My thoughts
For me it’s a gorgeous pink mauve blush that I can wear every day. On the website, it appeared a bit deeper but in reality it looks light and leans more towards pink. I think this color would look absolutely beautiful on medium skin tones. I, for one, am a fan.

Houndstooth doesn’t contain visible shimmer and appears matte. I am extremely impressed with its texture. The powder feels soft and silky to the touch and blends like a dream. Moreover, the pigmentation is just wow! I would suggest keeping a light hand during application for you can easily overdo it. So far, I haven’t experienced any major fall-out issues with this. The staying power is also quite remarkable – lasts around five hours on a hot, sweaty day.

Overall, it’s my new favorite color along with my Tarte blush in Exposed. LOVE IT!
