Formula Overview
$9.50/0.317 oz. - $29.97 Per Ounce
The Signature Ombre Blush is supposed to have a "silkly formula that easily blends" while having "high pigment payoff." The key takeaway with the formula is that it had incredibly high pigmentation, so those who tend to be heavy-handed with blush may find this harder to work with. Those who prefer more pigmented formulations will likely enjoy this formula.
One really needed a light tap of product for application, but in order to get an even mix/swirl of the gradient of shades, you really had to swirl the brush and pick up quite a bit of product, so I'd recommend tapping off excess and potentially using a second, clean tool for blending out.
The powder was smooth, finely-milled, and blendable and was fairly forgiving, despite the high color payoff. They applied evenly and stayed on well for eight to nine hours on me.

I’m a fan of ombre blushes – they use to be very popular a decade or so ago, so I hope more of them come back into fashion. This one is obviously not my shade, but I do love the ombre effect, the rating and the price.
Because I’m a true medium depth, I think that I can get away with wearing this super punchy blush provided that I use a stippling brush. Even for me, this is a very INTENSE one!
OoOoOoooOoOoooo I love this!
Gorgeous colors! I’d go in with a really light hand because that is very saturated, but oh so pretty.
Must be a shade I like. I’ve got 4 dupes….
Serious pigmentation there! Nice combo in an ombre too!
