She's Baked (Crème)

She’s Baked (Crème) is a medium-dark plum with warm, red undertones and a natural finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable color coverage paired with a lightweight, emollient texture that was spreadable but not so tacky or slippery that it was prone to lifting up base products. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

The cream blush had a lightly creamy, moderately emollient consistency that applied evenly and blended out well over bare skin as well as over liquid foundation. In the duo format, the cream blush is actually designed to be layered over the powder (rather than typically under it) to add "life" back to the skin. It layered well on top of the blush to add a bit of shine without turning it into a full-on cream.

The pigmentation was sheer and buildable to semi-sheer to medium coverage, which seemed in line with the brand's marketing (though they could do a better job describing it). On its own, it lasted around six hours before fading/migrating noticeably. When I wore it on top of the powder blush, it seemed to shorten wear by a half hour to an hour.

She's Baked (Powder)

She’s Baked (Powder) is a medium-dark, coppery brown with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable, albeit a little on the powdery side in the pan, but yielded full pigmentation with little product. It wore well for nine hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

The powder blush was supposed to be "pigmented" and "weightless." The consistency was soft, lightly powdery in the pan, but it had a smoother, denser feel to it that was almost velvety without being overly firm. The powder picked up well with a brush and yielded semi-opaque to opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly and blended out easily. The formula lasted around nine hours on its own, but layering the coordinating cream shortened wear by half hour to an hour.
