It had good color payoff, though it was not quite as intense as other blush shades thus far, but it’s probably sufficient for most looking to use this as a cheek color. This shade is part of the Metallic line-up, so the finish is more shimmery and reflective applied. Surprisingly, it didn’t emphasize pores or look full-on, metallic when I tried it as a blush. The texture was lightly creamy, dense, and buttery, which helped it apply and blend out more readily so even though it is a bolder, bright shade, it wasn’t fussy to work with. ME912 Orchid wore well for eight hours before showing signs of minor fading.
