She’s a Doll
Patrick Ta She’s a Doll Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush ($34.00 for 0.37 oz.) includes brighter, slightly bluer-based pink shades; one in a cream format that was more buildable, and one in a powder format, which was quite pigmented from the get-go.
Ingredients
She’s a Doll (Crème)
She’s a Doll (Crème) is a vivid, medium-dark pink with cooler, blue undertones and barley-there lavender pearl. It had semi-sheer, buildable color payoff paired with a smooth, emollient texture that had good spreadability over bare skin as well as on top of foundation. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
–
The cream blush had a lightly creamy, moderately emollient consistency that applied evenly and blended out well over bare skin as well as over liquid foundation. In the duo format, the cream blush is actually designed to be layered over the powder (rather than typically under it) to add “life” back to the skin. It layered well on top of the blush to add a bit of shine without turning it into a full-on cream.
The pigmentation was sheer and buildable to semi-sheer to medium coverage, which seemed in line with the brand’s marketing (though they could do a better job describing it). On its own, it lasted around six hours before fading/migrating noticeably. When I wore it on top of the powder blush, it seemed to shorten wear by a half hour to an hour.

She’s a Doll (Powder)
She’s a Doll (Powder) is a bright, medium-dark pink with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. The texture was smooth, velvety, and a little powdery in the pan, but it applied evenly and blended out well without looking powdery on my skin. It had opaque color payoff that lasted well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Formula Overview
–
The powder blush was supposed to be “pigmented” and “weightless.” The consistency was soft, lightly powdery in the pan, but it had a smoother, denser feel to it that was almost velvety without being overly firm. The powder picked up well with a brush and yielded semi-opaque to opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly and blended out easily. The formula lasted around nine hours on its own, but layering the coordinating cream shortened wear by half hour to an hour.
