Formula Overview

$15.99/0.31 oz. - $51.58 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "intense color payoff" that lasts for 24-hours and is "heat-proof, waterproof, transfer-proof, and humidity-proof." The blush was highly pigmented where a little went a long way, while the texture was smooth, silky, and very blendable whether applied over bare skin or on top of foundation. The finish was matte without being flat or dry, so it looked skin-like but had no visible shimmer/shine.

It's an excellent blush as long as you aren't expecting 24-hour wear--it's long-wearing (10 hours) but was fairly faded at the 16-hour mark. It definitely seemed resistant to water, transfer, and weather and did hold up well after being outdoors and running errands in the heat.
