ColourPop Chaise Pressed Blush Review & Swatches
Chaise
ColourPop Chaise Pressed Powder Blush ($10.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a light, peachy orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage–which was still more pigmented than marketed but may not be a deal-breaker for everyone!–that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out without difficulty.
The texture was soft, lightly powdery in the pan but did not appear dry or dusty on my skin. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$12.00/0.28 oz. - $42.86 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly" and have a "natural and healthy flush" that has "long wear" and "can be layered to your desired intensity." It is a lightly to moderately powdery powder blush with semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable color payoff. The consistency has a drier, thinner feel and though it feels silky to the touch, I found it the type of powder blush can be tricky to blend out evenly on the skin, depending on one's skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin/base, the better the formula would blend, but any natural oils or slip caused the blush to go on unevenly and was difficult to blend out. The wear was between seven and eight hours on me on average.

A bit on the light side for me, but it could perhaps still work. Not sure. It is a beautiful, fresh looking shade, though. I really love it.
Wow, this is one that doesn’t look like much to me in the pan, but is very beautiful on! I ordered it, fingers crossed it looks as nice on me as it does on you…! I tend to like ColourPop’s powder blush formula, so I think I’ll be happy with it.
