Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Blushing Nude 4g

Creamy lipstick in a light, rosy nude for a fresh, flushed lip

Some nudes make the lips almost invisible. A rosy nude does the opposite: it gives the lips a soft flush, as if that were their natural colour. It looks fresh and healthy, especially paired with a touch of blush.

Blushing Nude is just such a rosy nude: light, soft and with just enough colour. The Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Blushing Nude has a creamy, silky formula that glides effortlessly over the lips. The colour is full and true, with a satin crème finish and a comfortable, cushiony feel. According to Youngblood, the lipstick leaves the lips soft, cared for and beautifully defined.

Colour: Blushing Nude is a light, rosy nude: slightly more colour than Naked and rosier than Barely Nude. If you want a more distinct pink, choose Rosewater.

Active ingredients

This is what's in the lipstick and what it does:

Aloe vera and chamomile: According to Youngblood, aloe vera and chamomile extracts soothe and hydrate. They help keep the lips soft and balanced.

Sunflower oil: A nourishing oil that leaves the lips feeling soft and comfortable. Together with castor oil, it creates the creamy, cushiony texture.

Mica: Ethically sourced, according to Youngblood. Mica gives a subtle sheen and a silky texture, and contributes to the satin crème finish.

Jojoba oil: Simmondsia chinensis. According to Youngblood, jojoba oil cares for and hydrates the lips, so the lipstick glides smoothly and the lips feel soft.

Vitamin E: Listed in the ingredients as tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate. It nourishes and softens the lips and helps keep the oils in the formula stable.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Blushing Nude and Naked?

Both are light nudes with a pink tone. Blushing Nude gives slightly more colour and a soft flush, while Naked stays closer to a natural lip colour. Choose Blushing Nude if you want just a bit more freshness.

Should I pair Blushing Nude with blush?

Yes, a rosy nude and a soft pink or peach blush together create a fresh, cohesive look. Keep the rest of your make-up light, for example with mascara and a little highlighter. That way the overall look stays natural.

Is Blushing Nude suitable for mature skin?

A soft, rosy nude is often flattering on mature skin, because it adds freshness without looking harsh. Outline the lips first with a lip liner, so the lipstick doesn't bleed into the fine lines around the mouth. Apply the lipstick in a thin layer.

Which lip liner goes with Blushing Nude?

The Lip Liner Pencil Pout goes well with Blushing Nude. Use it to outline the lips first and lightly fill them in; that way the lipstick stays put for longer and doesn't bleed. Always choose a lip liner that is as dark as or just slightly darker than your lipstick.

Does the lipstick dry out my lips?

The formula contains nourishing oils such as jojoba oil, sunflower oil and castor oil, plus vitamin E. According to Youngblood, the lipstick leaves the lips feeling soft and cared for. If you have very dry lips, apply a lip balm beforehand and let it absorb for a moment.
