Beauty Care: ColourPop Bundled Up Blush Review & Swatches

Bundled Up

ColourPop Bundled Up Pressed Powder Blush ($10.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium pink with soft, warm undertones paired with a more matte finish with faint gold micro-sparkles sprinkled throughout. There were enough sparkles that visibly showed up on my skin that it would be a product better for someone who likes a more glittery/sparkling finish.

It had medium, buildable pigmentation, which was as marketed, that applied well to bare skin and blended out without difficulty. The consistency was thinner and more powdery than ideal as there was a noticeable amount of powder that kicked up and got everywhere else. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

$10.00/0.13 oz. - $76.92 Per Ounce

The formula 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.
