Oh She's Different

Patrick Ta Oh She’s Different Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush ($34.00 for 0.37 oz.) contains a more mid-tone, red-based plum with subtle to moderate warm undertones in a cream as well as a powder form. The cream was sheerer in coverage with a subtle, dewy sheen, while the powder was opaque and had a satin finish that looked skin-like (without being shimmery) on its own, but the cream blush did add a little more shine to it.

Oh She's Different (Crème)

Oh She’s Different (Crème) is a medium, reddish-plum with subtle, warm undertones and a subtle, dewier sheen. The texture was emollient, thin, and lightweight with noticeable slip and wetness when it was applied, though it dissipated and had a more low-key sheen when spread out and diffused. It had semi-sheer color coverage that could be built up to medium coverage with a second layer.

It applied easily over the powder blush and added a subtle sheen to it and altering the color to be slightly less warm-toned, and I felt like it sheered out the powder blush slightly, so you might want to go “heavy” on the powder blush with that in mind. On its own, it worked well over bare skin and foundation as it did not lift up my base products. It lasted for seven hours on its own, and it seemed to shorten the wear of the powder blush by half hour when layered on top.

Formula Overview

The cream blush had a lightly creamy, moderately emollient consistency that applied evenly and blended out well over bare skin as well as over liquid foundation. In the duo format, the cream blush is actually designed to be layered over the powder (rather than typically under it) to add "life" back to the skin. It layered well on top of the blush to add a bit of shine without turning it into a full-on cream.

The pigmentation was sheer and buildable to semi-sheer to medium coverage, which seemed in line with the brand's marketing (though they could do a better job describing it). On its own, it lasted around six hours before fading/migrating noticeably. When I wore it on top of the powder blush, it seemed to shorten wear by a half hour to an hour.

Oh She's Different (Powder)

Oh She’s Different (Powder) is a medium, reddened plum with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. The texture was incredibly smooth, velvety, and more substantial–dense and “thick” in a way–which picked up readily with a brush without being too powdery.

It yielded opaque pigmentation in a single layer, but I could use a lighter hand for more buildable coverage if desired. The blush applied evenly to my skin and diffused well along the edges. It stayed on well for nine hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

The powder blush was supposed to be "pigmented" and "weightless." The consistency was soft, lightly powdery in the pan, but it had a smoother, denser feel to it that was almost velvety without being overly firm. The powder picked up well with a brush and yielded semi-opaque to opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly and blended out easily. The formula lasted around nine hours on its own, but layering the coordinating cream shortened wear by half hour to an hour.
