Moira My Darling Love Steady Liquid Blush Review & Swatches

Moira My Darling Love Steady Liquid Blush

My Darling

Moira My Darling Love Steady Liquid Blush ($8.50 for 0.17 oz.) is a light-medium coral with moderate, warm undertones that leaned slightly more orange-based than pink or red-based. It had a soft, dewy finish after blending it out on my skin, though it was not tacky to the touch.

  • Opaque pigmentation but wanted to sheer out during application (which seemed as marketed)
  • A little went a long way, use sparingly and build up as necessary
  • Lightweight, emollient, blendable
  • Applied well on top of bare skin or over foundation
  • Long-wearing (8 hours before showing signs of fading)

Formula Overview

$8.50/0.17 oz. - $50.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "buildable' while "delivering high pigment payoff" that "easily blends." There are two finishes--radiant and matte--with the latter drying down to a more powder-like finish that was matte and more long-wearing as a result (eight to nine hours). The radiant finish remained dewy without fully setting, though it didn't feel tacky and still had decent wear (seven hours).

Per the brand, they state to remove excess product from the over-sized, doe-foot applicator and then dot the product onto the apples of a cheeks using a "small amount" initially. The formula was forgiving in the sense that whatever was applied wanted to sheer out to more of a medium-level of coverage, but a little went a long way, so I would recommend one or two dots on cheeks at most. I preferred to put the dots on the back of my hand, then take my fingertip and gently diffused it there before patting onto my cheeks.

If you're someone who tends to be more heavy-handed, you might find using a stippling brush for application more ideal here. I tend to reach for a brush when a liquid or cream blush formula is more pigmented or where a "little goes a long way."
