend and looks more natural than powders. The only issue is that many on the market don\u2019t have staying power, so I was eager to see if Plume Blush would make me a convert. Spoiler: It did. <\/p>\n<p>All of the shades look vibrant in the packaging, but when you apply them, they leave the softest wash of color that you can layer if you\u2019re in the mood for intensely-flushed cheeks. Like Serrat, I also endorse tapping the blush onto the cheeks with a dense brush because the color goes on evenly and sets better for longer wear time. Speaking of wear time, the blush stayed put all day long and looked just as fresh at 5 p.m. as it did at 9 a.m. Considering I do work up a bit of a sweat while waiting for the train on New York City\u2019s very hot and humid subway platforms, and from rushing to and from work appointments, I was impressed. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt jcX\">\n<div class=\"I66\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s-2101972730\">.s-2101972730{padding-top:100%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-2101972730{padding-top:100%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Violette_FR Plume Blush Review\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/22\/b00d792d\/img_7315.jpeg?w=300&amp;h=300&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g Uw3\">Wearing Rose Fum\u00e9.<cite class=\"AA0\">Erin Lukas <\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"I66\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s-1900499785\">.s-1900499785{padding-top:155.6667%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-1900499785{padding-top:155.6%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Violette_FR Plume Blush Review \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/22\/f7ce9a02\/img_7258.jpeg?w=300&amp;h=467&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g Uw3\">Wearing Latte Praline.<cite class=\"AA0\">Erin Lukas<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"I66\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s-2101972730\">.s-2101972730{padding-top:100%}@media(min-width:768px){.s-2101972730{padding-top:100%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Violette_FR Plume Blush Review\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/22\/f9921d3a\/img_7494.jpeg?w=300&amp;h=300&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g Uw3\">Wearing Souvenir de Volubilis.<cite class=\"AA0\">Erin Lukas<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-468661747\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/3<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>My favorite shades of the bunch are Rose Fum\u00e9 for everyday wear and Latte Praline for more of a warm, sun-kissed look.

If you prefer matte makeup over dewy, or you\u2019re a minimalist like me and always want to come off as though you didn\u2019t put in a ton of effort, these blushes are absolutely worth adding to your cart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fX2 rhF jIS\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"display:block\" class=\"lqj TnP\">\n<div class=\"BMP\">\n<div>(Stay Up To Date)<\/div>\n<div class=\"nnm\">Become A Style Insider<\/div>\n<div class=\"P8h\">Join The Zoe Report\u2019s exclusive email list for the latest trends, shopping guides, celebrity style, and more.<\/div>\n<div><button type=\"submit\" class=\"Ex8 qgj\">Submit<\/button><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-0\">By subscribing to this BDG newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/terms-of-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/privacy-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Privacy Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/newsletter\">Subscribe to our newsletter &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.page-468428813{&#8211;slot4:#bb2114;&#8211;slot7:#bb2114;&#8211;slot11:#bb2114;&#8211;slot13:#bb2114;&#8211;slot14:#bb2114;&#8211;metaColor:#bb2114;&#8211;navColor:#bb2114} (Trial Run) Violette_FR\u2019s Plume Blush Has Convinced Me To Go All-In On Blurred Makeup Finally, a powder that doesn\u2019t look chalky. by Erin Lukas 3 hours ago Erin Lukas Trial Run We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.
