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.

That color is stunning on you, Christine!
Ditto! I think this is a lovely orange! Again, if I had deeper skin I’d go for it (and maybe still, hmmm.)
I agree with Alicia Archer: “orange (cheek products) is having a moment!” 🧡
Floret is so incredibly summertime perfect! For me, it may wind up being a battle between this and Haus Fire Opal…might get both!
Check the dupes, Nancy. I think there’s one from Wanted 1 and Hot Tryst. I think I remember you really liking the latter.
God I wish these blazing orange blushes looked as good on me as they do on everyone else. I fell in love with the color and have picked up a few just to notice they never, ever mesh in to my skintone. I’m so jealous of how well you wear it!
This one is so pretty!
