Review and Swatches of Moira Honey Pie Love Steady Liquid Blush
#MoiraHoneyPieLoveSteadyLiquidBlush #ProductReview
The Moira Honey Pie Love Steady Liquid Blush is a milky, pinky-coral shade with warm undertones and a soft sheen. It has a moderate consistency that doesn’t fully dry down, but it’s not sticky to the touch either.
#FormulaOverview
The formula of this liquid blush is buildable and delivers high pigment payoff. It easily blends into the skin for a natural look. There are two finishes available, radiant and matte. The matte finish dries down to a powder-like finish that is long-wearing, while the radiant finish remains dewy without fully setting.
To apply the Moira Honey Pie Love Steady Liquid Blush, remove excess product from the oversized doe-foot applicator and dot a small amount onto the apples of the cheeks. The formula is forgiving and can be sheered out to a medium-level coverage. A little goes a long way, so only one or two dots on the cheeks are recommended. Alternatively, you can dot the product on the back of your hand and use your fingertip to diffuse it before patting onto your cheeks. If you prefer a heavier application, a stippling brush can be used.

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.”
