Wildcats

ColourPop Wildcats Pressed Powder Blush ($12.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a very light, peachy-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It looked pretty subpar when I initially swatched on my arm, but it applied quite well to my cheeks–like in a way that even had me going, “Whoa,” in surprise.

Semi-sheer to medium, buildable coverage
Lightweight, thin, finely-milled and moderately powdery
Blendable, picked up readily with a brush, a touch dry on drier skin
Long-wearing (eight hours is typical for this formula)

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.
