Patrick Major Headlines - Double-Take Cream + Powder Blush Duo Review & Swatches

Patrick TA Major Headlines - Double-Take Cream + Powder Blush Duo

This post is suuuuuppper long overdue! But I guess better late than never right? HHere are the swatches for the Patrick TA Blush Duos! Yea I was crazy enough to buy 4 shades (when I only have one set of cheeks).

Brand’s description: Exquisitely housed in a sleek, slimline compact, Patrick Ta’s Major Headlines – Double-Take Cream + Powder Blush Duo unites two complementary shades of cream and powder blush to lend your skin a bespoke glow.

Bestowing full, bold colour for a sexy, flawless flush, the cream diffuses seamlessly to lend a dewy hint-of-tint that can be effortlessly layered to increase the shade’s intensity – great if you want a just pinched-your-cheeks flush, while the powder applies like a dream and ‘dissolves’ upon contact to guarantee a ‘second skin’ effect without a tell-tale chalky finish. Boasting biomimetic pigments that mirror the skin's ceramide structure and ensure adhesion, while micronised pigments in the powder, alongside treated mica grant a luminous effect (without a trace of shimmer). With four colourways to choose from, take your pick from ‘She’s So LA’ (warm bronze and soft tan), ‘She’s That Girl’ (rosy pink and fuzzy peach), ‘Oh She’s Different’ (rosy red and warm, pinky coral) and ‘Do We Know Her?’ (hot, poppy orange and soft coral).

These duos come with a cream and a powder blush that compliment each other. Nothing to say much about the powder, they are buttery and blends well, but what interests me is the cream. To me they’re a kind of gel-like cream. There’s a certain level of sheerness. You can definitely achieve a dewy effect like the brand suggests.

Ok let’s start with Do We Know Her?

The cream shade might look a bit intense, but its actually blendable and is not that distinct if you use a light enough hand.

Next is Oh She’s Different.

At first I was afraid this duo might make me look like a baboon, but turns out its a really pretty mauve red combo. But I still had to use a very light hand with this. I’d say its better for medium to dark skin. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust myself to have a light enough hand.
