Cheek / Lip Tint: Sangha

For reference, I'm have light olive skin -- On me, I find that Sangha looks very pink rather than red. The formula is super lovely, but it sheers out to a bright warm pink on my lips and cheeks rather than looking like a true red. I might have different results with a lip brush, but no matter how much I build the color it always looks pink next to my warm yellow undertones. With that said, a bright red blush is more wearable than you might think so if you are concerned a bright red blush will be a bit fierce, it sheers out beautifully.

-2 stars because no matter how much I try to build it I always end up with pink...+1 because it's a surprisingly wearable blush shade anyway.

Sangha is an amazing colour, it is really lovely as a cheek tint and it mixes well with ascend and pixie, enhancing these hues and giving a longer lasting color.

I am really pleased with my purchase and is a must have if you like mixing up your colors and playing with your makeup to create your own palette.

Love all my lip/cheek tints and find their is no waste as any left over can be swiped on cheeks, lips and eyes.

Can't see myself ever using anything but Aleph.

I was really surprised that the first colour I brought was a red. I've never brought red lipstick before as for some reason it ends up making my fair skin paler and gives me the look of a vampire. However I was encouraged to try it by a lovely lady at Skintopia (Lambton Quay) when I went to try out the range. It takes on a lovely pink tone on my skin and when put on as full strength it's a beautiful red that brings a brightness to my face. If you're not sure on the lip colours find a stockist and go try them - what I had planned to buy was not necessarily the colours that looked the best.

Initially skeptical and hesitated ordering as I had bought Crush, Reve, Pixie, Ascend, Grounded and never found the shade / depth of colour as depicted on the website. But once I got Sangha it has been my go to lip colour. I wear it 3 ways : on its own , mixed with Star Radiance( to get a pinker tone) and over summer mixed with Ascend. I don't have any problem with the colour bleeding and like the way my lips feel conditioned. I generally use the lip brush for application. Will definitely be reordering.

Sangha is the colour of summer! Pohutukawa flowers and a warm red sunset over the estuary. A truly stunning red that does not bleed! It leans warm on me, and the new brush gives intensity, Just perfect!
