Patrick Ta Monochrome Moment Velvet Blush – She’s Adorable

is a medium, pink-coral base with warmer, golden shimmer throughout. The color deepened and appeared truer-to-pan when applied and blended out on my cheeks, so it ended up as one of the more darker shades in the line-up.

It had buildable coverage from medium to mostly opaque, while the texture felt velvety and smooth to the touch with some slip to it–I could tell it was a more silicone-heavy powder. The powder worked best with a moderately-dense brush that had a more even edge to pick up product evenly. It had a dense surface that wasn’t stiff but seemed more prone to absorbing natural oils (from fingertips or if one took a used blush brush back into the pan), so I would recommend applying the product over a more matte base and/or lightly set base to minimize that (if it’s a problem; otherwise, gently rubbing a paper towel over hardened areas will wear them away).

I didn’t have any trouble blending out the powder on my cheeks, and it had a natural sheen that was glowing without being overtly shimmery. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.
