Melt Cosmetics Polished Cream Blushlight ($22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a darker, pinky-coral with moderate, warm undertones and subtle pearl throughout a natural finish. It was richly pigmented where a little went a long way, and with the more emollient texture, it was easier to build up than it was to diffuse and sheer out if one over-applied.
The consistency was creamy, smooth, and emollient with good spreadability and blendability, as it did not look like it settled into my skin nor did it lift up base products when I tested it over foundation. With this shade, I found a brush gave me more even, blended results with less effort (which was how I applied it for actual wear; in the photos, I used fingertips, and I have some post-acne marks that are making it look a bit less even than it was to my eye in person--sorry about the state of my skin!). I felt like fingertips worked well, but it just took a little longer to get the best result. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.
