8th Muse (High Intensity) (Blush) is a deep pink with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It appeared dewier initially, but once applied and diffused on my skin, it dried down and had more of a satin finish--skin-like but not wet-looking.
It had semi-opaque to opaque coverage in a single layer, which was definitely "double the pigment" compared to the regular version of this shade, and it was also much deeper and brighter. I felt like for those who wanted a lighter or sheerer pink, it needed a lighter hand to achieve that, so it was best suited for those who want or need greater intensity.
The product spread easily, while it sheered out somewhat but definitely retained a lot of its pigment. I didn't have issues applying this over bare skin or over foundation. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.
