For a more in-depth understanding of the #MoiraILYLoveSteadyLiquidBlush formula, visit the #FormulaOverview548435. It is priced at $8.50 for 0.17 oz., which is equivalent to $50.00 per ounce. The formula is buildable, delivering a high pigment payoff, and easily blends. There are two finishes available – radiant and matte. The radiant finish remains dewy without fully setting, while the matte finish dries down to a powder-like finish, offering a more long-wearing effect (eight to nine hours of wear for the matte finish, seven hours for the radiant finish).
According to the brand, you should remove excess product from the oversized, doe-foot applicator and dot a small amount onto the apples of your cheeks. The formula sheers out to a medium-level coverage, so a little goes a long way. You can either gently diffuse the product on the back of your hand or use a stippling brush for application if you prefer a heavier application.

Formula Overview
$8.50/0.17 oz. – $50.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be “buildable’ while “delivering high pigment payoff” that “easily blends.” There are two finishes–radiant and matte–with the latter drying down to a more powder-like finish that was matte and more long-wearing as a result (eight to nine hours). The radiant finish remained dewy without fully setting, though it didn’t feel tacky and still had decent wear (seven hours).
Per the brand, they state to remove excess product from the over-sized, doe-foot applicator and then dot the product onto the apples of a cheeks using a “small amount” initially. The formula was forgiving in the sense that whatever was applied wanted to sheer out to more of a medium-level of coverage, but a little went a long way, so I would recommend one or two dots on cheeks at most. I preferred to put the dots on the back of my hand, then take my fingertip and gently diffused it there before patting onto my cheeks.
If you’re someone who tends to be more heavy-handed, you might find using a stippling brush for application more ideal here. I tend to reach for a brush when a liquid or cream blush formula is more pigmented or where a “little goes a long way.”
