It’s pigmented and easily to apply. I don’t feel like you need to use a ton of product which makes the blush last so long!

This is my favorite cleanser, it is a two in one because it removes makeup and cleans your skin in one round! I use it twice a day and it’s not too harsh. This is the first step of my routine!
