Urban Decay’s describes their powder blush formula as having “buildable color” with a “blendable, finely milled” texture that will wear for “eight long hours.” It had semi-sheer to mostly opaque, buildable coverage. The texture was slightly dusty but remained blendable, easy to apply, and didn’t look powdery on the skin. When blended, it doesn’t look totally flat and matte; there’s a very, very subtle sheen to the finish that makes it look like “natural” matte to my eye. This blush wore for eight hours, as promised, on me. I wish there were more shades like this available, because this type of color is harder to find–and so I’d love to see this one get larger distribution (it’s presently an Urban Decay web exclusive).

This colour looks beautiful on you!
Thanks, Asche!
Beautiful blush! I love this colour! 🙂
Me too!
Nice pairing Christine: the blush with the Sake lip. Works perfectly.
Thank ya, Wendy!
This is gorgeous! I have a free e/s single waiting on UD.com for my Feb bday. I think I’m going to have to snag this up and take advantage of that offer!
That is a great idea, Nicole! Do you get any eyeshadow free or is it a specific one for February?
You can pick any one you want including the moon dust formula! You have to create an account with their new “Junkies” program first. But, since my Bday was beginning of Feb, I got the promotion right away. Free Shipping too no on any amount once you sign up !
It’s a very pretty blush, you really suit it. I think it’s a wearable shade of plum/berry.
Thanks, Claire! I wish there were more shades like this!
This is a really nice color, but I wish I could try it out before purchasing!
Totally understand! It is nicer to try before you buy.
This shade is lovely! Something very “natural” in the sense that when most people flush, their cheeks usually do turn more this shade than say, bright fuchsia or orange. I’m seriously thinking of getting this one! ?
Very pretty. Again, I don’t have any of the listed dupes.
What about NARS Dolce Vita or NYX Mocha?
Those seem redder/warmer to me.
I almost bought thus the other day, and now that I’ve seen your review/swatches and signed up for UD “beauty junkies” I’m totally going to get it (and not have to spend $50 to get free shipping ha).
An interesting colour and gorgeous. Pity it’s online exclusive.
A gorgeous blush that looks lovely on you Christine.
I love this color on you! The afterglow blush formula is my all time favorite blush formula.
This looks like the perfect mix of plum and red, will go well with all my fave lippies! And harder to dupe. Why only exclusive to UD site?? Looks like I need to check this one out
If this had a hint more of a sheen I’d buy it! I know I add some with highlighter but I’m lazy.
Love this color. Not certain if this is the one I own. It may be. Whichever color I own, I to looked the application, finish and color.
This looks lovely on you!
I love this color. I have two blushes really similar to it that I rarely wear, though, because I have to be SO careful during application. Sigh… It looks beautiful on you, Christine! Not jealous… (totally jealous!) 😉
