Beauty Care: Kaleidos Sunburnt Mono Blush Review & Swatches

Ecstasy

Kaleidos Sunburnt Mono Blush ($18.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a brighter, medium pink with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in one layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out without difficulty. The texture was smooth, finely-milled, and somewhat powdery in the pan, so it was more flattering when worn over foundation than on my bare skin (which was slightly dry at the time of testing). It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

$18.00/0.18 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce

The formula is described as being "blendable" and "long-lasting" with a "soft-matte" finish. The blushes were pigmented, blendable, and easy enough to work with, though they were lightly to moderately powdery (depending on the shade), so I felt like they did not sit as well on drier areas of my skin. They seemed to work particularly well over foundation, though. They wore for eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.
