Before trying the elf putty blush, I had no idea what staying power looked like for blushes! This formula is incredible. It's creamy, buildable, and easy-to-blend. My favorite way to apply is dotting it onto my cheeks with fingers, blending with a fluffy brush, then after the setting powder dotting and blending once more with fingers. I still have visible, soft blush by the end of the night! Bali is a gorgeous color for medium-to-tan skinned people. Lively and impactful. The depth is perfection. I can especially recommend this for neutral and golden undertones. POC friends, get it!

Wow, this is a beautiful soft coral pink! It was metallic on my lids with an inner brightness to it. Definitely buildable, but tough to get it up to full opacity, hence the 4-stars.

I assumed Stormy would be so pretty based on Christine's swatch, but I was disappointed to find it was anything but. First, let me say I always use glitter primer with shimmery shades. Even with that, Stormy was hard to blend, powdery, and--most devastatingly--NOT shimmery! Ugh, it was like rubbing coal dust on my lids. Rather than a shimmering teal sparkle, my eye look was straight from the 90s grungy heroin chic era. Not cute, not welcome! It also creased like crazy, emphasizing lines around my eyes in a couple hours. I looked... as if life had defeated me. I guess I'm giving Stormy 2/5 stars because at least it did have some pigment and a little glitter. But warning to anyone entranced by Christine's preliminary swatch: this color is MUCH darker and duller on the eyes than it appears here. This is certainly a purchase I regret.

Absolutely stunning, especially on mature skin. Colourpop's unique supershock formula delivers another hit! Gorgeous on brown skin.

I'm delighted by these rich jewel tones! I'm enjoying the colors, the buttery slip of the shadows, and the unreal intensity with which they apply. The Subversive Mini was a first toe dip into the mystical Mother Pat waters for me, and I'd love to see more similarly sized palettes from PMG.

Pigmented, blendable, and very brown girl-friendly! This is the luminous blush I've been searching for!
