Flirt Alert

ColourPop Flirt Alert Pressed Powder Blush ($8.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a light-medium pink with muted, neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. The powder felt quite silky-smooth to the touch, but it seemed overly emollient as it did not adhere well to my arm; that being said, it applied well to bare skin and almost blended itself. It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation that lasted nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

$12.00/0.28 oz. - $42.86 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly" and have a "natural and healthy flush" that has "long wear" and "can be layered to your desired intensity." It is a lightly to moderately powdery powder blush with semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable color payoff. The consistency has a drier, thinner feel and though it feels silky to the touch, I found it the type of powder blush can be tricky to blend out evenly on the skin, depending on one's skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin/base, the better the formula would blend, but any natural oils or slip caused the blush to go on unevenly and was difficult to blend out. The wear was between seven and eight hours on me on average.
