Dare to Soar

Wet ‘n’ Wild Dare to Soar ColorIcon Baked Blush ($4.99 for 0.19 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark pink with warmer undertones and cooler, violet shimmer. The texture was more firmly pressed in the pan with a denser, slightly drier texture than most of the other ColorIcon cheek colors I’ve tested, so a denser or slightly “rougher” brush worked best for picking up product but also for blending it. Some of my softer, airier brushes didn’t seem to blend and diffuse the edges as much as I needed with this particular shade as it had a tendency to adhere strongly wherever initially applied. It had good pigmentation that lasted for eight hours on me.

Formula Overview

$4.99/0.19 oz. - $26.26 Per Ounce

The formula is described as having a "mesmerizing tropical glow" with "micro-fine pearl pigments" that "blend beautifully onto the skin." The formula has a denser feel to it overall, and whether it was soft and yielding or dry and firmer depended on the shade. It was a fairly pigmented formula that lasted for eight hours on me. Two shades were easy to work with and blend out, but one was more troublesome, so the quality wasn't consistent across the range.
