Make Up For Ever B314 Artist Face Color (Blush) Review, Photos, Swatches
B314
Make Up For Ever B314 Artist Face Color – Blush ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium, pink-coral with warm undertones and fine, golden pearl. The pearl gave it a satin-to-pearl finish where it became more luminous the more I buffed and blended the powder on my skin. It had rich, opaque color payoff in a single layer, but the moderately dense, smooth texture made it easy to pickup less product for sheerer coverage as well. The blush stayed on well for nine hours on me before fading slightly.

Formula Overview
$23.00/0.17 oz. - $135.29 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "intense color payoff" with a "long-lasting finish." The range is split into three types--Highlighters, Sculpting Powders, and Blushes--that is easy to determine by the first letter of the shade name (H for Highlighter, S for Sculpting, and B for Blush).
There are three finishes--matte, shimmer, and pearl but was less obvious. In fact, the majority of the "matte" shades were more like semi-matte or natural matte where there were no distinctive shimmer particles but they seemed to take on the natural finish of the skin, which gave the "mattes" a particularly seamless finish on the skin but might be dewier on oilier skin types than desired. None of the 34 shades available were frosted or metallic except three of the highlighters (H100, H106, H312).
The pigmentation ranged from medium to opaque, depending largely on the shade, though they were always buildable if they were not opaque in a single layer. Some of the deeper, more matte shades were less forgiving and took more effort to diffuse and blend, even when I used a lighter hand or a more feathery brush. The texture was smooth, velvety, and moderately dense without any powderiness or dustiness in the pan. The formula has lasted between eight and ten hours on me.

What a stunning blush! I love the finish and the youthful effect it give.
I will definitely get it once I make a trio!
Yay! 🙂
Oooh, this is a pretty peach shade!
Isn’t it? 🙂
If I didn’t already have MAC Spring Flock, with The Balm Hot Mama on my WL, I would so get this beauty! This has that very refined radiance while worn on your cheeks that I definitely believe would be quite flattering to a wide range of skintones. At least up into probably NC45, I’d think.
So many great corals, so few cheeks!
What a beautiful color!!! I need it! And I don’t have any close dupes! ?
It’s a beauty!
Love! Adding to the list. Definitely getting a trio and if my skin loves the formula, perhaps multiple trios.
I hope your skin works well with the formula, Maggie!
I can’t resist commenting on this post – I can’t believe that every colour has impressed me so far – I hope MUFE comes out with a value set for the holidays! I’d love to stock up on a few shades!
Wow, that is quite the feat!
Ohhh, this one is really great, I’m loving it.
Woohoo!
This is so pretty! Love this!
Me too!
Wow – now that is a perfect coral shade – love, love, love.
It’s a gorgeous coral!
I’m always a sucker for coral blush, and this one is really beautiful.
Me too 😀
