Formula Overview
$38.00/0.42 oz. - $90.48 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "mega pigmented" and "melt seamlessly" for a "second-skin finish." They were pigmented--mostly opaque to fully opaque--but the firmer, denser texture (though not stiff) made it easy to pick up less product simply by using a lighter hand or a less-dense brush.
The consistency felt like a softer take on a gel-hybrid formulation, as it was firm and dense but not stiff, yet there was some extra slip to it that I don't find in true gel-hybrid formulas (like the brand's own highlighters). The powder applied evenly and blended out with little effort, and they took on a soft matte finish--not flat or powdery but not overtly shimmery either.
They wore between eight and nine hours on me.

Even though I have UD Quiver, plus a couple berries in an older Nars cheek palette, I still would love to get this one next autumn since it’s giving me a “winter berry” feel. It’s a beautiful blush for us medium and darker peeps!
These Haus Labs blushes are just out of this world beautiful. I just wish they has a bit more of a sheen finish though for matte blushes, most of them look pretty “sheen-y” and luminous. I may have no choice but to buy one of these.
Too fushcia on the cheek for me, but the color in the palette as a lipstick would one I’d like to try.
