The Color Source Buildable Blush formula is supposed to offer–you guessed it–buildable color coverage with a “silky-smooth” consistency available in matte and satin finishes. It had buildable coverage from semi-sheer to mostly opaque (one to three layers, respectively) that was easily blended and diffused on the skin with little effort. The powder’s texture was silky-smooth, thinner but not dusty or powdery. This shade wore well for eight hours on me before fading slightly.

Oh this is pretty! I was eyeing UD TMI, but might be too dark, think this one will work better for me, a classic plum color that will go well with many of my lippies
