Baby Doll

Ciate Baby Doll Glow-To Illuminating Blush ($26.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark pink with subtle, cooler undertones paired with warmer, golden shimmer. It had a luminous sheen that was pronounced on the skin but stopped just short of emphasizing my skin’s natural texture. It had buildable color payoff from medium to opaque that applied easily to bare skin and blended out almost effortlessly. The texture was smooth, finely-milled, and not at all powdery or dusty in the pan but very easy to pickup with a brush. It wore well for nine hours on me before fading slightly.

The formula is supposed to have buildable pigmentation from “barely-there” color to “intense color” with long-wear. It had a smooth consistency with a firmer press, but it was not stiff or difficult to pickup color. From the four shades I purchased, the pigmentation varied from medium to semi-opaque, and they were certainly buildable to full coverage, though the formula itself was forgiving enough that the color could be sheered out as desired (and the powder was conducive to simply picking up less product as well). The swirled nature of the highlighter-and-blush concept did make the color vary a bit, and sometimes it appeared more shimmery than others (though the brand noted that each compact contains 50% of each).

Summer Love

Ciate Summer Love Glow-To Illuminating Blush ($26.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a light-medium peach with a hint of pink paired with a luminous sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage, but it was less “barely-there” as it was a fairly pigmented product. The texture was smooth, soft, and blendable, so it was more forgiving if one wanted to use a lighter touch or diffuse a lot for sheerer coverage. It had a strong highlighting effect on the skin, and this particular shade seemed to emphasize my skin’s natural texture slightly. The highlighting blush lasted for eight and a half hours on me.
