The method is meant to present a “recent wash of shade” that’s “easy” to mix with a “natural-looking” end. The protection is designed to be “sheer, buildable” with a “sweat- and water resistant method.” The model recommends to use with fingertips or their 125 brush (which is a reasonably dense, angled brush).
The protection was positively buildable with an inclination towards semi-sheer protection, however the depth relied on utility technique. The easiest way to explain was that by the point you utilized and blended out one layer, it usually seemed like that “recent wash of shade” it was marketed as having, however I would argue they had been nearer to semi-sheer to medium, buildable protection than true, sheer protection. It was very readily constructed as much as extra intense, extra opaque protection with a second or third layer. It layered fantastically, too, so attaining increased protection was straightforward to do and was nonetheless as flattering on the pores and skin as one layer.
Should you took a fingertip and swirled it round at the very least as soon as, you’d get increased protection, however it will diffuse a bit to extra semi-sheer to medium protection relying on the shade. With a couple of faucets of a moderately-dense, angled brush (like they paired with this method), one may get extra semi-sheer to medium protection in a single layer. A stippling brush was most constant at yielding a sheer wash of shade, whereas fingertip utility tended to be extra medium protection.
That being stated, they’d the sort of pigmentation that appears pigmented initially however does generally tend to sheer out in actual utility, so finger swatches alone are higher as perception into potential opacity however not one layer opacity; the blended out swatch is a greater indicator of as-applied to cheeks protection. I nonetheless suppose they had been extra pigmented than described, however the method was very forgiving so that they may very well be used with a lighter hand (like one pat or faucet with fingertip/brush) for true, sheer protection if desired.
The method performed properly with fingertips in addition to brushes, although I most well-liked fingertips as they’re actually simply such a helpful, environment friendly device for cream-based formulation like these (and one much less brush to scrub!). I did not have any points making use of and diffusing out the perimeters of the blush over naked pores and skin or over basis (I paired them with Fenty’s Professional Filtr, which is fashionable but additionally extra matte, so made for an excellent take a look at base) because it didn’t raise up base merchandise.
The consistency was extra in keeping with a standard cream blush; it was emollient and felt moist to the contact within the compact, and it remained emollient when it was utilized to my pores and skin. It didn’t flip to powder as quickly because it got here into contact with my pores and skin, however it did dry down for probably the most half. I felt like there was very positive, barely-there pearl by most shades (some had apparent shimmer) which gave the phantasm of dewiness, as a result of after I touched the ultimate utility, it appeared dry to the contact however completely had that “natural-looking”–read: skin-like–finish marketed.
They wore between eight and 9 hours earlier than fading a bit, they usually appeared to have a pleasant, even fade past that vary. They appeared water resistant as they did not bleed after I ran swatches underneath water, however you can actually wipe the product away with gentle rubbing so it wasn’t impervious (resistant implies simply that, resistant, however not impervious!).
