ColourPop Virtual Reality Super Shock Cheek Review & Swatches
Virtual Reality
ColourPop Virtual Reality Super Shock Cheek ($8.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a deeper coral that leaned slightly more orange paired with a matte finish. I’ve always found the matte finish Super Shocks to be a little less intuitive to use compared to the shimmery ones, and this shade was no exception.
- Medium, buildable coverage
- Firmer, denser texture, less slip
- Could have been easier to pick up/blend out
- Long-wearing (10 hours)

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.15 oz. - $53.33 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.

Yeah, I definitely agree with you about the matte formula of this particular product being trickier, Christine. That said, this is a very pretty looking shade, although it makes me think of spring….as does her entire collection.
