BEAUTY BIO

My makeup mantra is 'bolder the better', as a big fan of vibrant pinks and corals, this product looks right up my ally. Plus, I’m a complete slave to cute packaging and Milk ALWAYS comes through. That being said, I usually steer clear from blush because my cheeks are naturally flushed, so I usually go for a champagne highlight and contour over cheek tint.

THE REVIEW

When these little sticks landed on my desk I turned into the real-life version of the heart-eye-emoji. I swatched the colours, Halo, Astro and Flare. I was instantly drawn to the Flare colour, with its candy-pop coral shade, and after swatching, it was still my favourite. The plum comes off a lot sheerer than I was expecting, which is a relief because as a tint you want something super wearable, rather than a deep plum colour like the packaging would suggest. The Halo shade I feel would look AMAZE on darker skin tones, rather than mine as my skin has very pink undertones so it clashes - however, on black skin it would really pop as a cheek tint.

I applied the coral on my cheekbones and the plum to my lips, and I’ve got to say, this little coral baby might just become my new handbag staple. It literally is dewy flush on the fly; taking about 20 seconds to dot on and blend. These tints work one of two ways, either dab on lightly to add a sheer finish or you can build them into a bolder colour - I opted to leave my lips sheer, and build on my cheeks.

It feels refreshing, and moisturising, the perfect blend of skincare and makeup. My hangover looks nonexistent now, with my new found popsicle glow. All in all, I completely get why these sold out instantly in the USA.
