The Lily Cole Lip & Cheek Dome is Lily Cole's personal favorite from the entire limited edition Lily Cole makeup range, and it comes in a cute, compact dome. The Body Shop says that this one has a cream-to-powder formula, but I feel that this is more like just a cream blush. It glides on effortlessly on my skin and gives me a slight wash of color on my cheeks.
Swatch: Crazy for Coral
The shade I have is Crazy for Coral, and it has a light peach shade that is very sheer. I think that this will only show up for those with light complexion. When I blended it on my skin, it almost disappeared (see picture above). Those with deeper complexions might want to use Pinch Me Pink (a brighter pink shade).
When Worn
I like the subtle glow Crazy for Coral gives my face, but since I have oily skin, this doesn't last a long time on me. It seems to fade after a few hours, and I don't like reapplying cream-based products throughout the day. Despite it being a Lip & Cheek Dome, I don't like using this for my lips since the pale peach shade washes me out. I would recommend this product only to those who have dry to normal skin. As for the shade, do get Pinch Me Pink instead - it's more pigmented and it's something you can really also use for your lips.
Love,
Helen
My sister has this and it looks really pretty on her! It stayed on her cheeks for quite long maybe becuz she has dry sin~ You look nice with this shade too ^_~
