Purple Star emoji 9 items
As a South Asian girl, it took a while understand how blush works for me, if I need it, when I’ll wear it and how to place it. There were so many formulas, coverage types, color families, placement and blending techniques. I finally ordered 15 bl...

Freckle is a beauty natural peach. Not as popular as toasted teddy but I think it’s more natural and better for daily wear. It’s worth the hype for how blendable and buildable it is.

My favourite nude-brown shade is Power Hour. Always apply with a brush. I take some on the brush, tap on the back of my hand and then diffuse onto cheeks. Looks great on South Asian skin, even with a little bronzer.

The color is a beautiful warm terracotta and the formula is just winning. It glides on, is cooling and very light for buildable coverage. Great everyday blush for a natural flush

Persimmon is a nice sheer red-orange shade that looks great on South Asian undertones with base makeup or without. Very blendable with fingers but I prefer a brush!

Similar to Power Hour, Fox is more of a brown-nude and it has the same sheer buildable coverage as Persimmon. Very workable with fingers but I prefer a brush for a diffused look.

Resilience is a warm chestnut and is highly pigmented but blends out beautifully diffused. This shade sets dewy. I only use one dot or will put the color on my hand and then use a brush to tap it on

Love is a matte terracotta and it’s absolutely beautiful for those rosy red cheeks for a natural South Asian flush. It dries down so well

It’s a really nice formula - literally feels like water and it’s a very light flush. So hard to have blush blindness, more likely that you won’t wear enough. Break the micro color particles down on the back of your hand and then use a brush to apply.
