Melt Cosmetics Nevermore Blushlight Review & Swatches
Nevermore
Melt Cosmetics Nevermore Blushlight ($22.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with strong, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which I’m sure some will appreciate, but the formula is supposed to have buildable coverage. The texture was soft, silky, and finely-milled with a smoothness that was lightweight and thin but still applied easily to bare skin and blended out well. It could be applied more gradually if one uses a lighter hand. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$22.00/0.13 oz. - $169.23 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be buildable and can be worn alone or layered with other blushes. I'd consider it a more pigmented blush formula; a few shades are soft and yielding enough to be used with a lighter hand or less-dense brush for sheerer, more buildable application, but most shades were semi-opaque to opaque in one layer. The texture ranged from smooth, lightly creamy to soft and slightly powdery (though finely-milled and silky to the touch!). They blended out fairly well, though a few shades could have been more blendable, and most shades lasted between seven and eight hours on me.

I had a hunch that Nevermore would receive a “Temptalia Recommends” sticker if approval! It just bowled me over at first swatch. Going to get this before autumn!
You know me well! 🙂
I love the color, the finish, and the name. I don’t have a single one of the dupes, either.
What a really lovely shade this is and I like the finish, very pretty on you too Christine.
