formula overview
$14.00/0.12oz. – $116.67 per ounce
The formula is said to have a “super-fine texture” with “buildable” coverage that comes in both matte and shimmer finishes. The consistency was thinner and almost chalky compared to the previous formula and while I think it applied and looked better on my skin than it looked, the matte shades were fairly flat on the skin and would benefit from additional product benefit to breathe life into the skin.
The pigmentation varied from shade to shade but was typically medium and buildable, which was compounded by the fact that the texture itself was a bit firmer overall. I tested eight of the 13 shades I bought to wear and they lasted me six to seven hours, which is shorter than usual for powder blush on my normal to dry skin. I would describe the wear as more prone to fading and it seemed to fade away quicker than most blushes (although they faded evenly).
