The Best & Worst of ColourPop Pressed Powder Blushes
ColourPop Glass Slipper Pressed Powder Blush
ColourPop Pressed Powder Blush ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is supposed to go on “smoothly” and have a “natural and healthy flush” that has “long wear” and “can be layered to your desired intensity.” It is a lightly to moderately powdery powder blush with semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable color payoff. The consistency has a drier, thinner feel and though it feels silky to the touch, I found it the type of powder blush can be tricky to blend out evenly on the skin, depending on one’s skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin/base, the better the formula would blend, but any natural oils or slip caused the blush to go on unevenly and was difficult to blend out. The wear was between seven and eight hours on me on average.

Well, that’s a pretty sad group from ColourPop.
I see no winners here.
Depressing! The colors are pretty, but CP needs to go back to the drawing board with the formula
🙁 ColourPop needs a formula overhaul for these.
