10:30 A.M. Brush a very small amount of the blush on my cheeks. The color looks natural, so I add a little more.
2:30 P.M. Grocery shopping and some vigorous housework. I have very oily skin and thought the blush would slide off, but it's still going strong.
5:00 P.M. Wake from an afternoon nap: pillowcase blush-free; cheeks still rosy.
7:00 P.M. Blush still there, as subtle as ever, looking practically the same as it did at 10:30 this morning.
