Flesh Beauty Rise Flesh to Flesh Highlighting Powder Review & Swatches

Christine — Sat, 14 Jul 2018 14:00:00 +0000

Rise

Flesh Beauty Rise Flesh to Flesh Highlighting Powder ($28.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a rich, deep gold with warm, brown undertones and a pearly sheen. It had intense color coverage in a single layer, but I felt like I could use a lighter touch and build up coverage more gradually if desired. The powder felt smooth and velvety to the touch with moderate density, light slip, and no powderiness or kick up in the pan. The highlighter applied well to bare skin and blended out with almost no effort. On me, it lasted well for eight hours before it started to fade visibly.

Formula Overview

$28.00/0.13 oz. - $215.38 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "smooth, cream-like" texture that yields a "natural, radiant glow." The key phrase on this one is "natural, radiant glow," as I'd describe the powder highlighter as a light to moderate highlighter with respect to shine and finish. The powders had a very smooth, velvety texture that was slightly creamy but thinner and not quite as dense, but it didn't have any powderiness or dryness either. They had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and blended out with little effort. They wore well for eight hours on average.

Flesh Beauty Pulse Tender Flesh Blush Review & Swatches

Christine — Thu, 12 Jul 2018 21:00:00 +0000

Pulse

Flesh Beauty Pulse Tender Flesh Blush ($26.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium-dakr plum with warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had excellent color coverage in a single layer, though I felt like I could use less and get more buildable coverage if preferred. The texture was soft and smooth without being too softly nor too firmly pressed in the pan. There was a subtle shimmer in the pan, but it was mostly matte on my cheeks once blended out. It applied well without needing too much effort to be blended, but it could have been a little more effortless. This shade stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$26.00/0.14 oz. - $185.71 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "richly pigmented" with a "cream-like powder" texture that is "infused with mica pearls for a glowy, soft focus effect," though there are two finishes--matte and frost. From the shades I trialled, they were pigmented and long-wearing (eight to nine hours) with some shades blending better than others. The texture is denser and firmer without powderiness, but I wouldn't describe the ones I tried as stiff.

Flesh Beauty Promise Flesh to Flesh Highlighting Powder Review & Swatches

Promise

Flesh Beauty Promise Flesh to Flesh Highlighting Powder ($28.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a soft copper with warm, rosy undertones and a luminous sheen. The consistency was smooth to the touch, blendable without being too powdery or dusty in the pan, and lightly creamy with moderate density but no thickness or stiffness. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out easily along the edges. The highlighter gave my skin a noticeable glow but wasn’t metallic and did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before it started to fade slightly.

Flesh Beauty Glaze Tender Flesh Blush Review & Swatches

Glaze

Flesh Beauty Glaze Tender Flesh Blush ($26.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium copper with warm, rusty red undertones and a luminous sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, velvety texture that was dense without being stiff or too thick, which made it incredibly blendable on my skin. The color went on evenly, diffused easily along the edges, and the finish helped it sit well on skin with a soft sheen that didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

Flesh Beauty Twitch Touch Flesh Highlighting Balm Review & Swatches

Christine — Tue, 03 Jul 2018 21:00:00 +0000

Twitch

Flesh Beauty Twitch Touch Flesh Highlighting Balm ($18.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a soft, light copper with warm, bronze undertones and fine, golden pearl. It had a pearly, luminous sheen on my skin that was slightly dewy. It had sheer coverage, as promised, which applied fairly evenly when I patted it onto my cheekbones. It was easiest to apply it over bare skin, but I didn’t notice too much lifting when I applied it over foundation. The consistency felt more balm-like with some slip and was a little wet and lightly tacky. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before it started to move around noticeably on my skin.

Formula Overview

$18.00/0.13 oz. - $138.46 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "sheer luminous goodness" that is "blendable" and contains "conditioning oil" for a "lit-from-within glow." It has a more balm-like texture that had moderate slip and felt emollient on the skin without a full dry-down, but it stayed in place for seven to eight hours. The formula seemed to have sheer coverage, as de4scribed, that was fairly blendable on bare skin as well as over base products. I prefer to apply cream and liquid products like these with fingertips (easier to control and faster to blend without fear of contaminating the actual tube of product with foundation or primer).

Worth noting, the tube is very small and contains 0.13 oz. where a lot of mid-end and lower high-end cream highlighting products contain 0.25 oz.
