Formula Overview
$9.50/0.317 oz. - $29.97 Per Ounce
The Signature Ombre Blush is supposed to have a "silkly formula that easily blends" while having "high pigment payoff." The key takeaway with the formula is that it had incredibly high pigmentation, so those who tend to be heavy-handed with blush may find this harder to work with. Those who prefer more pigmented formulations will likely enjoy this formula.
One really needed a light tap of product for application, but in order to get an even mix/swirl of the gradient of shades, you really had to swirl the brush and pick up quite a bit of product, so I'd recommend tapping off excess and potentially using a second, clean tool for blending out.
The powder was smooth, finely-milled, and blendable and was fairly forgiving, despite the high color payoff. They applied evenly and stayed on well for eight to nine hours on me.

Ooh! Love it! Yes, it’s a bit light, but I believe that the brightness and clarity of it would still make it show up on me somehow. And, can we just admire the artful design of this embossing along with the ombre coloration??? 🥹
I personally really like ombre blushes – not as many around these days as several years ago. It would be the warmer elements to this blush that wouldn’t work for my cooler undertones.
