This blush is very pigmented! It does not mess around. Use a light hand and a softer brush to apply this, and go in layers - because it's easier to add another layer in 10 minutes if you decide that it's just too light, than to try and soften it once...
Medium-light pink with slight mauve undertones. I can see why this shade was one of the earlier discontinuations - it's a very light pink but it's not “ballet pink,” and it just…doesn't look great.
