Beauty Care: Lethal Cosmetics Nectar Magnetic Face Powder Review & Swatches

Nectar

Lethal Cosmetics Nectar Magnetic Face Powder (Blush) ($14.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a light-medium, pink-leaning coral with a satin finish. It had buildable pigmentation from medium to opaque (two to three layers or a heavier hand) that applied evenly to my skin and diffused easily along the edges.

It darkened about half a shade when applied over bare skin but would retain its color trueness if applied over setting powder or a matte foundation. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$14.00/0.18 oz. - $77.78 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to blend "effortlessly" and "build" to a "luminous matte" finish and "any intensity with ease." In general, they had medium, buildable coverage that easily built up to mostly opaque to opaque coverage.

Per the brand, they recommend "tapping" rather than swirling one's brush, which I'd agree with for picking up more buildable pigment--swirling or heavier motions could yield more opaque coverage in one go (which could be desired).

The texture was moderately dense, smooth, and not powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan, so the product picked up well with more feathery brushes as well as denser brushes.

As I applied the powder and buffed it into my skin, they had a more semi-matte to natural matte finish--not flat or dry but not overly shimmery either. They looked more "melted" on my skin, which gave them a better and more flattering finish applied. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading visibly.
