Lethal Cosmetics Hybrid Magnetic Face Powder Review & Swatches
Hybrid
Lethal Cosmetics Hybrid Magnetic Face Powder (Blush) ($14.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a darker lavender with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. The powder took on a softer, more natural matte finish–so not shimmery or shiny but not totally flat–that was kinder to skin texture and seemed to make the product easier to blend out overall.
It had buildable pigmentation from medium to opaque (two to three layers) with a smooth, more velvety texture that wasn’t too dense nor too softly-pressed into the pan. It lasted well for eight hours before fading slightly.

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.

I really love it! But having UD Bittersweet, I feel like I have my one purple fix for those days when that’s just what the doctor ordered! 💜
I think this would look wicked with a shimmery bronze highlighter layered over it.
I LOVE this color! WOW, I really need a purple blush now.
Looks as if Lethal nailed the finish on these. So far, so good.
Love it.
