Kaleidos Sanguine Mono Blush Review & Swatches
Sanguine
Kaleidos Sanguine Mono Blush ($18.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a vivid, medium red with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich color coverage in a single layer, so using a very light-hand was necessary to achieve sheerer, more buildable coverage, if desired.
The texture was lightweight, smooth, and finely-milled with a touch of powderiness in the pan. The product applied evenly to bare skin and blended out without too much effort. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$18.00/0.18 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce
The formula is described as being "blendable" and "long-lasting" with a "soft-matte" finish. The blushes were pigmented, blendable, and easy enough to work with, though they were lightly to moderately powdery (depending on the shade), so I felt like they did not sit as well on drier areas of my skin. They seemed to work particularly well over foundation, though. They wore for eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Mmm! That softer, more raspberry tone of red looks so good for winter! Love the sheen to it also!
I bought this one and really love it. I use a fluffy brush and a light hand, and it’s extremely flattering. I love that it doesn’t sheer or blend out to turn pinkish or orangish.
I really love the tones of all of these blushes and was so tempted by this shade. Ultimately, I decided it would be too rich of a color for me, as I have a very hard time keeping my blush sheer. I went with Sunburnt and Dreamwalk instead, both very unique colors to my makeup stash. They’re so beautiful!
