ColourPop Tumble 4 Ya Cheek Dew Serum Blush Review & Swatches
Tumble 4 Ya
ColourPop Tumble 4 Ya Cheek Dew Serum Blush ($7.00 for 0.48 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with muted, warm undertones and a soft sheen. The texture was very emollient and runny, which resulted in a formula that seemed overly fluid and was difficult to apply evenly, keep it in place, and diffuse without everything sliding around during application.
I tried to give it some time to dry down, but it was still very prone to just sliding over my skin without adhering evenly. It was sheer, and I wasn’t able to build up coverage because it was more apt to result in patchiness and even sheerer color than higher coverage. It lasted for five hours before fading noticeably.

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.

I wonder, when you squeeze the product out just onto your arm, do you think “hmm this seems like a workable liquid blush formula” or do you think “yikes… I’m not sure this is going to work…”
I wonder if they only tested the texture and appearance on their hands and arms and gave it the green light. Because it obviously isn’t translating well during application!
I actually squeeze them out onto the back of my hand and then transferred to my arm because I couldn’t do it directly without it being too wide of a swatch!
I was so tempted by these until you started reviewing them, Christine!
Well, I guess the one thing you could say about these is that at least they’re consistent…..consistently BAD!
