Ingredients and why they matter
- Isodecyl Isononanoate — a lightweight emollient that helps the product glide smoothly and leave a satin finish.
- Silica — provides a soft, powdery texture that aids in blurring fine lines and delivering a controlled color payoff.
- Meadowfoam Seed Oil (Limnanthes Alba) — deeply conditioning, helping to nourish the skin while maintaining comfortable wear.
- Kaolin — a cosmetic clay that contributes to a refined slip and helps color adhere evenly to skin.
- Other conditioning oils and waxes ensure the product blends easily and stays put on cheeks, lips, and eyes.
Usage tips and who this is for
- Apply to clean skin for a monochrome look across cheeks, lips, and eyes, or target a single area for focused color.
- Blend with fingertips using short sweeping or tapping motions to diffuse the color smoothly.
- Brush users can pick up product directly from the stick with a preferred tool and blend onto skin; for cheeks use brushes like #15 Precision Powder Brush or #16 Blush Brush; for eyes, use #21 Small Eyeshadow Brush, #24 High-Pigment Eyeshadow Brush, or #25 Smudge Brush.
- Layer under your favorite powder blush to create deeper color dimensions and contouring effects on the lower cheekbones.
For safety, test a small area first to ensure there is no sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Follow the included product instructions for usage and storage.
