Beam

Stellar Beauty Beam Cosmic Blush ($25.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium pink with warm undertones and a satin sheen. The consistency was very soft but incredibly powdery, so there was a lot of excess powder that came away from the surface, even with a light touch, which made it messier to work with. (I’d also be slightly concerned for anyone who has much drier skin than I, in case it exacerbates flakiness.) It had semi-sheer, buildable coverage (up to semi-opaque) that applied evenly and blended out easily. It wore well for six and a half hours on me before fading.

The formula is supposed to have a “translucent wash of pigment” that has a “subtle glow” and “long-wear” that “builds easily to a strong, lustrous finish.” There are only three shades in the range presently, and the pigmentation was more semi-sheer to medium in coverage, buildable with a very soft texture–but so soft that there was a ton of excess powder kicked up in the pan even with a light touch and a soft brush. They have a luminous finish on the skin, but they only last six to seven hours on me, which is shorter than average.

Stellar Beauty Flare Cosmic Blush ($25.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a fair amount of gold shimmer. It had medium coverage, which was buildable to semi-opaque coverage, if desired. The powder felt silky to the touch–very finely-milled–but was much looser in the pan and ended up somewhat powdery. When I applied to my cheeks, it blended out nicely and ended up looking luminous but not dry or dusty. This shade wore well for seven hours before fading on me.
