Tropical Sunset

By Terry Tropical Sunset Sun Designer Palette ($82.00 for 0.53 oz.) includes six powder blushes–three are bolder, brighter options and three are more subdued, “neutral” tones. All six of the powders were soft, finely-milled, and blendable on the skin with pigmentation varied from medium to opaque (but the ones that weren’t richly pigmented were still buildable) that lasted from eight to nine hours on me.

Tropical Sunset #1

Tropical Sunset #1 is a bright pop of medium orange with warm undertones and a semi-matte to satin finish. It had medium, buildable pigmentation with a soft, silky texture that felt finely-milled and just kicked up the tiniest amount of excess powder. The blush blended out easily on the cheeks and lasted for eight and a half hours.

Tropical Sunset #2

Tropical Sunset #2 is a muted, medium-dark gold with warm undertones and fine pearl. It’s an interesting shade because it’s lighter than a typical brown but nowhere near as shimmery as most gold-colored powders. The consistency was incredibly and silky and smooth, just a touch dusty in the pan, and applied easily to bare skin with effortless blending. It had good color coverage that lasted for eight hours on me. It did seem to darken slightly on my skin after I applied it–slightly coppery compared to the swatch.

Tropical Sunset #3

Tropical Sunset #3 is a rich, medium-dark fuchsia pink with very subtle, cool undertones and fine, iridescent pink pearl. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff with a soft, slightly dusty texture in the pan. The blush did not appear dry or dusty on the skin, and it blended out with little effort (more effort than the other shades, but for this type of shade, impressive). It stayed on well for eight and a half hours.

Tropical Sunset #5

Tropical Sunset #5 is a soft, light-medium beige with a hint of rosiness and warmth paired with a satin finish. It had excellent pigentation, while the consistency was smooth, silky, and dense enough not to be powdery or dusty in the pan but still very blendable on the skin. It just barely showed on my skin tone, but I thought it worked well to layer over the more intense orange and pink blushes to tone them down, if desired. It wore well for eight hours on me.

Tropical Sunset #6

Tropical Sunset #6 is a muted, medium-dark coppery brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had good color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly to the cheeks. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and blendable, and it became more luminous as I blended the powder on my cheeks (but never appeared shimmery). The color started to fade after eight and a half hours of wear.
