Huda Beauty Charming Cherry (04) GloWish Cheeky Vegan Blush Powder ($ 21.00 for 0.08 oz.) Is a light raspberry pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a satin finish. The finish became more radiant when polished and veneered on my skin so that it had a natural sheen but no visible glimmer particles came through.
It had almost opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which some might prefer, but the formula should be very buildable (they even use the word “wash”!). The texture was firmer, a little thinner, but not stiff (just not powdery) so it was easier to control how much product was ingested. This shade stayed good for nine hours before fading a little.

Formula overview
$ 21.00 / 0.08 ounce. – $ 262.50 per ounce
The formula is said to have a “natural, fresh color and a soft glow” that has a “super buildable” formula. The texture felt smooth, was dense and a little firm, but not stiff to work with; the balance of firmness ensured it wasn’t powdery.
The pigmentation varied from hue to hue, and they were high-medium to semi-opaque and buildable rather than a “silky wash”. The lack of powder made it easier to use a lighter hand for more real, buildable coverage if desired.
The blush had a more satin-like finish that got brighter when polished and blended on my skin, and I had no problem applying it on bare skin or over foundation. They lasted between eight and nine hours with me before they visibly faded.
