There’s been a definite shift in how we wear blush. Powders have given way to balmy sticks of soft colour, liquid and cream textures. And this is good news if you’re not 25 anymore. The advantages are many – first, we avoid another layer of powder, which has a habit of migrating into lines and sitting there. Powder can look flat on the skin.
Secondly, blushers are nearly always made predominantly of talc – look at the ingredients list and talc is invariably listed first. Do you really want a layer of talc sitting on your skin for the day? Most of us wouldn’t even put it on our bodies any more – that ended with our grandmothers’ generation. A mineral, made of silicon and magnesium silicate, often combined with corn starch, talc is known to absorb moisture and keep skin dry. Which isn’t what I want on my face.
It’s a bit of a revelation, once you make the change. A tinted balm or cream texture is such an easy, flattering way to add a little colour to the skin, not to mention more natural-looking. It’s all about that elusive healthy glow, and light-catching sheen. You’ll find that people compliment your skin and tell you how well you look. And this is precisely why Bobbi Brown’s Jones Road Miracle Balm is doing so well – that combination of colour and moisture is a winner.
Plus a balm stick is quick to swipe on, handy to take with you, and nearly impossible to get wrong – just blend in well. We’re seeing more and more “lip and cheek tint” formulas, with a dual purpose, which is good from both a complexion point of view, and an environmental one, if it’s helping to cut down on the number of products we consume.Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks. This is expensive, but one of the absolute best.
