ColourPop Shortbread Pressed Powder Blush ($10.00 for 0.28 ounces) is a medium burnt orange with warmer, reddish undertones and a matte finish. It was terribly sticky to my skin – the powder wouldn’t stick – but I had no trouble applying it to my cheeks.

formula overview

The formula is said to apply “smoothly” and have a “natural and healthy blush” that “lasts long” and “can be layered to your desired intensity.” It is a light to moderately powdery powder blush with semi-transparent to semi-opaque buildable color payoff. The texture feels drier, thinner and while it feels silky I found that powder blush type can be difficult to blend evenly over skin depending on skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin/base, the better the formula blended, but natural oils or slips caused the blush to apply unevenly and be difficult to blend. The average wearing time for me was between seven and eight hours.
