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.

Boy, is that an INTENSE one! The fact that it’s one that is difficult to get a sheerer wash of makes me a bit hesitant to purchase it even though I love the color a lot. Then again, I only apply my blush *after* I have done my all-over finishing powder, bronzer, and sometimes even my highlighter, so it may not be this level of BAM! color.
YIKES!!! Can this blush be applied more lightly or is that bright cheek pretty much the only result someone’s likely to get? It has such a good rating and it is such a pretty product! I just wish it was available in-store where I am so I could try it out.
It’s possible but hard – it is pretty pigmented!
What an outstanding blush for under $10! And it is so pigmented too – the brand is doing so well with its cosmetics.
