RomCom
ColourPop RomCom Pressed Powder Blush ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark coral with warm, pink undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation that applied decently but did not blend out as nicely as I would have expected. I felt like I had to buff the product in quite a bit, which would disturb base products, so I had to be careful. The best technique I found for applying the blush well was to powder the skin with translucent powder first, and then apply the blush, as this helped it blend better and require less buffing. The powder felt smooth to the touch but was moderately powdery in the pan. On me, it lasted for eight hours.

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.

Hope you’ll turn the other cheek, too….as in review it. If this shade is needed, will stash it with Savage from despair. This is fairly underperforming for a CP, but after your fussing with it, looks very lovely on you.
Pretty color, thankfully I have a dupe though. Putting down translucent powder then buffing out the blush is a little too much work. I do use translucent blush to help tone down blushes sometimes though.
Too bad that CP did not nail the formula on this shade. It really is such a good shade for adding some serious face brightening! But it sounds like a total pain to apply, though.
It’s a really lovely shade and it would/could have been much better to apply. Very pretty on you Christine.
Ugh, pretty color, cute name, needs a better formula. I think CP is cranking out way too much stuff nowadays
What a shame, because I love the color!
