Black Opal Orchid Baked Blush
Black Opal Orchid Baked Blush

Black Opal Orchid Baked Blush ($8.95 for 0.09 oz.) is a muted, medium rosy plum with gold sparkle. MAC Gentle (P, $29.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). Estee Lauder Mauve Mystique (P, $34.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). Zoeva Supreme (P, $26.00) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (85% similar). NARS Sexual Content (Right) (LE, ) is cooler (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

The formula is described as a “luxurious powder blush” with “silky smooth application” that yields a “radiant glow” and a “delicate flush of color.” The latter seems to suggest a sheerer formulation. The texture was somewhat dry and dusty, though it was blendable on the skin, and it did not look powdery on. It had sheer coverage that was buildable to semi-sheer but not much more than that. The color is gorgeous, and the finish is soft and luminous, though there was obvious sparkle on the skin that seemed unnecessary as it is quite sparse so it doesn’t really add anything. It lasted for six and a half hours on me before fading.

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
