I still can run into the issue of this going patchy if I accidentally over blend.▶ 15:01–15:05
Overall, I feel like these give a similar effect on the cheeks to E.L.F. because I can still see my skin through them. They also have a natural finish, but they have a bit more color payoff.▶ 15:14–15:19
I'd say I get the same performance in terms of wear as E.L.F. where it holds up well, but doesn't stain so hard that I can't get it off my cheeks.▶ 15:26–15:31
In terms of texture, this feels really comfy and hydrating when you first apply it.▶ 15:56–16:00
Once it does dry down, it transforms into more of a true matte feel and finish. So that comfiness and glossiness don't last for me.▶ 16:06–16:12
The staining power seems to be more intense on my lips as well. So it lasts super long, which I was really impressed by.▶ 16:17–16:21
CoverGirl is probably going to be best for you if you're looking for a brighter, bolder stain that lasts all day.▶ 16:22–16:28
