Rumours

ColourPop Rumours Cheek Dew Serum Blush ($7.00 for 0.48 oz.) is a muted, orange-red with subtle, warm undertones and a soft sheen. It appeared more orange when initially squeezed out of the tube, but it was a sheerer product and looked redder (but warm-toned) in practice.

The consistency was very emollient, runny, and difficult to work with over bare skin as well as over foundation. The product slid around too easily, which resulted in patchy, uneven coverage that did not build up well and often lifted away, even if I gave it some time to dry down. The dry down wasn’t a full dry down, so some dewiness was still visible, but it did not feel tacky to the touch. There was visible fading present after six hours of wear.

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.
