Peach Berry
Too Faced Peach Berry Peach My Cheeks Melting Powder Blush ($30.00 for 0.44 oz.) is a muted, medium plum with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had medium coverage that was buildable to semi-paque pigmentation in two to three layers.
The consistency was thin, a real hybrid between cream and powder as it did not feel that wet or emollient in the pot, and as soon as the product touched skin, it seemed to feel quite powder-like. This particular shade was somewhat prone to sinking into the skin and making the area seemed dotted, as if the color filled my pores in places, which made it difficult to smooth, even coverage that was actually flattering to wear. It applied slightly more evenly over a base, but it then lifted the base product somewhat, so it created patchiness and clumpiness. The blush lasted for six hours before fading noticeably on me.

Formula Overview
$30.00/0.44 oz. - $68.18 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be a "cream-to-powder blush" that has "buildable color" and a "creamy, velvety texture" paired with a "radiant-matte finish." The consistency felt creamy to the touch, but it also felt a little powdery. It had a candy-coated shell initially--very shiny--but after one or two uses, the texture looked more matte and felt a lot drier. It seemed almost as if it was drying out over time, so ultimately, it felt more like a powder going on most of the time.
The texture was thinner and while it was no trouble to diffuse the product across the skin, it did not do so that evenly, and I noticed a lot of color that seemed to sit in my pores (like dots of deeper color). The coverage was more buildable when applied with a fingertip, but it was a challenge to get more coverage that was still blended as the color seemed to disappear as I blended it out (even just a little). The only way I could manage decent application was patting color on the apples of the cheeks with fingertips and lightly pressing to blend, and then going back with a bit of foundation actually blend out the edges. The wear was short end on bare skin at six to seven hours.
Over foundation, they were worse, as they lifted liquid foundations a lot, which resulted in uneven coverage and some unevenness in overall texture, too, as the cream-to-powder formula caused clumping with my liquid foundations (I tried three different ones with this blush formula).

Thanks! The dupe listed is for the discontinued formula, just FYI! 🙂
YIKES. Almost an F. These are one very *off* formula.
I really had higher hopes!
Adore the colour, but that formula. damn!
I wish it was better!
You have minuscule pores, that’s a travesty.
LOL!
I want to eat it. It looks yummy.
Haha 😉
I think Too Faced skimped on the formula and spent all the money on packaging and adverstising
It’s a shame – the packaging was really well-done (assuming you like the theme!).
