Youngblood Blush

Youngblood blush in powder or cream, from a soft flush to vivid colour

Blush is the product that instantly brings the face to life. A touch of colour on the cheeks makes the skin look fresher and healthier, even if you wear little other makeup. That is why blush belongs in almost every look, from a calm daytime look to a bold evening look.

Youngblood has blush in two textures: a pressed mineral powder and a creamy cream stick. They differ in how you apply them, how they sit on the skin and which skin suits them best. Below you can read who each type is intended for, so choosing is easier.

How do you choose the right blush?

The choice starts with your skin type and your base. A powder blush stays put on combination or oily skin and over a powdered foundation, while a cream blush melts into drier or mature skin and works best with a liquid base. Next, look at the finish: do you want a matte, satin or glowy flush? And finally, convenience plays a part: do you like working with a brush, or would you rather apply colour quickly with your fingers?

Which type of blush suits you?

Pressed Mineral Blush: The classic choice for anyone who likes working with a brush. This talc-free, pressed powder is easy to dose and stays put on combination skin. There are 4 shades with a shimmer, satin or matte finish, plus the radiant pink blush topper Après-Ski for extra glow.

VividLuxe Crème Blush Stick: A creamy multi-stick for cheeks and lips that you blend out with your fingers or a brush. The cream melts into the skin, gives a radiant finish and is lovely on normal to drier skin. You can choose from 9 shades, from light nude pink to rich cinnamon, as a full-size 9.5 g stick or as a handy 2.5 g mini.

Tips for the right choice

• Skin type: on combination or oily skin, powder often lasts longer; on drier or mature skin, cream looks most beautiful
• Your base: cream over liquid foundation, powder over powdered skin; that way everything blends without patches
• Your skin tone: soft pink and peach shades look natural on fair skin, while coral, fuchsia and cinnamon give more colour on tan to deep skin
• Occasion: a thin layer on the apples during the day; for the evening, build it up or finish with a radiant blush topper

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between powder blush and cream blush?

A powder blush sits on the skin and gives a matte, satin or glowy finish that lasts a long time on combination skin. A cream blush melts into the skin and gives a natural, radiant finish that does not dry out. The difference lies mainly in texture, feel and application.

Which blush suits my skin type?

If you have combination or oily skin, the Pressed Mineral Blush is often the best choice. On normal, drier or mature skin, the VividLuxe Crème Blush Stick feels more comfortable and looks more natural. Not sure? Send us a message on WhatsApp with a photo in daylight.

Can I combine cream and powder blush?

Yes, this adds extra staying power and depth. Always apply the cream blush first and blend it out well. Then place a thin layer of powder blush in a similar shade in the same spot, so the colour lasts longer.

Where do I apply blush?

Smile and place the colour on the apples of your cheeks. Then blend upwards and outwards towards the temples, so the face looks lifted. Start with a little product; you can always add another layer.

Can I also use blush on my lips?

According to Youngblood, the VividLuxe Crème Blush Stick is made for cheeks and lips, so it makes it easy to create a monochrome look. The Pressed Mineral Blush is a powder and is intended for the cheeks. Looking for one product for cheeks and lips? Then choose the cream stick.
