The blush blindness trend may have taken the internet by storm but I could never relate as a dark-skinned girlie. As a teenager, I thought blush was something only those with lighter skin tones could pull off. When I finally learned that people with my skin tone also use blush, I struggled to find the perfect shade that delivered a natural, dewy blush look for the minimal ‘Clean Girl’ aesthetic. A few products have come close to giving me the right balance but none have been as perfect as the New Kay Beauty Velvet Creme Multi-Use Blush.
It delivers intense pigment while blending like a dream and giving an almost blurred effect once it settles. Of course, I then made my colleagues try out the blush and all of us with different skin tones could use all of the shades and it still looked good. The blush is expertly tailored to complement all skin tones and has an almost magical quality of delivering a soft-focus effect on the skin. Let’s explore exactly how the formula works, the shade range, and all about its ingredients.
Unique Cream-To-Powder Formula
When you first touch the Kay Beauty Velvet Creme Multi-Use Blush in the pan, it will melt into a creamy texture. As you apply the blush, it will offer a soft powdery finish and then seamlessly blend into the skin. The blush delivers intense pigment, so a little goes a long way, and it is super buildable for a naturally flushed look.
Multi-use Hero
If something is taking up space in my makeup kit, I prefer it to have different uses and this blush does not disappoint in the multi-tasking department. In addition to the cheeks, the blush can be used on your eyes and lips – perfect for a monochrome makeup look. Just a few dabs on the eyelids, cheeks, and lips and you have the ultimate 5-minute makeup hack to ever exist.
You can also play around with different application techniques to get different looks. For a sunkissed glow, draw a W with the blush on your cheeks and nose. To get a perfect snatched look, apply blush on the high points of your face. If you just want a soft flush, apply it just on the apples of your cheeks.
The most important step? Blend, blend, blend.
Four Velvety Shades
The blush shades from this range are adapted to every skin tone and can be used depending on the look you’re going for. Soften is a great blush shade for daily use, and Tender is your companion for soft-glam looks, Deepen is more suited for cool-toned makeup looks, and Awaken should be your go-to for high-glam makeup looks.
Ingredients That Kare
As someone who is always on the hunt for hybrid beauty products, you can always trust Kay Beauty to make sure their makeup is made of caring, skin-safe ingredients. The new Kay Beauty Velvet Creme Multi-Use Blush is enriched with green tea extracts to calm irritation while refreshing and toning the skin.
