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.

Ingredients
Even though I know how CRAZY this would look on my medium depth olive undertone self, this one is so freakin’ tempting to me! I have UD Bittersweet and get away with wearing that, but this may just be a little bit cooler… 🤔
I have both and Lethal is definitely cooler than UD.
Thanks for the heads up (and $ saved), Carrie! Bittersweet is literally about as cool-toned as I can even remotely carry off.
Oh my! Yes, yes, yes to this blush! This one I have to get, it’s a beauty! Sorry for all the ! in this post, I feel excited. 😉
