Finding a blush that suits your skin tone will be difficult. As a rule, I find yourself with a blush that appears painfully pink on me — not in a cute, bashful, my-crush-just-entered-the-party way, but more like I just slipped and fell and won’t ever get better from this moment. That’s, until I stumbled upon Live Tinted’s Huebeam Blushing Bronzer.
For context, I’m South Asian (Pakistan rise!), so I feel especially seen by Live Tinted. Founder Deepica Mutyala created the brand with the goal of providing makeup for individuals who “appear to be us,” and so they have actually delivered on that promise with quite a lot of products that focus on hyperpigmentation, a standard concern for the South Asian community. In addition they recently launched an invisible sunscreen persist with address concerns darker skin tones can have about white solid that always comes with SPF. While this “blushing bronzer” looks great on my skin tone, I even have found that it flatters every complexion, not only those with a skin tone much like mine. That is the great thing about brands with a robust cultural identity — they will address specific concerns without excluding others.
At $38, this product doesn’t come low-cost, however it’s not just a blush. It is a face palette that features one blush and two bronzers in a good looking gradient finish. It’s the last word multitasker — a three-in-one product with no negative connotations (unlike certain do-it-all body washes). The three shades help you customize your look: You’ll be able to mix all of the shades together or use a dual-ended brush (just like the one from Hourglasswhich is my personal favorite) to use the bronzer and blush individually. The pigments are deep and wealthy but lay down gently on the skin, so there is no room for anyone to make snide remarks about how much you “love makeup.” It also has a no-sparkle, natural finish, which I like because some blushes can really provide you with that Cullen family glow, and I’m no Renesmee.
Typically, I wish to mix all three shades together and apply them along my cheekbone for a sun-kissed look. It pairs well with my existing base routine, which changes often but currently includes Shiseido’s Urban Environment Vita-Clear Sunscreen SPF 42 and either Rare Beauty’s Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer or Makeup Eternally’s HD Skin Matte Velvet Powder Foundation depending on how much coverage I’m in search of. Huebeam layers nicely on each tinted moisturizer and powder foundation — a formidable feat considering their completely different textures.
The packaging of this product can be ‘gram-friendly, with a big mirror that ensures you never miss a spot while on the go. It’s perfect for travel and for many who need to pack less because it’s a three-in-one product. That said, the standard of the ingredients is just as essential because the packaging. This product is infused with niacinamide to assist fade dark spots, chamomile flower extract to smooth the skin’s surface (ideal for those with texture concerns), and hyaluronic acid to offer hydration. Based on cosmetic chemist Ginger Kingthe ingredient nylon-12 gives the blush its soft, velvety feel, and niacinamide “helps control oil while sodium hyaluronate provides moisturization.”
If you happen to’re trying to streamline your routine, that is the blunzer (workshopping the name) for you. Get it now at livetinted.com or ulta.com.
