ColourPop Beyond Cheek Dew Serum Blush ($7.00 for 0.48 oz.) is a darker, reddish-brown with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It looked more plum-like applied as it was sheerer and so there was less visible warmth. It had sheer color payoff, which did not build up as it the formula was overly emollient and liked to push the product around rather than build up.

The texture was very emollient, slippery, and runny, which made it difficult to apply in an even layer. I tried fingertips, brushes, and sponges, and this shade worked best patted onto my cheeks gently with a fingertip and then allowed to dry down for about 10 to 15 seconds before using the gentlest pressure to soften the edge.

It was the kind of product that I felt I could barely blend before it became disastrous–color moved around, patches of missing product or foundation that disappeared, if applied over complexion products–and I had to accept at suboptimal application. The color showed signs of fading after six hours of wear.

Formula Overview

$7.00/0.48 oz. - $14.58 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "buildable coverage" with a "hint" of dewiness that can be applied with fingertips, sponge, or a duo fiber brush and is recommended to be applied prior to powder products.

The consistency was very fluid, and while it was sheerer by the nature of the fluidity of the formulation, you didn't need to squeeze out that much to get going. I would recommend squeezing out a bit on the back of your hand and gently rubbing it in a small circle using a fingertip, then applying to your face. This helped the product spread out and be the perfect level of tackiness to apply to bare skin or on top of foundation/base products without lifting them up. They had sheer to semi-sheer, buildable coverage.

They don't fully dry down, so the finish remained noticeably dewy (as the name might imply), and it didn't have the best wear (around six hours for better-performing shades), but the products faded evenly and didn't slide around/down my face.
