The consistency felt like a whipped mousse and it dried out really quickly and even faster, which made building a cover a real challenge. When I was trying to build a product, it resulted in a more inconsistent application overall, and it was very prone to lifting base products. It was six hours before it faded a little.

The formula is said to have a “natural looking finish” with a beaten feel that is “not cake-like” and “lasts all day”. The pigmentation has been described as a “buildable flush” although it was more semi-transparent and harder to build up as the formula dries very quickly and is harder to fade out / apply without staining or lifting the original layer (or worse, foundation).
The bead of each shade seemed too large, so it added to the inconsistency and movement of the product without sticking evenly. It was one of the harsher cream blushes used in more recent memories. They showed signs of fading on my cheeks after six hours.
I found that the wide and squeeze tube is more difficult to dose, often gets a lot of air and really has to squeeze to get the product out … and sometimes a pinch that was barely there gave off more product than necessary!
