Kiss Kiss

ColourPop Kiss Kiss Cheek Dew Serum Blush ($7.00 for 0.48 oz.) is a light-medium brown with warmer, more orange undertones and a soft sheen. It had sheer color payoff in a single layer, which was hard to build up, though it was intended to do so.

The texture was runny, overly emollient and prone to sliding around on my skin, which made it difficult to work with as it did not want to stay in place. So often when I tried to get an even layer and diffused edges, the end result was product that pushed around and left massive patches of bare skin behind (or lifted foundation if applied over complexion products).

I tried an assortment of methods, and for this shade, I had the best luck applying it with a fingertip dabbed onto my cheeks, then letting it dry down a bit before using a stippling brush to diffuse the edge a little bit. I was never fully satisfied with the evenness and blend of the product, though. It lasted for six hours before fading visibly.

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.
