The Baked Blush-n-Brighten formula is supposed to be “smooth” and “long-wearing” with “a blend of rich, marbleized color.” It had mostly opaque coverage, which was easily built-up to true-to-pan color with another layer of product. The texture of this one was smooth but firmer in the pan than other shades, which made it less blendable than the other shades, though I wouldn’t say it was difficult to blend, just not as effortless as the other shades. It has a stronger finish and more obvious shimmer, and at more opaque coverage, it emphasized pores slightly. On me, it wore well for eight hours.

It is a pretty color but probably too deep for my complexion. I would consider the UD Strip Bronzer when it is time for replacement.
