Stila Convertible Color Gerbera Review

There was a lot of interest on my Stila Convertible Color in Peony review so I decided to do another one. This time I'll be talking about Stila Covertible Color in Gerbera. Gerbera is a bright sweet pink color that I found to be very flattering on all skin types. I first came across Gerbera when a makeup artist used it on me for an event and ever since then I was sold on the color and the radiant look that can be achieved with it.

This photo was from the event that I mentioned above where I first tried Convertible Color in Gerbera. I absolutely loved it cause the makeup artist was able to use it to give me a radiant look. It was also the first time when I saw a pro applying cream blushes and I quickly adopted her technique afterwards. ;)  And look at that hair - all done up, how I miss that!

Here's a color swatch of three Stila Convertible Colors. From left to right, Gerbera, Peony and Fuschia.The three colors don't have any shimmer in them but do have a slight satin finish.

I applied Gerbera on top of my foundation with a wedge sponge on the apples of my cheeks and moving upwards towards the area just between my ears and temples. Do this very lightly with the sponge so you don't end up with too much color past your cheeks. I recommend blending the product on the apples and then move further out and only apply more if you want more color. The amount of color to use depends on how natural you want your makeup to look. The more blended and less concentrated the color, the more natural-looking it becomes.

After setting my foundation and cream blush with loose setting powder, I applied Shu Uemura's Glow On Blush in M Pink 30 to even out any spots I missed with the cream blush.

The Shu Uemura blush looks very similar in color to Gerbera here, but it's actually a lot pinker. It goes on fairly light but since I didn't want to intensify the color on my cheek even more, I made sure to get rid of excess product by tapping my brush and dabbing it to a tissue. You can tell I use my Gerbara a lot!

Gerbera is a pretty color that looks so flattering on a wide spectrum of skin tones. It's such a beautiful color and easy on the eyes. Where Peony is more neutral and takes on other blush colors easily, Gerbera adds a radiant soft peachy pink to your cheeks. I like to use it for a radiant glow as well as a blush base so if you're looking for both of these , you can't go wrong with the color.

Here is what I used for my makeup:

1. Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Founation Primer
2. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
3. Armani Lasting Silk UV Foundation color 4.5 mixed with Lasting Silk 5.5
4. Shiseido Maquillage Line Concealer color 1 - blended it with
