Quarter Life Challenge - Blush 9

Tarte Cheekstain Mini in Dollface

I've posted on Tarte cheekstains before, but since it wasn't part of the challenge, it's fair game to include here. For the purposes of this conversation, I won't talk about the details of the formula again.

Tarte Cheekstain in Dollface is a bright pink in the tube, but goes on very sheer, almost unnoticable. I find that it's stickier than most of the other Tarte cheekstains that I have tried; perhaps that is a function of the pigments in it.

Dollface is one shade that borders on being unusable for us brown girls, because it's just simply too faint. The yellow-green undertones of my skin are just too much for this cool-toned blush. Initially after I apply, it's visible - but fifteen minutes or less later, nothing.

On the plus side, it has a lovely fruity smell, and I'm certain it would work for paler girls than I. Tarte cheekstains are a great way to "blush and run" due to the ease of their stick format. Dollface will, however, require a light blotting of translucent powder to cancel out the stickiness.

As for me, I'm just glad I have a mini and not the full size.

$28 @ Sephora
