Citrine
REFY Citrine Cream Blush ($20.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a vivid, tangerine orange with sturdy, heat yellow undertones and a pure matte end. The feel was clean, reasonably emollient, and light-weight with some tackiness initially, however the formulation was fast to dry all the way down to a extra matte end as soon as utilized and blended out on my pores and skin.
It appeared fairly pigmented when swatched as a single layer, however in follow, it was liable to sheer out fairly readily, which was extra in step with the advertising and marketing, so the applying yielded medium, buildable protection. The product utilized pretty evenly on naked pores and skin, but it surely took extra effort to actually diffuse the perimeters as I’d have anticipated for a cream-based formulation. It was best to work with utilizing a brush, which appeared to do a greater job at diffusing with out lifting up the colour, particularly over basis. It lasted for six and a half hours earlier than fading a bit.

Formulation Overview
$20.00/0.05 oz. – $400.00 Per Ounce
The formulation is meant to be “buildable” and have a “refined dewy glow” end. It had extra of a “pure matte” end that did not look completely flat/dry when the formulation set, but it surely wasn’t dewy in any respect. The consistency was clean, light-weight, and skinny with a good quantity of slip and felt like a standard cream blush with gentle tackiness.
I most popular making use of it with a fluffy, artificial brush for getting probably the most even utility, particularly over base merchandise, because it resulted within the product being much less more likely to transfer round my basis. Once I tried patting it on with a fingertip, I used to be extra apt to get product sliding round or some unevenness coming via (as a observe: my cheeks have some pure unevenness, which might come via extra with sheerer protection merchandise).
The protection appeared extra pigmented initially, however the formulation was positively set as much as be sheer and buildable, so the tip end result was extra semi-sheer, buildable protection, which was as marketed. The formulation stayed on effectively for six to seven hours earlier than fading on me.
Additionally, the scale of the cream blushes is extraordinarily small and under no circumstances in step with the typical cream blush dimension from a myriad of manufacturers. It felt like a pattern dimension! I do not really feel the value displays the amount obtained, so it felt actually out of line with the remainder of the model’s choices.
