Coralicious is described as "coral with gold glitter." It's a light-medium pinky coral with warm undertones and a shimmery finish. I find this shade flattering against my yellow complexion and imparts a warm dewy glow on my cheeks. The coral shade looks natural and is suitable for an everyday makeup look.

Pigmentation is good with the color being buildable to an extent but will look more shimmery and "wet" with more layers. It will tend to emphasize skin texture if you apply too much. The soft and creamy formula makes it easy to spread out on the cheeks. In contrast to it's claim, this doesn't set right away so you have time to blend the product on the skin.

It applied smoothly and sets to a powdery finish. Also, it felt very comfortable on my skin - without any sticky nor tacky feel. I have noticed some transfer of color when I touch my skin even after a few hours. You can use light dusting of setting powder to avoid this. The color lasted up to four hours on my cheeks and faded evenly.
