Cherry Blaze (left)

Cherry Blaze (left) is a medium-dark peach with warmer, orange undertones and a matte finish. It had medium buildable pigmentation with a silky smooth, finely ground texture that was a little powdery in the pan but applied well to bare skin and never looked dry. In fact, it was very forgiving of the skin texture and worked well on bare skin / lighter surfaces too, as it didn’t blotch or “stick” too quickly where it was originally applied. It lasted a good eight hours before it visibly faded.

Formula overview

The formula should be “silk-smooth” with “semi-matt and highlighting colors” for a “light-reflecting” shine. I would describe the finish as matte, and it would be a stretch to even say semi-matte, but the powders were silky, smooth, and mixable, and sat well on bare skin without emphasizing texture or dryness. I had actually gone through a real dryness with my skin when I eyed and tested this range!

The brand made no claims about opacity, and my experience with these showed that they were quite pigmented – usually semi-opaque and buildable – but could be used with a lighter hand or a less dense brush for more transparent, buildable opacity if desired. The coverage was versatile and seemed sufficient for those who prefer more pigmentation but not something that requires a very light hand to start with.

The most impressive thing about the formula was how well it applied to bare skin and foundation while it was still damp; More matte finishes tend to “stick” and go on mottled and often need to be applied over a matte base. I didn’t have any of these problems with the shades I tested; They were wonderful to apply to bare skin and were easy to blend.

They lasted between eight and nine hours with me before they faded a little.
