The formula is supposed to be pigmented, long-wearing, and blendable (for more on how it compares to the previous formula, check out this post). This blush was very pigmented, and the texture was soft, finely-milled, and smooth, but it wasn’t dusty or powdery, so it didn’t sheer out immediately upon being blended. It was easy to maneuver and diffuse the edges of the blush on the skin for a very blended look. This shade wore well for just over eight hours on me before I noticed slight fading.

Oh strange, I think you might have a bad batch. have Milani Awakening Rose and Blossomtime Rose Blush, and mine don’t smell at all, not even when I shove my nose super close to the pan. There is a small amount of rose hip oil in there (very last ingredient), but it doesn’t bother me, and my cheeks are normally super sensitive to fragrance.

Wearing this today..sun. Hadn’t dipped into the new mugs from the sale too often. On me, it’s much cooler, or maybe mauvier, less neutral than exposed or unearthed. Much closer to the pan color than on your swatch, or in the look. I tend to forget how our skintones skew colors, until I se an example like this. Quite like it, enough for twice this week.
