Melt Cosmetics Ghostlight Blushlight Review & Swatches

Ghostlight

Melt Cosmetics Ghostlight Blushlight ($22.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a pale gold with strong, warm yellow undertones and a luminous sheen. The glow was very smooth without being metallic or frosted, so it didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture at all. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which wasn’t as described (it was supposed to be buildable), which was the biggest “downside” to the shad. The consistency was smooth, blendable, and just a little powdery in the pan, but it applied evenly and blended out with ease on my skin. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit on me.

Formula Overview

$22.00/0.13 oz. - $169.23 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be buildable and can be worn alone or layered with other blushes. I'd consider it a more pigmented blush formula; a few shades are soft and yielding enough to be used with a lighter hand or less-dense brush for sheerer, more buildable application, but most shades were semi-opaque to opaque in one layer. The texture ranged from smooth, lightly creamy to soft and slightly powdery (though finely-milled and silky to the touch!). They blended out fairly well, though a few shades could have been more blendable, and most shades lasted between seven and eight hours on me.
