Editor's Review

Tarte Exposed Amazonian Clay Blush ($26.00 for 0.20 oz.) is muted, medium rosy mauve with warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. This shade has been part of the permanent range for awhile, but it is being repromoted alongside the three new shades, and I thought it was a good excuse to update photos/swatches of it as well as pull new dupes. The Amazonian Clay Blush formula is supposed to have 12-hour wear along with a "supremely soft" texture. It had semi-sheer, buildable coverage (up to semi-opaque) with a dusty, lightly powdery consistency that does kick up a noticeable amount of powder in the pan, but it didn't appear dry or chalky on the skin. The color wore well for eight hours, which is in line with most formulas for me, but it is below the length claimed. MAC Blushbaby (P, $24.00) is darker (90% similar). LORAC Cinematic (P, $23.00) is warmer (85% similar). Makeup Geek Puppy Love (P, $10.00) is darker (90% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Plum Ombre (LE, $55.00) is warmer (90% similar). bareMinerals The Love Letter (LE, $22.00) is cooler (85% similar). bareMinerals Golden Gate Matte (LE, $22.00) is warmer (90% similar). KIKO 105 Dark Rose (P, $12.00) is more shimmery, darker (90% similar). Tarte Risque (P, $29.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). Tarte Prim (LE, $29.00) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (85% similar). Kevyn Aucoin Capri (P, $58.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). Surratt Beauty La Vie En Rose (P, $32.00) is more shimmery, darker, warmer (85% similar). Estee Lauder Alluring Rose (P, $34.00) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (90% similar). KVD Beauty Piaf (Shade) (DC, ) is lighter, brighter (85% similar). Tarte Unearthed (LE, $29.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). Tarte Impress (LE, $29.00) is cooler (85% similar). Laura Geller Roseberry (P, $28.00) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter (85% similar). Urban Decay Fetish (DC, $26.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Tarte Seduce (P, $29.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar). Chanel Rose Bronze (02) (P, $45.00) is lighter, warmer (90% similar). Tarte Elevated (LE, $29.00) is lighter (90% similar).

They reformulated this highlighter, and now it is a glitterbomb on your face! I'm very disappointed; I loved the original but hate the new one.
