LadyLondon2 review for Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed

I am a huge fan of this blush, because it’s long wearing and uses the same formula as the original Blurring Balm Powder, which smooths texture, blurs the skin and transforms from a creamy balm into a soft matte powder finish after application. It’s available in 7 different colours and retails for £23. The shade Jubilee is a beautiful, rich terracotta brown which is flattering on different complexions and suitable for both casual daytime or glam evening looks. Application: This blush can be applied with fingers, a brush or a damp Beauty Blender, depending on personal preference. I like applying this blush with my fingers or a synthetic brush, my favourite being the Danessa Myricks Yuumy 1.0 brush because it’s soft with just the right amount of firmness. It’s also angled with a flat base, which allows for a precise, even application of colour and blends the product so it looks flawless. However, the medium, domed Zoeva 110 Face Shape brush and the large domed Sonia G Fusion Classic Face brush also work well. Initially, I tried to blend the blush out using a buffing motion, as I do with powder blushes, but that technique lifted the product underneath and made the coverage look uneven. However, when I switched to using a patting motion that didn’t occur. Once I had the right technique I was able to achieve the optimum finish with this blush, and it was easy to build intensity with even, opaque coverage, that looked smooth, blurred and well blended, with a soft matte finish. Pros: - Same formula as the original Blurring Balm Powder - Pigmented - Buildable coverage - Long wearing - Can be applied with fingers, brush or sponge - Helpful application tips and tutorials available on the brand’s Instagram page
