I try: Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Luminous Crème Blush

I have to admit that I wasn’t hugely familiar with Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics when I received a couple of their beautiful new releases across my desk this week, but I’m definitely impressed! Especially given that one of them is a crème blush, a formulation I’m all about the older I get.

Called simply Luminous Crème Blush, it is a cream textured blush that combines a shimmering glow with sheer, longwearing colour. It can be worn as a cheek colour or highlighter depending on the shade, or layered with your own favourite powder blushes for extra colour and staying power.

Perfect for skin that is a little older or on the dry side especially, the beautiful formula contains Vitamins C and E in a nourishing blend that works together to help protect against oxidative stress, the moisturising botanical Allantoin and Jojoba Esters - an excellent emollient. It’s also oil-free, meaning that you can use these little pots of joy even if your skin is on the shinier side.

It’s available in six shades super versatile shades including two I’m currently giving a whirl: Taffeta (a delicate bubble gum pink) and Tropical Glow - a peachy-pink tone with golden shimmer that will be in high rotation come summer.

To use, apply a little with your fingertips until you have your desired hue and then blend quickly before the colour sets – this formula is designed to stick around!
