The iconic London Coral Glow Silk Glow blush and highlight duo ($39.00 for 0.21 ounces) featured a gel-powder formula over a blush and highlighter, although I found the highlighter to be noticeably drier and powderier for a gel-powder-style formula, which was unexpected . However, the blush was quite beautiful and had that signature, more melted and seamless finish against the skin.
Coral glow (left) is a light, medium-dark coral with warmer, more orange undertones and fine, golden pearls that give it a luminous shine.

formula overview
–
The formula is said to have a “gel-powder” texture that delivers a “one-puff rush of color” and a “radiant” finish.
The texture of the blush was denser and firm, if not stiff, but the classic gel-powder formula that works best with moderately dense brushes to pick up the product evenly. There was no powderiness and the blush applied evenly and “melted” onto the skin for a seamless, luminous finish. The pigmentation was more opaque in a single layer, although it could be dialed down slightly with a lighter hand.
Unfortunately, the highlighters seemed to be on the drier side and didn’t have the signature seamless/molten finish that the blush or gel-powder formulas typically have. They weren’t bad per se, just that they didn’t blend as well and had a bit more texture.
Both blush and highlighter formulas lasted about eight hours on me.
