Lethal Cosmetics Adorned Magnetic Face Powder Review & Swatches
Adorned
Lethal Cosmetics Adorned Magnetic Face Powder (Blush) ($15.50 for 0.18 oz.) is a vivid, cherry red with cooler undertones and a subtle, luminous sheen. It was more amplified in sheen than true satin but the shimmer was very finely-milled.
- Mostly opaque coverage (needed a very light hand to be buildable) — supposed to buildable
- Finely-milled, smooth, not too firmly nor too loosely pressed
- Blendable, easy to apply
- Long-wearing (9 hours typical for this formula)

Formula Overview
$15.50/0.18 oz. - $86.11 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to blend "effortlessly" and "build" to a "luminous matte" finish and "any intensity with ease." In general, they had medium, buildable coverage that easily built up to mostly opaque to opaque coverage.
Per the brand, they recommend "tapping" rather than swirling one's brush, which I'd agree with for picking up more buildable pigment--swirling or heavier motions could yield more opaque coverage in one go (which could be desired).
The texture was moderately dense, smooth, and not powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan, so the product picked up well with more feathery brushes as well as denser brushes.
As I applied the powder and buffed it into my skin, they had a more semi-matte to natural matte finish--not flat or dry but not overly shimmery either. They looked more "melted" on my skin, which gave them a better and more flattering finish applied. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading visibly.

Pretty! Perfect for either end of the ski depth spectrum, too, as I can see it having enough pigmentation for richer skintones while also being perfect for very light, pinkish skintones, too.
Lethal cosmetics have ccreated a really good set of blushes here in a wide variety of shades and this one is pretty good too.
No way José on more! But a very pretty color perhaps for deep tones or those who like popping cheeks.
Oops, autocorrect “on more” = on me
