It had opaque color coverage--not what I would consider buildable!--with a smooth, silky consistency that had some powderiness in the pan but did not appear dry applied to the cheeks. Even with a light hand a mere tap of my brush into the pan yielded a lot of coverage quickly, so the blush would be more suitable for someone who wants higher coverage out of their blushes.

Even with a light hand a mere tap of my brush into the pan yielded a lot of coverage quickly, so the blush would be more suitable for someone who wants higher coverage out of their blushes.  The texture seemed creamier and was easier to diffuse along the edges, and I did not struggle with unevenness in the initial application as I have with other shades in the formula.  This shade wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.</p><p class="sans-serif f-3"><strong>FURTHER READING</strong>:

                    <p class="f-2 text-sm-right sans-serif text-uppercase">$12.00/0.28 oz. - <span class="text-gray">$42.86 Per Ounce</span></p><p>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.</p>
