Definition

Blush is a means to highlight the contours of the face. Traditionally, they were applied to the apples of the cheeks in order to emphasize their roundness and give the face a certain symmetry. But already from the 18th century, colored powder began to be used for correction: blush was applied to the cheekbones - above or below the cheekbone line, under the eyebrows, on the temples and on the chin, which made it possible to make the face more fresh and youthful in appearance.

In addition, for tanned skin, you can use a bronzer of a suitable shade and hide all imperfections. If the blush is part of the image, that is, it should focus attention on the cheekbones, then its color can be brighter - coral, intense pink. However, it should only be applied to the cheeks.

conclusions

Face blush is no less a versatile makeup tool than foundation or. When used correctly, you can highlight your advantages by emphasizing the line of your cheekbones, for example, hide flaws by disguising an overly angular jaw, and even change the proportions of your face.

Pupa cosmetics are not a frequent guest in my cosmetic bag. I received this blush as a gift. I’ve never used baked powder-blush-eyeshadow before, so I was very curious to try such an interesting product. So, let's talk about baked blush. Pupa Like a Doll Luminys Blush, in shade No. 103.

What does “baked” mean and what is the meaning of such products?

The blush production technology is quite specific: the mass obtained by combining all the necessary ingredients is placed in a mold and baked at a temperature of 40 degrees for a long time.

As a result of this, moisturizing components and beneficial substances are retained in the blush, and the shades become brighter and shinier. The texture of the blush is incredibly soft to the touch and truly silky.

Unlike regular compact blushes, baked blushes are much easier to apply and blend onto the skin, and apply more evenly, and also have good staying power, and do not crease or rub off throughout the day.

The advantages of baked blush also include their cost-effectiveness: very little blush is taken onto the brush, but this is quite enough to create the perfect makeup.

Baked blush shimmers and shimmers very beautifully, which gives the face a fresh and healthy look. They can be applied dry or wet to create light casual or bright evening make-up. Dry application creates a velvety effect, blush gives a slight shine. When applied with a damp brush, the color becomes more expressive, a satin sheen and mother-of-pearl shine appear.

As it turned out, baked products sparkle, spread well and are economical to use. Is this the case with Pupa Like a Doll Luminys Blush, in shade #103? Definitely yes.

Package. The blush case itself resembles a pebble from the sea coast - it fits very nicely in the hand. The bottom is made of transparent plastic, and the top is made of mirror.

There is a transparent window through which our blush can be seen.

Like many other Pupa products, the blush is packaged in a red cardboard box.

There is a small brush. It is quite soft and fluffy. Suitable for quickly applying blush after a working day (refresh your makeup - and go shopping or go for a walk).

This brush is also useful for carefully applying highlighter. In general, oddly enough, I am very pleased with the brush.

Hue.

Shade No. 103 is a pleasant pink with warm undertones. Quite shimmery, but the sparkles are not large. Blush adds to the face fresh look, are great for express makeup when you don’t want to bother with contouring, highlighters, etc. Thanks to its light, almost weightless texture, blush in shade No. 103 shimmers very beautifully in the sun. It turns out perfect option for a light spring look.

Application.

I use a regular or angled blush brush (both natural and synthetic) and apply it to the apples of my cheeks. Thanks, again, to the light texture, it is very difficult to overdo it with blush and apply too much of it. That's why the title of the review contains the phrase "error-free application."

Persistence.

Quite average. But I don’t expect weightless blushes to last 12 hours. If you often hold a smartphone or handset near your ear, be prepared for the fact that most of the blush will remain there. It is better, of course, to always have them in your cosmetic bag along with a brush - so that you can always refresh your makeup. I also noticed that in combination with powder the blush is more durable.

I really liked the product - the lightest blush from the “every day” category. And even with a nice, comfortable brush included. Despite the high cost, their consumption is quite low, so it is quite possible that I will purchase them again. I recommend!

4. Don't forget about the high shine of baked products. Sometimes it is a scattering of fine sand, which is not always easy to see, and sometimes it is large visible to the eye sparkles. Therefore, pay attention to the fact that baked powder or blush will not hide any visible imperfections; their main purpose is to highlight the skin. These products help to achieve the effect of healthy, glowing skin, which is quite difficult or even impossible to achieve with regular pressed powder or eye shadow.
