ColourPop Lunar Has It Pressed Powder Blush Review & Swatches
Lunar Has It
ColourPop Lunar Has It Pressed Powder Blush ($7.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a soft, light-medium orange with warm, peachy undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer with a soft, smooth consistency that wasn’t powdery nor too firmly pressed in the pan. The formula felt more finely-milled compared to past ColourPop blushes–more like a blend between their pressed highlighters and pressed blushes to me. The blush formula is supposed to be buildable, though, and you can definitely use a lighter hand with it to achieve more buildable coverage, I’d never describe it as such–it is quite pigmented. It applied well, blended out easily, and lasted for eight and a half hours on me.

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.

Such a pretty summer shade! Unfortunately, these types of shades make me look ill instead of looking like I have blush on. About the best I can do in this range is their Clock Work duo. Anything more yellow than that….?
The beauty of that is you know what works already! ?
Looks like my beloved MAC Tenderling. Tenderling is probably a little lighter and pinker though. Do you have it Christine?
I don’t think I do!
It seems like we’re seeing a lot more orange blushes this summer than we used to. It’s nice that it’s easier to find a orange shade to suit one’s skin tone.
I agree! Yellow-ish oranges and browns are seeing some love in blush & lipstick!
