Formula Overview
$9.00/0.33 oz. - $27.27 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "buildable" formula ("kiss of color") that has a "flushed, luminous" finish. The consistency was lightweight, spreadable, and felt like a gel-cream texture that had an emollience to it but spread without lifting up base products. I had no trouble blending out the product using a fingertip or a brush, and it worked well over bare skin as well as on top of foundation.
It was quite spreadable, so while it might have seemed more medium coverage initially, it was semi-sheer in practice and did require layering to build to more medium coverage. This formula lasted well for eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Ingredients
Another lovely shade. I have been exploring copper on my eyes and this might make a good blush or topper to go along with my copper eyeshadows. I had purchased a Chanel quad that has a couple of copper shades and so I am just getting around to trying it out on my eyes and deciding if I like it. I think I would have loved it before my hair turned grey as my strawberry blond hair and dark brown eyes with flecks of green and gold, would likely have been flattering. Not sure yet whether I like it with my grey hair.
It’s GORGEOUS! And has just enough red to it that I feel that I could use it year-round instead of just our very hot 5+ month summers, too.
That looks stunning! What a great product it is.
