Why, Hello

ColourPop Why, Hello Pressed Powder Blush ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The blush had a very powdery, almost clumpy, consistency that felt silky to the touch but dry upon application. It had semi-sheer coverage, which was hard to build up as the powder didn’t adhere to itself well, so I just wasn’t able to get much more than medium coverage out of it. When I blended it out, the color tended to lift and sheer away, but at least it did not look splotchy. It wore well for six hours before fading noticeably.

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.

These seem like such a disappointment considering how good the super shock cheek products are! 🙁

I am normally happy to spring for Colourpop without having seen swatches or reviews because most of their products are really good, plus they’re inexpensive – but I hesitated over the pressed powder blushers (mostly because the colour range didn’t seem very exciting) and now I’m glad I did!

Thanks for the review, even if it is an F…

I just purchased four blushes from Coffret D’Or through Tohisha on IG and I am hoping that they will be a nice formula and hopefully round out my collection. I have a couple of SS cheeks from ColourPop but have never really found a shade that I absolutely love. The quality was fine just nothing that really spoke to me.
