Urban Decay Sesso Naked Flushed Cheek Palette Review, Photos, Swatches

Sesso

Urban Decay Sesso Naked Flushed Cheek Palette ($34.00 for 0.49 oz.) includes a bronzer, highlighter, and blush poured into a single pan (so each shade does touch!) with the bronzer taking up the most space and the highlighter taking up the least. Each shade is supposed to be “intensely pigmented” and “blend beautifully.” The bronzer and highlighter were lovely to work with–pigmented, long wearing, and blendable–but the blush was under-pigmented and harder to blend out.

Sesso (Bronzer)

Sesso (Bronzer) is a medium-dark brown with warm, golden pearl and warmer, yellow undertones. The consistency was incredibly smooth, dense without being too thick or too firm in the pan, and very easy to blend out on the cheeks. It had rich pigmentation that applied evenly to the skin and lasted for eight hours on me.

Sesso (Highlighter)

Sesso (Highlighter) is a soft, peachy beige with warm undertones and a frosted finish. The color payoff was intense, so a little went a long way (good thing, as it was the smallest shade in the palette!). The texture was smooth, cream-like (denser, not at all powdery), and blendable on the skin and did not emphasize my skin’s texture. It wore well for eight hours before fading on me.

Sesso (Blush)

Sesso (Blush) is a muted, medium-dark pinky plum with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable coverage (up to semi-opaque) with a soft, powdery texture that was thinner and drier compared to the other two shades. It was harder to blend out evenly on the skin, but it was manageable with enough effort. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me.
