The Casual Colour formula is designed for use on lips and cheeks with a “non-sticky,” “lightweight,” and hydrating formula. As you might exect with a multi-tasking product, it is better in one area than the other; in the case of this formula, it’s better on the cheeks than on the lips. Applied as a blush, it goes on easily–blendable, smooth, and doesn’t lift product if used on top of foundation nor does it sit poorly on bare skin–and looks like stain, which wore for nine hours. Applied as a lip color, it is thin, clingy, and emphasizes the natural texture of the lips, and it is somewhat drying over the four and a half hours it lasted. Blind Score had semi-opaque coverage that was easily built up to opaque coverage or sheered out for sheerer coverage–it’s very easy to control and diffuse, particularly on cheeks. The thinness of the formula on lips makes it harder to sheer it out, but it is still buildable to opaque coverage on lips.

Very beautiful color.
Agreed!
When I saw the initial swatch, I was like, “I swear that looks like my CoverGirl blush in Deep Mauve!”, and I was right. It’s a gorgeous color, I love just looking at the color in the pan, but I’m covered
Nice! 😀
This is a beautiful blush color for fall!
Agreed — it definitely reminds me of fall!
I love this color on you!
Thank you!
Beautiful!!! Your eyes pair so well with the color!
Aw, thanks Cherie!
This is really lovely on you Christine. I guess I expected it to be darker when used as a lipstick but it is really nice. My hyper-pigmented lips would probably make this look weird!
Thanks so much, Deborah!
Wow, Christine. I hope you’re going out somewhere in that. What a knockout look on you!
Thank you, Linda!
Hey Christine, do you have plans to review the Make Up For Ever Artist Palette 4? as a rule I don’t trust Sephora reviews but they seem to be fairly consistently average and I’d love to get your take on it!
I hope to, but I’m not sure on timing right now!
Such a nice deep color!
It is!
hey I like this a lot better then I expected, hmm. Love this kind of blush shades! And I do not find it so horrible on your lips too. On the wishlist!
Woohoo! 😀
Very nice shade of plum! This really makes for a fresh, rosy cheek, not shabby as a lip stain, either. Although on lips, I would be slapping on a coat of sheer, sparkly lipgloss over it for oomph.
Gloss would help it as a lip product a lot!
Hi Christine! The color is fab on you. wgay did you use to apply it?
I’m sorry *what did you use to apply it?
I used a stippling brush for the blush, fingertips for the lips.
Wow, I never expected it to be so lovely
It has a nice finish!
Actually it looks way better than I thought it would (think clown). Very pretty.
Glad it turned out better than you expected!
I was worried when I saw the swatches but it applies beautifully as a blush. I’m surprised it’s as pigmented as it is as a lip product.
You could probably build it up a bit more, too!
This is really tempting! I love it as a cheek colour and I can easily put up with it as a lip colour by layering it under a gloss. It looks perfect for making sure I have some lingering colour throughout the day. I use my Benefit tints in a similar way.
If you like Benefit’s tints, then I could see you liking this!
When I remember I have it lol, Cha Cha Tint is amazing for using as a lip stain and layering a Bobbi Brown High Shimmer over the top. I often use Firefly because it’s such a glitter bomb, and alone it pulls too cool for me. I love it for a night out, minimal maintenance but still defined.
Very pretty look, Christine!
Thank you, Aradhana! 😀
This looks like Sleek Turbinado in Pink Sprint palette
That is great to know!
I just ordered this and the Pearlmatte! I tried Blind Score on in the store and I think it’s going to be my perfect fall and winter blush. Thanks for the review!
Enjoy ’em, Ashley! 🙂
