LORAC Color Source Buildable Blush in Tinge and Spectra | Review

I love finely milled powder blushes that are soft and creamy in texture, and that glide across the skin effortlessly, and deposit color evenly. While I certainly don't need to collect any more blushes, I simply cannot resist the temptation of high quality and luxuriously smooth pinks and peachy shades, and this is precisely what I experienced from the moment I opened LORAC Color Source Buildable Blush in Tinge and Spectra. From the very first swatch I was exceedingly impressed by the ultra-finely milled texture that was soft and creamy to the touch. While these blushes are matte, they are neither flat, nor chalky. Instead, they impart a natural finish and the appearance of a youthful flush of color. While both shades are soft and natural when sheered out, they are buildable. That said, Tinge, which is a pale peachy nude can only build so far because it is a very light shade. Tinge and Spectra both spread across the skin with ease, deposit color evenly, and they neither settle into fine lines, nor do they emphasize pores.

Tinge is described as a matte nude shade, but I would characterize it as a beautiful, pale peachy nude.
Spectra is described as a matte pink, and I would only add that it is a slightly cool, mid-toned shade.
