Tea cake
ColourPop Tea Cakes 4-pan cheek palette ($ 12.00 for 0.3 ounces) includes an off-white highlighter, a shimmery powder red, and two matte blushes: pearl orange, shimmering coral, matte pink coral, and matte medium brown. They were pretty fair in terms of pigmentation; The blush was more buildable and hard to overdo, although it does pay off to appear on the skin.
I found the texture of the blush to be very smooth and finely ground, which didn’t seem to stick as well to my arm (which is quite dry) but worked well on my face (ultimately, where I test cheek products!). .

Most necessary
Most necessary is a light medium orange with warm, brownish undertones and flecks of pink and gold pearls that gave it a soft, luminous sheen that didn’t shimmer excessively. The texture was smooth, pliable, and wet to the touch, just like the twist-off lenses on the Super Shock highlighters. It had a sharper, more buildable cover when applied with a brush and a medium-sized buildable cover that was applied with a fingertip (as expected). It stayed good for nine and a half hours before visibly fading.

chocolates
chocolates is a medium-sized coral base – not too pink or too orange – with a contrasting, lighter gold sheen that gave it a soft, glowing finish. It had a semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a soft, velvety texture with noticeable powderiness, although I found it worked better than a pattern in practice. The skin on my arm is drier than my face, and the powder tended to slide around on my arm rather than stick to it. It carried well for eight hours before noticeably fading.

Formula overview
$ 8.00 / 0.13 oz. – – $ 61.54 per ounce
The formula is said to go on “smoothly” and have a “natural and healthy blush” that has “long wear” and “can be layered to the desired intensity”. It is a light to moderately powdery powder red with a semi-transparent to semi-opaque, buildable color display. The consistency feels drier and thinner, and while it feels silky, I’ve found that the type of powder blush can be difficult to evenly distribute on the skin, depending on your skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin / base, the better the formula would blend, but natural oils or slip caused an uneven blush and were difficult to fade out. The wear and tear averaged between seven and eight hours for me.

Snickerdoodle
Snickerdoodle is a lighter, medium-dark pink coral with a matte finish. The texture was soft, silky, and moderately powdery, and I found that with some natural oils it stuck to my skin better than my arm, which is quite dry in comparison. It had a medium buildable color payout that was as marketed that faded out effortlessly and lasted well for eight hours before fading a little.

Delicious bite
Delicious bite is medium in size, reddish brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a medium buildable paint cover that stuck evenly to my cheeks and blended well, although it didn’t stick as well to my arm (which was drier) when swatched. The texture was a bit powdery, although it was finely ground, smooth, and miscible. The color showed signs of fading after eight hours of wear.
