Formula Overview
$48.00/0.22 oz. - $218.18 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "silky" and "lightweight" texture that's long-wearing and have "buildable" intensity. The blushes had a smooth, lightweight consistency that was finely-milled, though not as silky as I would have expected, without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan.
The majority of the shades I tested had medium, buildable pigmentation that was hard to over-do but could definitely be intensified for higher coverage if desired. They applied evenly and blended out without issue, and they seemed to sit well on my skin with a semi-matte finish or higher. The more shimmery shades were still more low-level and had a sheen rather than overt shimmer that yielded a more metallic finish.
On my skin, most of the hues I trialed lasted eight hours before showing signs of fading. There was a soft, floral scent to the powders.

Very pretty on Christine! I may pick this one up. Not much else caught my eye in the Dior holiday collection this year but this is my kinda color for blush.
I don’t know, but I do have Nars Liberté, and that’s a listed “possible dupe”. Unfortunately, no swatch of Liberté showing.
That aside, I LOVE this Cosmic Coral blush! It’s a very fresh tone of coral veering into an orangish hue.
I could tell that the blush was more orangey than coral – it goes on so nicely though. Just love the formula.
