The Color Source Buildable Blush formula is supposed to offer–you guessed it–buildable color coverage with a “silky-smooth” consistency available in matte and satin finishes. The softer, more finely-milled consistency of the powder made this a lot easier to use, as it blended out well, and it could be sheered out slightly as well. With such a deep shade, having a lot of blendability is key. It was semi-opaque to opaque in pigmentation, which is a bit higher coverage than most of the shades in the range that I have tried myself, but it should work exceptionally well on deeper skin tones as a result. Those who like sheerer or softer blush, I would recommend a fan brush and a light hand. The finish has a nice, luminous sheen to it that looked natural and not overtly shimmery on. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

A little intimidating, but a beautiful color. And you are really killing it in this look! So pretty.
Thanks a lot, Julia!
pairs well with the ABH renaissance!
It does!!
This is GORGEOUS on you! I wonder if I could pull that off or if it would be too much…pasty copper top…
Thank you, Ame!
Nice, but duped multiply by stash. Gotta cut down on getting that type of product. You must have a b/u of good mood as well as love lust. My good mood is quite nubby. Think you are at least on your second. What a winner good mood is, seriously.
Love Lust, I do, though I’m not even close to finishing the original!
Wow, this is super pigmented!! Nice to see that Lorac didn’t forget about the medium to darker tone beauties. Love your makeup look here, the blush goes well with the Anastasia Renaissance palette
It is rich!
I like the look of this but I’m not sure how it would look on me. the finish is really nice.
I think with a light hand, it would be great!
great look, christine!
Thanks, Anne!
I might need this for fall.
Awesome! 🙂
Too dark for me, but I think it’s an absolutely stunning color. I love the finish, too.
The finish is nice!
What a lovely, rich shade! I love it!
Not so sure I really need it, though, as I do have Clinique Cola Pop? Not certain how close they would look applied? But these type of rich shades are a weakness for me.
I think Cola Pop is close, but the finish is different!
This might be my favorite look on you — you look so pretty!
Aw, thanks Chris!
I need that lipgloss. I wish they sold it individually.
I hope they add it to the permanent range!
Oh gosh, you look lovely in this picture! The blush really is beautiful, but your choice of eyeliner is what catches my eye most. Nice!!
Thanks, Dandy!
I’m fair fair fair and I know you say medium skintones, do you think this wouldn’t suit me? It looks so great with the ABH palette and amazing on your tone! Do you have something you recommend pairing with that palette for fair skin tones?
If you like deeper shades, I think so! You might just have to use a lighter hand 🙂
Beautiful shade and finish, but the amount of product you get for the price is absurd…! If it came with more product it would be on my wishlist for sure.
