Formula Overview

$49.00/0.19 oz. - $257.89 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "buildable, long-lasting color," which was somewhat true. I'd argue that they were pigmented enough that using a light-to-moderate hand was key to getting more buildable color application, but they were very blendable and more forgiving if one went overboard with the initial application of product.

The blushes had a smooth, silky texture that was thin without being clingy, so the powder picked up evenly with a brush and deposited for even, blended color with little effort. They wore around eight hours on average.

This shade is surprisingly good especially since I want the “sunburnt” appearance on my skin. It’s also safe to say that the formula is not disappointing, at least for me. I do hope Gucci doesn’t discontinue this shade.
