Cover FX Spiced Cinnamon Monochromatic Blush Duo Review & Swatches

Christine — Sat, 22 Jun 2019 14:00:00 +0000

Spiced Cinnamon

Cover FX Spiced Cinnamon Monochromatic Blush Duo ($38.00 for 0.51 oz.) includes a richer, deeper coral with a matte finish paired with a shimmering, more mid-tone coral with both shades running warmer, more red-orange than pink or full-on orange. They performed well; they were pigmented, long-wearing, and easy to apply and blend out.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.51 oz. - $74.51 Per Ounce

The duo includes both a "monochromatic matte and shimmer shade" that can be used "individually or layer[ed] together." The blushes are described as having "high-impact payoff" with no other specifics. The consistency of the matte shades was incredibly silky, finely-milled, and smooth without being powdery--they were thinner but not difficult to apply and sat well on bare skin as well as over foundation. The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque to opaque and was definitely buildable.

Both the matte and shimmer products wore between eight and nine hours on me.

Spiced Cinnamon (Left)

Spiced Cinnamon (Left) is a medium-dark coral with strong, warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer more. The texture was soft, smooth, and velvety to the touch without being powdery or dusty. The blush applied evenly to my skin and blended out with little effort for a seamless, skin-like finish. It wore well for nine hours on me before fading noticeably.

Spiced Cinnamon (Right)

Spiced Cinnamon (Right) is a medium-dark coral with strong,w arm undertones and fine, gold and pink pearl that gave it a luminous finish. The consistency was smooth to the touch, dense without being too firmly pressed in the pan, and soft without being powdery. This shade had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, but it was easy to dial down the pigmentation with a lighter hand or less-dense brush as well. It applied evenly to my cheeks, blended out easily along the edges, and the more I buffed it into my skin, the smoother and more glowing the finish appeared. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

Formula Overview

The shimmery shades were slightly firmer with more of a powder-gel hybrid consistency that is firmer, denser but is often smoother and more "melted" when applied and blended out on skin. For this type of formula, I'd recommend a moderately dense blush or highlighter brush. Most of the shimmery shades had a luminous sheen--smoother, shinier finish but not intense or metallic. I found that layering the matte over the shimmer to yield a more intense shimmer effect, which is more of a tip from me to you than a pro/con.

Both the matte and shimmer products wore between eight and nine hours on me.

Cover FX Sweet Mulberry Monochromatic Blush Duo Review & Swatches

Christine — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Sweet Mulberry

Cover FX Sweet Mulberry Monochromatic Blush Duo ($38.00 for 0.51 oz.) includes a cooler, deeper plum with more of a matte finish paired with a shimmering, plummy bronze with a luminous finish. I liked that this duo was a little more contrasting–a bit of coolness and warmth playing together but still on the more monochromatic side. Both shades were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing with little to complain about.

Sweet Mulberry (Left)

Sweet Mulberry (Left) is a muted, medium-dark plum with subtle, cool undertones and a natural, matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that was easily built up for full coverage or used with a lighter hand (or less-dense brush) for sheerer, more buildable coverage. The consistency was smooth to the touch, velvety without being dry or powdery, and blendable on my skin with a beautiful, skin-like finish. It wore well for nine hours on me before fading slightly.

Sweet Mulberry (Right)

Sweet Mulberry (Right) is a deeper, plummy bronze with warmer, browner undertones and cooler, plummy shimmer that gave it a luminous sheen. It was richly pigmented, where a little went a long way, but the shimmer was softer and finer, so the more I blended it out on my skin, the smoother and more luminous the blush looked applied. The texture was smooth to the touch, dense without being too firmly pressed in the pan, and easy to blend out. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before I noticed slight fading.

Warm Honey (Right) is a soft, peachy brown with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It’s interesting how shimmery they appear swatched, but the shimmer softens and seems to “melt” when applied and blended out as a cheek color. The blush was smooth to the touch, dense without being too firmly pressed in the pan, and had sat beautifully on my skin without emphasizing my natural texture.

Pink Dahlia (Right)

Pink Dahlia (Right) is a light-medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It seemed more sparkly/frosted when swatched, but applied to my cheeks, it diffused to a very luminous sheen that was lightly shiny but not overly frosted, so it did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It had buildable pigmentation from semi-opaque coverage in a single layer. The powder had a smooth, denser consistency that wasn’t too firmly pressed in the pan, and it was easy to pick up product without excess kicked up in the pan. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours on me before fading visibly.

CoverFX Sunkissed Bronze Monochromatic Bronzer Duo Review & Swatches

Sunkissed Bronze

Cover FX Sunkissed Bronze Monochromatic Bronzer Duo ($38.00 for 0.51 oz.) is the lighter of the two bronzer duos available. It has more of a golden undertone running through both the matte and shimmer shades. Both bronzers were pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with and had eight to nine hour wear.

Sunkissed Bronze (Left)

Sunkissed Bronze (Left) is a medium brown with soft, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly to bare skin. The powder had a finely-milled, silky consistency that wasn’t powdery and felt almost velvety with some slip. The bronzer blended out effortlessly on my skin and stayed in place well for eight and a half hours on me.

Sunkissed Bronze (Right)

Sunkissed Bronze (Right) is a medium, golden brown with warm undertones and a lightly, metallic finish. It had one of the shinier, more shimmery finishes from both the blush and bronzer duos available, though it didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. The cheek color had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, denser consistency that wasn’t too firmly pressed in the pan. It applied evenly and blended out seamlessly, and it stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Cover FX Suntan Bronze Monochromatic Bronzer Duo Review & Swatches

Christine — Wed, 29 May 2019 14:00:00 +0000

Suntan Bronze

Cover FX Suntan Bronze Monochromatic Bronzer Duo ($38.00 for 0.51 oz.) contains a deeper, red-toned brown with a matte finish and a medium, reddish-copper with a lightly metallic finish. Both shades were blendable, long-wearing, and easy to work with, while the matte side had more semi-opaque, buildable coverage compared to the shimmery side, which was opaque in one layer.

Suntan Bronze (Left)

Suntan Bronze (Left) is a medium-dark, reddish-brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage with a smooth, velvety consistency. The powder applied well to bare skin and blended out with little effort. What I really was impressed by was that it had a natural matte finish–matte but not dry or powdery, and it didn’t darken unevenly with natural oils from my skin as some matte powders can. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading visibly.

Suntan Bronze (Right)

Suntan Bronze (Right) is a medium-dark coppery bronze with warm, reddish undertones and a soft, sparkling sheen. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer with barely-there, faint micro-sparkle over a more luminous finish, though it was one of the higher-shine shimmer shades from the various duos. The texture was smooth to the touch, soft without being powdery, and denser without being stiff or difficult to pick up and blend out on my skin. The color stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me before I noticed any fading.
