Let me start by saying I've been on a *mission* to find the perfect baking powder since my holy grail product changed its formula (we've all been there, right?). The HUDA BEAUTY Cherry Blossom shade caught my eye because it promised that perfect cool-toned brightening effect.

The first time I tried it, I was *shook* - the texture is like powdered silk. It blends effortlessly with both brushes and sponges, and doesn't cake up like some drugstore options I've tried. That initial 'filter effect' is real - my skin looked airbrushed in natural light.

But here's the tea: after 5-6 hours of wear, I noticed some creasing around my smile lines. If you have dry skin like me, definitely prep with extra hydration. The bright pink tone works magic for cool undertones but could look clownish if you're warmer (test in store first!).

Pro tip: Spritz setting spray after application and it becomes *chef's kiss*. While not perfect for 12-hour wear, it's become my go-to for events where I want that instant 'wow' factor. Just keep a mini powder puff for touch-ups!
