Youngblood Mini VividLuxe Crème Blush Stick Gelato 2.5g

Mini cream blush stick in dusty mauve for an understated flush

Mauve sits between pink, purple and brown, and that is exactly what makes it such an understated, refined blush colour. It gives the face a soft wash of colour that doesn't look bright or sweet. Especially in a natural look with warm or smoky eyes, mauve is a lovely, modern choice.

The Youngblood Mini VividLuxe Crème Blush Stick Gelato is a dusty mauve in a 2.5 g stick, for cheeks and lips. The creamy formula melts into the skin and gives a soft, radiant colour with a second-skin finish. You build it up from a subtle wash to a more defined flush. Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and shea butter make the formula caring.

Colour: Gelato is the dusty mauve of the VividLuxe range: a muted colour between pink and brown. Mulberry is the deeper dusty rose, Crème Brûlée the lighter nude pink and Tiramisu the warm cinnamon.

Active ingredients

Gelato has the same caring formula as the other VividLuxe shades:

Niacinamide: Supports an even, well-cared-for look. A muted shade like Gelato looks its best on a calm base.

Hyaluronic acid: Holds moisture in the skin, so the cream stays supple and the skin looks soft. As a result, the cream doesn't dry out on the cheeks and the mauve colour stays soft.

Shea butter: Nourishes skin and lips and makes the formula creamy. It supports the moisture barrier, which is especially nice if you wear Gelato as a lip colour.

Acetyl hexapeptide-8: A peptide included in the formula as a caring extra. This way, Gelato combines a muted colour with a little skincare.

Hemisqualane: A light softening ingredient that holds moisture without feeling greasy. It lets the stick glide smoothly, so you can easily work the colour in with your fingertips.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is mauve?

Mauve is a muted colour between pink, purple and brown. On the cheeks, it gives a soft, natural wash of colour that looks less sweet than pink. That is why mauve suits a refined, understated look.

How do I choose between Gelato and Mulberry?

Gelato is a dusty mauve and looks soft and understated. Mulberry is a deeper, richer pink with more colour. Choose Gelato for a subtle, modern flush and Mulberry if you want a more defined, romantic colour.

Can I wear Gelato as a lip colour?

Yes, the stick is made for cheeks and lips. On the lips, Gelato gives a muted mauve colour that suits many looks. Dab it on with your fingertip for a soft stain, or apply it directly for more coverage.

Is Gelato suitable for mature skin?

Yes, a muted colour like mauve is often flattering on mature skin, because it doesn't look bright or sweet. The cream formula doesn't sit dry on the skin. Apply Gelato thinly and blend upwards for a soft, natural flush.

Why does mauve suit smoky eye make-up?

Smoky eye make-up draws a lot of attention, so a bright blush can quickly become too much. Mauve adds colour and life but stays in the background. This keeps your look balanced, with the focus on your eyes.
