Key Features

• Wear time: Up to ~16 hours according to the Ulta description. 

• Texture/Finish: Irresistibly silky, blendable powder that glides on smoothly and evenly. 

• Pigmentation: High impact true-colour payoff, yet buildable so you can go from sheer to bold. 

• Formula Benefits:

  • Blurs the look of imperfections. 

  • Comfortable, weightless feel. 

  • Good to know: The shade’s gold shimmer means it gives more glow than a totally matte blush — so texture of skin may play a role in how it looks. (See review commentary.) 

• How to Use 

  • The brand provides application techniques:

    • Use a medium-to-large fluffy, dome-shaped brush, buff in circular motions onto the apples of the cheeks. 

    • For a sculpted look: apply under the cheekbones with a tapered brush and blend outward & upward. 

    • For a lifted look: apply with a fluffy tapered brush, working upward in a “C” shape from the cheek toward the temple. 

  • From Ulta instructions: The strongest payoff is at the first point of brush contact — start where you want the strongest colour. Use sweeping circular motions for a natural rush of colour. 

  • For your brand visuals: Because of the gold pearl shimmer and richer coral-tone, you may want to:

    • Show a swatch close-up to highlight the shimmer texture.

    • Use top-view or angled lighting in product photography to capture the glow dynamic.

    • On model imagery, consider using it on medium to deeper skin tones or in editorial lighting to let the coral/gold shimmer pop — on very fair skin it may read more intense. (Review notes: “Young tanned skin, olive and dark skin, go for it … mature pale skin tones – keep well clear!”)
