LYS Beauty Humble Higher Standard Satin Matte Cream Blush ($16.00 for 0.23 oz.) is a brighter, medium peony pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The formula dried down fully within about 20 seconds to a more matte finish, though it was very easy to work with as it was emollient while having more of a glide than a real wetness to it, which ensured it didn’t lift up base products.
It applied well with fingertips as well as brushes, though it was quite pigmented so I found a brush was more forgiving for sheerer application and/or building up coverage. It stayed on well for nine hours before fading visibly on me.

The formula is supposed to have “high payoff” with a “satin-matte” finish that has a “natural flush.” They were very pigmented but blendable and easy to control, so one could apply less and get sheerer, more buildable coverage, if preferred. The consistency was lightweight, thin, and had moderate slip but turned more powder-like–the “satin-matte” came through–as it was applied and blended out on my skin.
It didn’t have a severe dry down, so it remained slightly movable as it dried down; it wasn’t tacky or particularly dewy, so it seemed true to the “satin-matte” finish described (but wasn’t so matte that it was dry or flat-looking on). They applied well over bare skin as well as over liquid foundation and set foundation. They wore between eight and eight and a half hours on me.
