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, I would say, after two to three layers) that blended out easily on the skin. The finish was mostly matte, but it didn’t look dry or chalky on me. The powder had a firmer feel to it, so there wasn’t a lot of excess powder kicked up, but the color didn’t seem difficult to pick up even with very soft brushes. On me, the color wore well for eight and a half hours, which is good wear compared to most powder blush formulas I’ve tried, but it is short of the 12-hours claimed. I think this blush is more suitable for someone looking for sheerer coverage and isn’t concerned about all-day wear–otherwise, it’s a miss.

Doesn’t look great in the swatch, but it does look nice on your skin.
Yeah, it’s pretty on, so I think if someone likes the color and doesn’t mind a sheerer blush, it’ll still work.
Too bad, I think the finish is too sheer for me.
I hear ya!
Swatch looks meh, feel there’s better dupes out there
I agree 🙁
I’m so surprised that this shade is not living up to the Tarte quality! It reminds me a lot of an older MAC blush I used to love, and would have loved to try it in this formula!
Aww, bummer! 🙁
But your look is lovely! And the blush goes very well with it too. 🙂
Thanks!
Not my color, but it really looks great on you.
Thank you, Rachel!
Ok, so even though this blush is a serious miss for me, I must tell you how wonderful the rest of this look you put together is: Absolutely fabulous!!!
(Puts Rave and a bunch of eyeshadows on wishlist!)?
Thank you, Nancy!
Thanks for featuring a post on this. I have been looking for something exactly like this. Going to go for it. I have been looking for this particular color and the tarte blush formula is a longer wearing blush on me. I am a tad lighter than you and don’t mind a buildable blush so long as it blends out.
Perfect 🙂
Wow – Christine you have really outdone yourself this time – your makeup looks fabulous.
Aw, thank you!
It looks better on the face for sure, but not good enough.
Totally understand!
Color of the blush looks very pretty, I might get it for me. I also love your lipstick, would you mind to tell me brand and color please?
