Coloured Raine Call the Shots Highlighter and Blush Duo Review & Swatches
Call the Shots
Coloured Raine Call the Shots Highlighter and Blush Duo ($25.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, limited edition duo that features a muted copper highlighter paired with a richer coral-red blush. Both shades had good pigmentation and sat well on my skin, while the textures were creamier but a bit thicker/denser, which made them a bit harder to pick up with some brushes.

Call the Shots (Highlighter)
Call the Shots (Highlighter) is a light-medium copper with moderate, warm undertones and a soft, frosted finish with peach-to-pink shifting micro-sparkle. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer with a moderately dense, slightly cream-like consistency. I preferred using a more rounded, denser brush to pick up product, which helped grab product more readily and distributed it more evenly onto my skin. It didn’t play well with more feathery or tapered highlighting brushes due to it being a little stiffer/firmer in the pan. The powder blended out nicely and seemed to “melt” a bit after a few minutes of wear. It lasted well for eight and a half hours on me before I noticed any fading.

Call the Shots (Blush)
Call the Shots (Blush) is a rich, coral-red with warm undertones and a fine, golden sheen. It had a denser, creamier consistency that took a heavier hand/denser brush to pick up evenly, though it was incredibly pigmented where a little went a very, very long way. It looked a bit pinker when applied and blended out and had a soft glow to its finish without appearing noticeably shimmery. The color blended out without too much effort, but between the denser consistency and actual pigmentation, it can be hard to correct once over-applied. It stayed on well for nine hours on me before fading visibly.

Upon seeing the dupes just under each of the two shades, I instantly knew why I really liked this duo at first sight: because I have Nars Fetishised, Smashbox Rosemantic and MAC Highlight The Truth for starters!
I have Dior 999 blush and love it but it pulls more pinky than coral on me. It has some of the same issues that Call The Shots does in that it is super pigmented and the first time I used it I walked around looking like I had just applied a glob and didn’t even try to blend it out. I usually always swirl off some blush before going to cheek because I would prefer to build up than try to go for opacity in the first swipe. I was in a hurry though, going to Queen concert and didn’t follow my usual process. I couldn’t get that blush to blend out for anything and even went back in with my BB with traces of my foundation on it, to try diffuse the edges. I ended up having to add more foundation to the BB, lightly cover the whole area and then lightly reapply the blush.
I love the shade Call The Shots and would be interested if it would read truer to colour on me and not shift pink.
I have this and I’m really loving it! The highlighter is gorgeous no glitter just a pretty glow. I’m considering buying a couple more of the blush duo’s from his collection. I’m really curious about the red/silver-pearl blush duo , it’s an unusual combination.
I thought for sure I’d lean towards the redder blushers in this collection, given that I have nearly every coral under the sun, but nope, this has stolen my heart quite completely…
Stunning combination, but they lean far too orangey for me. I like the finishes on them.
Show stopper! (Form me, that is.)
Don’t need more blush …. don’t need more blush … don’t need more blush … ?
