Crystah

Benefit Crystah WANDERful World Silky-Soft Powder Blush ($29.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a bright pop of medium-dark pink-coral with a subtle, golden sheen that gave it a soft, luminous lit-from-within kind of glow once applied and diffused on skin.

Smooth, velvety, and finely-milled without being too firm or too powdery
Applied evenly and seamlessly on skin, almost blended itself
Long-wearing (9 hours)

Formula Overview

$29.00/0.21 oz. - $138.10 Per Ounce

The WANDERful World Blush formula is supposed to have a "silky-soft" texture that is "buildable, blendable" and feel "weightless" on the skin. The range featured finishes from matte to shimmer with less-intense variations in-between. They described the effect as "soft-focus, airbrushed," and I think that was the one aspect that stood out to me (without even having read the description) was how smooth, seamless, and soft the blushes sat on my skin.

They were medium to mostly opaque, buildable in pigmentation and felt very intuitive to use. I could use a lighter hand for sheerer coverage, a heavier hand for higher coverage, or easily build and blend to desired opacity in a way that felt quite forgiving. The consistency was finely-milled, smooth, and easy to pick up with smaller, larger, feathery, and denser brushes.

The formula lasted eight to nine hours on me with some of the richer/deeper hues with slight shimmer seeming to last a bit longer compared to the very light and more matte shades.
