Formula Overview

$38.00/0.12 oz. - $316.67 Per Ounce

The formula is described as "ultra-finely milled" that has a "soft focus, glowy effect" and "buildable, blendable" coverage that lasts. The powder blush had a very smooth, silky texture that was, as described, finely-milled without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan.

There was a velvety quality to the powder that made it incredibly easy to apply and to diffuse on bare skin or on top of foundation. I also found that the glowy aspect was there: skin looked slightly radiant without being overtly shimmery (except for one blush shade which had actual, visible shimmer).

On my normal-to-dry skin, the formula lasted eight to nine hours with the more mid-tone and deeper hues lasting closer to nine hours on me before they started to fade gradually and evenly.
