Sporting a Natural Flush using Bodyshop's Tints and Maybelline's Mineral Blush


Q:  How do I keep my Bodyshop cheek tint long-lasting?

A: I top it off with my Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals in Gentle Pink!


Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Luminous Blush in Gentle Pink, around 350php (~$7)





Swatch: no shimmers but it glows; luminous indeed!


It even has instructions at the box's back!



I dab Bodyshop's tint over the apples of my cheeks, then use Charm's stippling brush to get a small amount of mineral blush and dust it over the tint.... and voila!  A natural flush that lasts longer!





Here's how the tandem worked on my cheeks after an evening reunion (~6 to 7hours post-application; blotted twice):


Not as stunning as how it looked before going out; nevertheless, it still looked healthy on me
(this post has the amount of scars I had to cover up, scroll through the bottom)

What I used:
FACE:
Clinique DDMG
Smashbox Photofinish Primer Clear
Cinema Secrets Ultimate Foundation in 302-65A
Aromaleigh URFP in Peaches and Cream to 'degrease' my face from the concealer
Joppa Grecian Gold Mineral Foundation
Aromaleigh URFP again to seal in everything

LIPS:
Still, The Bodyshop Lip and Cheek Tint!


My tattered and torn Bodyshop Lip and Cheek Tint; I love it to bits!  Surprisingly, this baby knocked out NARS powder blushes bad in my case...



I know there are a lot of people who are wary about getting this cheek tint because of:

application issues
dissatisfaction in color pay-off
some reviews that say it doesn't last long

But I hope you can:

try using a flat foundation brush to distribute the gel
experiment with building up its color
digest what I've reviewed because it can really last long

Because I believe that the Bodyshop lip and cheek tint gives the best healthy blush and I want you to experience it, too!

Thanks for reading!

  2. It looks nice! I was just wondering, do you apply the cheek tint OVER foundation? Isn't it hard to blend?

  3. Nikki --- the reason why I got Gentle Pink, among their numerous shades, was that I see how natural it is on your blog posts *wink*

    Soapaholic --- Yep, over my powder foundie (with my my middle finger) sis! I'm not a makeup pro, but I never found it hard to apply this way.
