The Colorful Blush formula is supposed to be long-wearing, buildable, and have a lightweight texture. My experience with the formula has shown that they’re soft, lightly powdery at times (some are worse than others) with semi-sheer to semi-opaque color coverage that blends fairly well and lasts seven to eight hours. There is some variance between shades, but there are some gems in the range. For fairer skin tones, this is going to work more as a highlighting blush, while medium and darker skin tones will find it more of a true highlighter that adds slight warmth but not a lot of noticeable color. The sheen it yields is lovely–glowing, luminous but never emphasizing. The texture was soft, blendable, and just a smidgen on the powdery side. On my normal-to-dry skin, it wore well for eight hours before showing signs of fading.

This is pretty. Might add it to my wishlist!
Nice! 🙂
Pretty, but for this shade I’d go with the ColourPop dupe.
Both are good picks! 🙂
Pretty. It’s nice to see Sephora Collection with some winning scores at an affordable price. But, I guess the ColourPop dupes are even more affordable. 🙂 I personally feel like I have this shade of highlighter duped too much in my stash so I will be passing likely.
It’s always nice to have a few options! Sephora’s major advantage is accessibility, I think!
Very nice shade! I already have ColourPop Highly Waisted, and also one of Nyx’s Illuminators in Narcissistic that looks much like this, but less shimmery.
Looks like you’re covered!
Pretty!
It is!
I have this one…it’s really pretty. I am pretty fair, so I can use it as a very subtle blush. I layered it with Tom Ford Love Lust blush, and that was really pretty.
Ooohhhh! I have to try that! Thanks for the idea, Pteetsa!
I’ve been meaning to look up your review on this since I bought it last week haha! It looks like a pinky peach on my very yellow medium-tan skin. I love the beautiful sheen (as opposed to shimmer/glitter), and I’m a little comforted that I don’t necessarily need Champagne Pop =P
Haha! Happy to hear you’re enjoying it, Brytni 🙂
Very pretty. Subtle and luminous, I like it.
Isn’t the finish great?
