If Cream Blush Scares You, Just Get This One
If Cream Blush Scares You, Just Get This One
WHAT: Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Luminous Tinted Balm
WHY: Blush is...confusing.
Cream, powder, apples, cheekbones. It’s all murky. Blush has an extremely bad PR company because it should be simple, but somehow, it’s not.
In general though, cream blush is easier to use, looks more natural, and works better for mature skin. Powder blush, conversely, can sit on the skin, exacerbate lines, emphasize texture, and just generally look like you’re wearing blush. Which is not the goal. The goal is to look as though you’ve just been skiing vigorously and are now winding down by the fireplace with flushed cheeks while holding some kind of hot beverage with both hands.
And while there are a great number of cream blushes that achieve this effect, none do it quite so naturally and effortlessly as the Tower 28 cream blush. And more specifically, in the color “magic hour.” God, just the name alone.
A few finger smears into the pot and some taps on the cheeks and nose give you that aforementioned après-ski glow, with an almost second-skin finish. You sort of can’t mess it up. Even if you try.
As an added bonus, this entire line is designed for sensitive skin. So if bumps or spots or hives have plagued you, this blush is specifically formulated to soothe you, calm you, comfort you. And it does.
Risk takers might also want to throw caution to the wind and try the color “golden hour” which looks frighteningly neon in the pot, but actually makes your face look like a perfect, peachy sunset.
Certified clean at Sephora, rich with green tea and aloe vera, this blush will instantly become your new favorite thing.
Oh, and their lip gloss is also a revelation. Wow.
