LR Signature Blush Light Pink – a fresh flush when your cheeks look pale and washed out

Why does your face look pale once your base is on?

Foundation and concealer do a good job of evening out your skin, but they also cover the natural colour in your cheeks. Add a grey British winter, too little sleep or a long day indoors, and the face can quickly look tired and colourless. Blush is the fastest way to put that life back.

The LR Signature Blush in Light Pink is a liquid, so it melts into the skin instead of sitting on top like a powder can. According to LR, it gives a touch of colour with a delicate pearly finish for a fresh, lively and natural look. The base is ylang ylang flower water, which LR describes as moisturising and caring, and the formula includes a collagen ingredient that LR says helps the skin look revitalised.

Light Pink is a soft shade. One or two dots look like a natural flush, and for an evening you can add more.

What goes into it?

The full ingredient list is on the LR product page.

How should you use it?

• After bronzer: if you use bronzer for depth, apply the blush afterwards.
• Start with a little: put a dot on the back of your hand or directly on your cheek.
• Blend: spread it over the cheeks and up onto the cheekbones with a sponge, a brush or your fingers.
• For a youthful freshness: add a tiny amount to the bridge or tip of your nose.
• On the eyes: blend a thin layer over the lids for a soft, harmonious look.

Is there anything to watch out for?

• When you use it as eyeshadow, keep it on the lids and away from the eyes themselves.

What do people ask about it?

How do I apply liquid blush without streaks?

Start with a small dot and blend it straight away with a sponge, brush or your fingertips. LR states that the formula blends easily without residue or patches.

Does Light Pink suit fair skin?

Light Pink is a soft, light shade, and its coverage is buildable, so you can keep it very sheer on fair skin and add more if you want stronger colour.

Can I use the blush on my eyes?

Yes. LR states that it can also be used as eyeshadow for a harmonious look.

Is liquid blush better than powder blush?

It depends on your skin and taste. A liquid blush like this one melts into the skin with a fresh, natural finish. If your skin gets shiny, a powder such as the Multi Finish Duo may suit you better.
