Review 2 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Very natural flush!
-03.01.12
Quick Take: very natural looking!
I bought this years ago and never could master applying it. It seemed to quickly dry out before I could even blend it. I threw it in my makeup drawer & didn't use it again for ages. I decided to give it another go a few weeks ago & love it now! The trick is to apply it right after you wash your face in the morning by swirling some directly onto the cheek while your face is still damp. Quickly blend with your four fingers and then immediately moisturize. The moisturizer will even out the color and set it. The flush is so natural & looks like I've been running outside on a winter day. Absolutely beautiful & it lasts the entire day. Will buy again!

Review 3 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Difficult To Apply
-02.08.12
Quick Take: difficult to apply, not long-lasting, darker than it appears
I've been wanting to try this product FOREVER but now that I've finally bought it, honestly, I'm pretty disappointed. Like the other reviewers said, the packaging is terrible. The stain (which has a watery texture) pools around the edges of the roller ball and the ball doesn't pick it up correctly, so it doesn't apply evenly. I found my finger is the best way to fix this, but then my finger is stained red! Oddly, it doesn't stain my lips with as much strength or intensity. I got the "Sheer Luck" shade and it's very dark (more plum or burgundy than deep red). It's a pretty color but would probably look better with a deeper skin color. It's not terrible, but it's not worth the price or reputation.

Review 4 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
uneven application
-01.20.12
I want this product to work, but it seems to always go on unevenly. i apply with a brush (the roll-on applicator is impossible...a better design is in order!), but there are bits of pigment that interfere with product flow.

Review 5 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Review 6 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Excellent color; bring your own moisture
-01.02.12
Have 2 colors (raspberry and bronze) The color is vivid and long-lasting. Deepness of color can be controlled in the application. Best advice: store upright so the color stays down and off the roller ball. Does require a separate lip balm or gloss to add moisture.

Review 7 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Gets compliments for color
-11.26.11
I bought this in Sheer Luck, which is supposed to be "sheer rose". It's a highly concentrated liquid that smells strongly of vanilla. Many people have complimented the color on my lips, and it is a beautiful color. Unfortunately, it's not a color that's very flattering on me. Lorac's idea of "rose" is way more purple than red. If you're looking for a burgundy lip/cheek stain, Sheer Luck may be just what you want. I like true reds, without any purple, so I'm just not crazy about Sheer Luck. I find this stain works better on lips than on my face, because it can gather in uneven places on my cheeks. I would like this more if its color was the "rose" (red) of Benetint.

Review 8 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash

Use a sponge
-11.18.11
Quick Take: natural-looking sheer
I have been using this product for years. I too had problems with too much coming out and staining fingers UNTIL I decided to use it with a small make-up sponge. I just dab the applicator and apply. You can control the coverage much better and no more stained fingers.
I absolutely love this stuff. It last a really, really long time when used this way and the color is so sheer and natural. It is far better than any other blush I have found.
Perhaps Lorac should merchandise it with a small sponge so that people will use it this way.

Review 9 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Okay, not stellar
-11.09.11
I found that these work really well on tan to deep complexions and give a very pretty and natural look. For someone with fair or light to even medium skin, you may have some trouble working with the shades since they do come out more bold than other stains.
The applicator isn't my favorite, I actually roll it onto my fingers and blend it out on cheeks rather than apply it directly from the roller ball.
To tone down the color and make it a little easier to blend, I add a drop of moisturizer to it when I'm working with it on cheeks just to sheer it out.

Review 10 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Applicator is terrible
-10.12.11
This was such a great idea and the color was great, but the applicator causes the color to come out in a way that makes it too wet and not evenly distributed. So, if you're going to use it, you need to be in the mirror and kind of pat it dry, which defeated the purpose.

Review 12 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
terrible
-09.30.11
Quick Take: awful, overpriced
This was quite possibly the worst cheek stain I've ever bought. It stains your fingers, goes on smeary--and sets before you can rub it in. Would never buy it again. And rolling it on? You'd have to be going to clown school!

Review 13 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Review 14 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Kind of a bother to use
-08.19.11
Rollerball applys very unevenly. Your lips need to be exfoliated and in good shape (not dry) for this to be spread on evenly. "Sheer luck" is quite dark, but if you blot it quickly you can get it lighter, but you have to move fast as this drys fast. If you have naturally dry lips, you will need a moisturizer over this. Seemed to last well, I still had color at the end of the day...I like the idea of lipstain, lip[stick disapears to fast for me, but this isn't my ideal product, mostly because of the delivery system...wish it had a brush. Would have been three stars, but for 20 bucks it should sing and dance for me.

Review 16 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Long lasting - great color!
-08.12.11
I love this blush. The travel size will last forever because a little goes a long way. It is a stain so you have to apply quickly but I havent had any issue. It does stain your finger a little but if you wash with soap right away most of it comes off. It is very light and you can control how deep you want your blush look. I have VERY fair skin and I still love this.

Review 17 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Review 18 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
The only blush I've used for years
-07.13.11
Quick Take: the one bit of makeup i can't go without.
I just came back to Sephora to order some more sheer wash & figured it was about time I review it. I have extremely oily skin & this is the only blush of any kind that lasts all day for me. The color is very natural & really looks like a flush to the cheeks instead of makeup. It does take some getting used to applying because if you don't immediately rub it in you'll get splotches, but once you get the hang of it it's not a problem. It's also great as a lip stain under gloss when you don't feel like lipstick but want a little color.

Review 19 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
SHEER EMOTION IS AWESOME - EASY ON MY LIPS
-07.09.11
Quick Take: very long lasting
This LORAC Sheer Wash in Travel Size Sheer Wash in Sheer Emotion is awesome. There's only a few lip products I like, although my friends try to get me to try everything in the hopes I'll find something I'll use everyday. I know I need to balance my eye makeup with a little bit of lip color, since I have very pale skin and pale lips. I received Sheer Wash as a prize at a makeup party. I love the roller-ball application and the color, although deeper than I would have chosen, surprisingly looks pretty good. I applied lightly, but still got total coverage on my lips. I think it could probably be layered for a slightly deeper tint. I didn't try it my cheeks, but it also can be used on cheeks. I applied this in the morning, and the tint lasted all day. It's really nice. I'm hoping to get it in another shade in the future.

Review 20 for Sheer Wash - Travel Size Sheer Wash
Color in "MAGIC" Sheer Wash best stain!
-06.26.11
I have been wearing sheer magic for about 12 years now. When I first bought this stain it was in a big bottle like a deodorant roll-on size. I only wear it on my lips and it is the best lip stain I have ever bought and I have a whole bucket of different brands!! When I bought the big bottle (at that time the travel was not around yet) I took it ever wear with me and I would use tape to make sure the lid did not come lose! I am a Flight Attendant and we have to wear Makeup. So this is the best because when my lip gloss wears off my lips still have a beautiful color! Then one season they had a special it was a round tin box and in it came a lip polish and a Travel Stain! I was so excited because it was a lot smaller then the original bottle, but when I got it in the mail it wasn't the color I loved it was called sheer luck. So a few years ago when I saw that they put all the colors in the travel size I couldn't be happier! Specially since I travel for a living, it makes it much easier then taking the the big one with me and having to tape it to secure it! The staying power of this stain is unreal! I wore it on a night out in the city and that night about 5 of us crashed back at my friends house and I shared a bed with my one friend, and when we woke up she said I wish my lips looked like yours they have a pretty color she then said it must be nice to not have to wear anything on your lips and still have color! The stain lasted over 15+ hrs . The funny thing is I thought my lips had a good natural color till i looked in the bathroom mirror and remembered it was the stain from the night out ! Like I said before I first bought this in the big bottle and I still have a good amount left(gross i know) a little goes a long way, but I love the travel size and to me its a great size cause I only use it on my lips! The travel will last me for a long time and I wonder if that's way they stopped making the big bottle? Either way its the Best Stain ever!!!
