Beauty Care: ColourPop Fashion District Blush Review & Swatches

Fashion District

ColourPop Fashion District Pressed Powder Blush ($8.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a brighter, medium brown with warm, more orange undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had more opaque color coverage, rather than buildable as marketed, but it was easy to apply with a lighter hand and build up coverage if desired.

The texture was soft, smooth, and a little powdery in the pan but applied evenly and blended out nicely without looking dry or powdery on my skin. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

$8.00/0.13 oz. - $61.54 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.
