Formula Overview
$14.00/0.34 oz. - $41.18 Per Ounce
The powder blush formula is supposed to have "extreme color payoff that blends with ease." The brand goes as far as to state that "all is needed is one to two very light dips in your pan."
The blushes were very pigmented with a smooth, finely-milled texture that felt silky, thin but not clingy, and actually blended out quite well. If you're going to have an incredibly opaque formula, blendability is what saves it, and it was especially noticeable (and critical!) given that the finish of the range was matte. Pigmented, matte blushes can be hard to blend without putting on translucent/setting powder underneath, but these blended out well over bare skin as well as on top of foundation.
While pigmentation and opacity can be needed for certain shades to show up on deeper skin tones, these were definitely extremely pigmented as marketed--a very, very little could go a long way and still yield nearly opaque coverage. I would recommend these for people who are comfortable using more pigmented products, tend to layer their blush, or have no issues diffusing and going back in to soften color if necessary.
Most shades in the range lasted around nine hours before it seemed visibly faded with a few shades lasting longer or shorter.

Y’all know how much I love me a good purple blush or lipstick, but this one is just too cool-toned and probably to light to even look nice on me.
Can I pull off most purple blushes? No. Do I still love to see them? ABSOLUTELY!
I’d love to see a “douyin”/”ulzzang”/”k-beauty” kind of look with purple blushes, actually.
This is pretty! I could easily see myself having a lot of use for this shade of blush. I have to check the ones I already own, maybe I have something like it hidden away among the rarely used ones. I don’t think I do, but I hope.
I’ll come back to this post later when dupes are up, and I’m in no hurry, not going to buy anymore makeup this year anyway.
Goes away, muttering about inflation. 🙂
So glad to see small brands making vibrant, interesting, cool-toned blushes when most major brands are making everything warm and muted because current marketing algorithms decided thats what’s trendy.
As a dark-haired, fair-and-cool-toned person, this type of color is one of my best for blushes. This is what looks NATURAL on me! I’m curious to see your reviews of the other colors in this blush range!
This color is stunning!
