I might describe the method was buildable from semi-sheer to medium with semi-opaque protection potential, however there’s sufficient slip within the method that it begins to sheer out noticeably even when utilized extra closely. I appreciated that even the deeper hues did not appear to «sink» into my pores and had been as simple to use and mix out as very gentle, extra my-skin-but-better (actually, my pores and skin!) hues. I most well-liked choosing up product on my fingertip, patting on the apple of my cheek and diffusing upward and outward, then utilizing a clear fingertip to diffuse and soften the perimeters as wanted. The pigmentation assorted a bit from shade to shade, however most shades had been semi-opaque to totally opaque when utilized straight from the tube in a single «swipe» movement, although I believe mimicking this on cheeks is not fairly as simply achieved as in comparison with my arm. They aren’t transfer-proof however are transfer-resistant they will not smear round with an inadvertent contact however aren’t totally locked down. They’ve utilized nicely and worn nicely over basis up to now, too. I have not discovered that they migrate or transfer round a lot, so the method remains to be longer-wearing at seven to 9 hours with minimal motion. The model recommends making use of straight from the tube for heavier protection and utilizing a brush to select up product for much less protection, although the protection «simply builds color to your coronary heart’s want.» They dry all the way down to a semi-set finish–lightly dewy, undoubtedly «pure, skin-like» in look, however not overly cheesy or actually wet-looking. It’s described as a deep warm burgundy wine, and ended up being a bit more red than I expected, but is definitely still a nice color.The method is meant to «mix effortlessly» with a «pure, skin-like end» that may be layered or utilized on naked pores and skin. Lastly, I ordered Dalia because I had purchased these in winter and really wanted a dark, vampy color to wear.


It’s a dusty mauve pink and it’s goooorgeous. Lumiere is my favorite of the three and was created by one of my fave Youtubers, KathleenLights. Brink is a warm dusty taupe that was inspired by the Kylie Jenner lip. Brink and Lumiere glide right on the lips, but I found that Dalia was less creamy and a bit harder to apply. I do find them a little bit drying, but I tend to pair them with glosses anyways so it’s not a huge deal. These are all matte finishes and have great pigmentation. I have swatches of Brink, Lumiere and Dalia to share today.

I bought all matte shades, but I definitely want to place another order and get a bunch of bright colored satin finish ones for summer! I wanted to do a post on the lippie stix I got, because they are definitely some of my favorite purchases from ColourPop. At $5 an item (with the exception of the blushes and highlighters which are $8), it’s super hard to resist filling up your online cart. I own a few of their lippie stix, lip liners, blushes and eyeshadows. I placed an order on the day of the blush release, because I had been dying to try their products but wanted to wait until I could get my hands on a couple blushes as well, and I ended up falling in love with the brand! I think it’s died down a bit now, but everyone was going really crazy about all of the ColourPop products, especially around the time that they released their blushes. There was a TON of hype surrounding the ColourPop brand a few months ago.
