TL;DR:

  • What It Is: A raspberry-tone cream blush
  • What It Does: Creates a pretty flush on cheeks — or allover.
  • Who It's For: Anyone who’s looking for a new blush or a monochromatic makeup look.

As the weather gets sweatier, I wear less and less clothes and makeup. My beauty routine gets streamlined to featherlight formulas, like this “blush serum” — Beautaniq Beauty Blush Serum in Magenta Sky, which is a raspberry-tone cream blush. I dab the opening of the tube onto the back of my hand without squeezing to dispense a pin-drop of the intense-yet-sheer pigment, then tap it onto my cheekbones, just below the outer corner of my eyes, blending out toward my temples. This placement brightens my eyes while creating a dreamy, lifted effect. Whatever is left on my finger, I smudge onto my lips for a coordinating blurred stain. From there, all I need is mascara.

You’ll find the Beautaniq Beauty Blush Serum in Magenta Sky in the August 2021 Allure Beauty Box.
