I would hardly call this a watercolor, and if you think this is similar to Benefit's famous Benetint, you're in for a surprise.īeing someone who likes my cheeks very natural, I need to use the tiniest amount and blend well to get the result I want. It might be specific to this particular shade, Water Lily, as others appeared a bit less pigmented. I was amazed, however, by its intense pigmentation. #Hot pot aqua swatch skinSo this product is sheer alright, meaning that it is translucent rather than opaque, as in, you can see your skin through. Let's talk about the pigmentation here for a minute. I didn't have any problems wearing it on top of powder foundation or on bare skin. But if having perfect, flawless foundation is important for you, you might find it disturbing. It wasn't a major issue for me though because the foundation dries back down with the blush, creating a super natural, seamless finish since both products "fused" together. I've experienced this with every liquid/cream foundation I tried to use it with. One of the problems that may arise during application is that if you apply it over foundation, it will melt it. It does feel very lightweight and leaves no sticky or greasy sensation once dry. A brush would probably work too, but with a liquid formula like this, you'd be wasting a lot of product that would just be absorbed in your brush hair.Ĭontrary to Stila's claims, I don't feel any cooling effect at all, nor do I feel like this is particularly hydrating. It's very easy to blend with fingertips, as it glides across the skin without effort and takes a couple minutes to set and dry. The formula appears unscented, it has a faint chemical smell that I can only detect when I stick my nose in the jar! The new Watercolor Blush has a light, fluid gel-like texture that feels creamy to the touch. The net is still mostly covered in liquid after 5-6 uses One more word about the jar: you better close the lid really tightly, otherwise you could experience leakage to the sides like I did. what the hell are they talking about? How does this net deliver anything? Was this included just to give this product the appearance of a "cushion" the new makeup packaging rage coming from Asia? I couldn't say. So the "dispenser" that delivers " a single splash" claim leaves me puzzled. Since you have to shake the pot before opening, a good amount of product is left on the inside of the lid, which is were I pick it up with my fingers. When the jar is new and full, this net is mostly submerged. I don't really get it here: the use of that net remains a mystery to me. I get it for loose powders: it keeps your brush from getting all the way inside and picking up too much product. Inside the jar is a kind of mesh net, similar to what you find in loose powder jars. I know, small detail, but it's too bad the cute pot is "scarred"). A sticker warns that you must shake it before use (the sticker left glue residue that I wasn't able to remove. The packaging is very pretty, and very unusual for this type of product. Unlike other liquid blushes I've tried, this Watercolor Blush comes in a small clear plastic jar, with a frosted pale gold lid.
