Vieve Pesca Sunset Blush Review & Swatches

Pesca

Vieve Pesca Sunset Blush ($32.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a brighter, light orange with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. This had slightly more visible shimmer compared to the other blushes in the range. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable–it was one of the better-performing shades I tried from the brand in this formula.

It had opaque color coverage, as marketed, that applied evenly to bare skin and spread out well. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.18 oz. - $177.78 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "high colour pay off" but be "easy to build and blend." The pigmentation was semi-opaque to opaque, buildable, and I'd argue that they were pigmented enough where it wasn't "easy" to build up as the color tended to sit where initially applied and wasn't as readily spread out and diffused as top tier blush formulas are.

The finish was more satin to semi-matte, so not overtly shimmery (except one shade, at the time of review), but not a true matte finish either. The consistency was fairly soft, slightly drier and thinner, with light to moderate powderiness in the pan. It was a decent blush formula but not the most blendable and was most forgiving applied over a matte base (whether set with powder, drier skin, etc.). The thinner/drier feel made it more prone to emphasizing skin texture (like any flakiness).

Most shades lasted seven to eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.
