Oh, the caps have the names of the products, but the rest of the tube doesn’t, so if you have more than one open, take care in getting the right lid back on!īrowse all of our Colour Pop Blush Stix swatches. I didn’t experience it lifting up or creating patchiness over time on top of foundation, even when I set the foundation initially, but I would recommend (same as I would for most cream-based cheek formulas!) to pair with a less-matte foundation for optimal results (the dewy finish plays well with a more skin-like base). The consistency was lightly emollient, lightweight, and thin with good spreadability and movement it didn’t lift up base products but still worked well over bare skin. I would describe the formula was buildable from semi-sheer to medium with semi-opaque coverage possible, but there’s enough slip in the formula that it starts to sheer out noticeably even when applied more heavily. As the name implies, it is a blush in stick form. Welcome to another episode of Get Swatched Today we are taking a closer look at the Colourpop Blush & Lite Stix Kits.beautynews getswatched colourpopColo. Blush Stix, for those who are unaware, are ColorPop’s latest blush release. I appreciated that even the deeper hues didn’t seem to "sink" into my pores and were as easy to apply and blend out as very light, more my-skin-but-better (literally, my skin!) hues.

I preferred picking up product on my fingertip, patting on the apple of my cheek and diffusing upward and outward, then using a clean fingertip to diffuse and soften the edges as needed.

They are not transfer-proof but are transfer-resistant they won’t smear around with an inadvertent touch but aren’t fully locked down.

They have applied well and worn well over foundation thus far, too. I haven’t found that they migrate or move around much, so the formula is still longer-wearing at seven to nine hours with minimal movement. The brand recommends applyling directly from the tube for heavier coverage and using a brush to pick up product for less coverage, though the coverage "easily builds colour to your heart’s desire." They dry down to a semi-set finish–lightly dewy, definitely "natural, skin-like" in appearance, but not overly tacky or really wet-looking. The formula is supposed to "blend effortlessly" with a "natural, skin-like finish" that can be layered or applied on bare skin.
