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. This shade was a true matte, even when applied and blended down, so it may look too flat for some. It had medium coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage. The consistency was soft, finely-milled, and thin, but it still blended out well on the skin and only darkened slightly (from the natural oils on the skin). This shade wore nicely for seven hours before fading on me.

I like it, very soft and pretty.
I agree!
Hmm, this is an interesting color for me, since I don’t think I’ve tried anything like it. I usually prefer my blushes to be brighter and more colorful, but this could look good for a soft, natural look
It is good for a more neutral look!
This is a pretty shade, and it mostly delivers. Not bad. Thanks always for your expert and honest reviews!
My pleasure, Chris!
I like the color. The full face picture isn’t showing up for me.
Fixed! Thank you!
Thank you! I can see it now. It’s even prettier on the cheeks than in the swatch.
Even though this is matte and sheer, I like it kind of. I could see how it would work well especially for oiler skins or with very strategic highlighter application.
It could!
It does! I have oily skin and this blush with the balm loumanizer highlighter looks beautiful.
Very pretty colour.
It is!
I love this color!!
Yay!
Ok, so obviously this wouldn’t show up on my medium olive skin tone, BUT I definitely see its potential on fairer skinned people than myself. It would make a lovely natural peachy blush on say, an NC15 or NW13 and lighter!
Would work well on fair skin!
OH! OH! OH! Brainstorm! Lol they happen so rarely I get excited. Ok, so I was checking out shades for the Ulta sale and this blush layered with UD’s fireball highlight would be stunning….maybe….I just had the brainstorm but I bet it would be good. What do you think?
