Cheeky Coral
Iconic London Cheeky Coral Sheer Blush ($27.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a medium coral with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones and a matte finish. It had a particularly watery and fluid texture initially, cool as it hit my skin, but it dried down in about 10 seconds to a mostly matte finish.
The product had very sheer color coverage in each layer, even if applied more heavily, because the texture leant itself to being spread out readily. I didn’t have any issues applying on top of foundation or just over bare skin. It stayed on nicely for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$27.00/0.42 oz. - $64.29 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "veil of soft-focus colour" with a "gel-to-watercolour formula" that can be built up if desired. The characterstic that will make or break whether this is a go-to is in the name: sheer. It ended up have incredibly sheer coverage--a veil, indeed!--applied, though it could be built up after waiting for each layer to drydown. The formula was less dewy than I expected and had a more full-on drydown, but it was conducive to building up product.
The consistency was thin, watery with some susbstance to it (the "gel" feel) and spreadable. I liked applying some to the back of my hand, then gently tapping a small amount to my skin and going back for more as necessary. The formula dried down in about 10 to 15 seconds, faster when less product was used (and more didn't give more coverage, just required one to spread it out across a larger area).
Once in place, the product lasted between seven and eight hours on me.
