Patrick Ta added his new shades Double Take Creme and Powder Blush ($38 each) and Major Volume Plumping Lip Glosses ($26 each). They just launched into Sephora and I made some new shades as they looked very pretty and fresh for spring! I’ve had some hits and misses with the new colors.
Double Take Creme and Powder Blush
There are three new shades of it Double Take Creme and Powder Blush. Based on the online descriptions and photos, I thought there was a chance it wouldn’t work for my skin tone, but I was interested in trying all three.
For those new to these they have a cream and a powder in each compact. I just found out today that my traditional way of applying cream first and then powdering on top is not the right way to use these twin blushes, but I still prefer it after trying both methods.
According to Patrick Ta, the colors are meant to be applied with the powder first and cream on top for a dewy finish and set into the powder color. A lot of the powders in this look are really sheer on my bare skin, but over a powder they really break out! If you have any of his blush duos, I’m interested to hear how you apply them.
Just enough it’s a baby pink blush duo. This ended up being very light and powdery on my skin because of the milky colors. I think it would make a great layering shade like Gucci Beauty True Pink. If you are fairer or lighter in skin tone, I think you would really like this.
This is the moment it has peach tangerine undertones. This is a really pretty duo, I think it will be really pretty for the warmer months.
Not too much it is a mix of neutral pink brown beige. This is the perfect everyday neutral combination. It pulls a bit more pink on my skin but has enough beige/brown undertones that it looks more natural. I love this duo.
Major Volume Plumping Lip Glosses
Patrick Ta added his new shades Major Volume Plumping Lip Glosses in a richer pigment formula. The colors definitely have a lot more pigment in them this round! I’m not sure if my lips have become more sensitive or if they changed the formula because the new shades have a bit of a sting on the lips. I accidentally put some on my tongue and it felt like it was on fire! The tingling isn’t so painful that I have to take it off, it’s just on the stronger side.
Geographically, they really plump up the lips significantly within minutes.
I ordered 3 of the 5 new shades:
Say Less it’s a milky pink that pulls too pale on my lips but if i mix it with its pure red Full syringei can make it work.
You need her it’s the perfect everyday pink neutral. 100% love.
Obviously it’s a beautiful brown coffee. I like this color too. Normally I can’t pull off coffee on the lips, but this has the perfect amount of warmth to wear. Love this too.
Four looks below wearing different lip colors to match the blushes.
