The Joues Contraste Blush formula is supposed to have a "silky, delicate texture" with "buildable coverage" that gives a "radiant glow." This is one of four exclusives to Chanel's website, though it has been released before (but I don't remember having it). Hyperfresh had mostly opaque color coverage, and it was less buildable than a lot of other Chanel blushes I've tried in the past. The consistency was thin, a little drier but had a softness to it that I'd expect from the formula. I struggled to spread and diffuse the color evenly across the cheeks, though, and I ended up having to cheat to soften the edges by using flesh-toned looser powder and a buffing brush. The blush stayed on the skin well for eight and a half hours.
