Persona Terracotta Super Blush Review & Swatches

Christine — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 19:00:00 +0000

Terracotta

Persona Terracotta Super Blush ($22.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a light-medium brown with moderate, warm undertones–seemed balance between red and more orange–paired with a matte finish. It wasn’t a flat/dry matte finish, as it looked very skin-like once applied and blended out.

The texture was very finely-milled, silky and smooth, but it was somewhat powdery in the pan so I’d recommend using a lighter hand when picking up product initially. It was also opaque in coverage, so to actually achieve the buildable coverage marketed, you’d have to use an even lighter hand to do so (or a less-dense brush–maybe a fan brush). The blush applied beautifully and blended out with little effort. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$22.00/0.18 oz. - $122.22 Per Ounce

The formula is described as "buildable, budge-proof" that "minimize[s] the appearance of pores and fine lines" and has a "matte yet luminous finish." The pigmentation was more semi-opaque to opaque coverage, but the texture was smooth without being too powdery, so one could use a lighter hand to get sheerer, more buildable coverage.

The powder applied well to bare skin and felt velvety like a silicone primer would, both in feel and look, as the powder diffused easily on my skin and had a satin finish on my skin--not quite matte but not overly shimmery either. It looked more seamless, almost "melted" finish, than a true matte blush would be, and I'd say that's where it closes in on its claim about minimizing the look of pores and fine lines. The formula wore well for nine hours before fading visibly on me.

Persona Carmel Super Blush Review & Swatches

Christine — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 14:00:00 +0000

Carmel

Persona Carmel Super Blush ($22.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with strong, warm undertones and a satin finish. It seemed to have nearly imperceptible shimmer throughout the product, which didn’t translate into visible shimmer applied to skin but gave it a subtle sheen. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable without being powdery, and it had more noticeable slip to it (like you might find in a silicone-based primer).

It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was more pigmentation than I expected based on the claims for this formula. I think the color can be built up by using a lighter hand, though, so it was workable and likely not a deal-breaker for most. It stayed on well for nine hours before showing signs of fading.

Persona Georgia Super Blush Review & Swatches

Christine — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 21:24:37 +0000

Georgia

Persona Georgia Super Blush ($22.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a brighter pop of medium coral-orange with strong, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good pigmentation in a single layer, so I’d say it was more pigmented than it was naturally buildable, but the texture was yielding and workable for use with a lighter hand (or less-dense brush) to achieve more buildable coverage with the right technique.

The consistency was smooth to the touch, firmer but not dense or stiff, so it wasn’t powdery but picked up readily with most brushes. By touch, it seemed more velvety, like one might expect from a silicone-based primer, and the powder sat well on bare skin. It applied evenly, blended out well, and lasted nicely for nine hours before fading noticeably.

Persona Identity Two Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Christine — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 21:00:00 +0000

Identity Two

Persona Identity Two Eyeshadow Palette ($42.00 for 0.48 oz.) is the brand’s second palette, which features a deeper color story with a mix of mattes (five shades) and shimmers (seven shades). The shimmers were lovely; pigmented, smooth and blendable, and easy to work with. The mattes were softer and a little powdery, so there was a bit of fallout with them, but they were pigmented and blendable.

Honest

Honest is a pale beige with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic finish. I found that it swatched wildly different than it appeared in the pan; it was so much deeper and darker in the pan that it really threw me when I went to use it! The texture was soft, a smidgen dusty but not prone to fallout, and remained blendable when applied to bare skin. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that stayed on well for eight hours on me.

Persona Del Mar Cali Glow Highlighter Review, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Wed, 11 Apr 2018 14:00:00 +0000

Del Mar

Persona Del Mar Cali Glow Highlighter ($24.00 for 0.26 oz.) is a medium copper with warm, golden shimmer and a frosted finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The powder felt a bit too dense and was stiffer in the pan, and the product had some dryness as I worked with it on my skin. It took a heavier hand to buff and blend out the highlighter onto my cheekbones for even, smooth coverage. I didn’t feel that it emphasized my skin’s texture, but the shimmer size seemed to be more distinctive in this shade compared to the other two hues (which seemed shinier in finish). This shade lasted for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$24.00/0.26 oz. - $92.31 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to give a "warm, sun kissed reflective glow" that will "build up to a high-impact shine" with an "ultra smooth and creamy" texture. Two of three shades were fairly pigmented with smooth, creamy textures, but one was drier and stiffer in the pan (definitely different than the other two!). The finish they yield is shiny and metallic, so the formula would be ideal for someone who likes a strong highlighter, and I would not consider them a buildable formula (they can be applied with a lighter hand, of course, but they're pigmented overall). I didn't find that it emphasized my skin's texture. They wore around eight hours on me before I noticed fading.

Persona Zuma Cali Glow Highlighter Review, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 14:00:00 +0000

Zuma

Persona Zuma Cali Glow Highlighter ($24.00 for 0.26 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy gold with warm undertones and a metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, creamy texture that felt denser and velvety to the touch, but it wasn’t too stiff to pickup easily with highlighting brushes. (The downside was the pigmentation–it was opaque, not really buildable without using a very light hand or less-dense tool.. true of most pigmented products.) The highlighter applied easily onto my skin with great blendability. This shade had the strongest sheen on my cheekbones, but it didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for eight hours on me before it started to fade.
