It’s no secret that cream blushes have been popping up everywhere. Like e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. That’s why we were *not* surprised when Huda took her own unique twist on this new worldwide fave (and we dare say, made the product that trumps all others). We chatted with Dubai’s queen bee to find out all the w’s on her Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint Blush Sticks.
It’s ~all~ about radiant skin
In January, Huda told us that 2022 was gonna be all about showing off your radiant skin, and her new Cheeky Tint Blush Sticks “definitely fits into the skin-focused hybrid beauty trend in that it allows your complexion to shine through as it creates a wash of color, giving a sun-kissed lift to the face. Cream blushes have become so popular because they give you such a radiant natural look, and Cheeky Tint stands out as it’s almost a blush-highlight hybrid because it is so dewy and glowy. We developed a super unique, creamy formula that comes in five beautiful shades to suit every delicious skin tone and work with any skin type.”
Pores, rejoice
Personally, we love the sound of this, because as the temp continues to rise (😫) in the Middle East, there’s one thing we *all* need to do. Lighten up. Heavy makeup is not on our spring agenda (and tbh, our pores are squealin’ with excitement). Huda is totally aligned with us at Cosmo ME on this, too.
“Following the first blush that we released with our GloWish line, we wanted to create something just for Huda Beauty. I’m so into having a glowy, beautiful fresh complexion, a cream blush is one of the best ways to achieve that look. The stick format makes the application super easy, so you can just apply it directly to your face and blend it out with your fingers.”
“It was super important for us to use ingredients that not only look good but are skin-loving as well. Cheeky Tint is infused with a moisturizing blend of lychee extract and Vitamin E and the formula is instantly moisturizing without feeling heavy and is non-comedogenic.” (Supplied)
The packaging
“In terms of the inspo for the packaging, we wanted to do something quite different with this and really play with the colors. The soft matte finish creates just the right amount of playfulness whilst allowing people to see which shade they were trying out and choosing from the packaging itself.”
How to use
“For a sheer, second-skin finish, I recommend dotting or swiping Cheeky Tint directly onto the cheeks and blending out using your fingers or a brush. For a full face glam, I recommend using our Face and Cheek Color brush for a seamless blend. It sweeps the formula onto the skin like literal butter, without disturbing the base beneath. Repeat to add up the pigment to add intensity and go for that full beat. And yes, Cheeky Tints are suitable for use on lips as well. She’s a multi-use stick that can do both!”
“With Cheeky Tint, we want to encourage our community to play with makeup and have fun with it! There’s no right or wrong way to wear blush, so try different things and find out what makes you feel the best!”
