On the Cusp

ColourPop On the Cusp Super Shock Cheek (Highlighter) ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium peach with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had semi-sheer, buildable coverage applied with a synthetic brush and semi-opaque, buildable coverage when applied with a fingertip. The texture was smooth, lightly spongy, and a touch wet. It applied in a thin, even layer that applied well to bare skin as well as patted on top of foundation for a glowing finish that didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. This shade stayed on well for 10 hours before fading slightly.

Formula Overview

$10.00/0.15 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "buildable" coverage and can be applied with fingertips (which will yield "higher coverage") or a brush (for sheerer coverage). It's a cream-based product that has a subtle, "wet" feel to it but never has the thickness of a true cream-based blush.

It goes on with the smoothness of a cream formulation but diffuses and blends (without lifting up one's base) more like a powder product. The product sets to a powder finish, so the product won't slide around during the day.

On me, the wear tends to be between eight and 10 hours. Most shades have medium, buildable pigmentation with some being semi-opaque to opaque on occasion. They are typically blendable, easy to use, and long-wearing.
