A finely-milled powder blush that delivers a soft, buildable coral-pink flush. Formulated with sebum-controlling powder, it helps your cheek colour stay fresh and vibrant without looking oily, making it perfect for Mauritius's warm and humid climate.

• Texture: Silky, pressed powder
• Finish: Soft matte with a natural-looking flush
• Shade: #OR202 Sweet Coral Candy is a bright and sweet pink-orange coral.
• Best for: Oily and combination skin types, or anyone wanting a long-lasting blush in the heat.

1. Base: Apply your daily sunscreen or foundation.
2. Blush [THIS PRODUCT]: Take the included puff, dab it onto the blush once or twice, and gently pat onto the apples of your cheeks.
3. Finish: Blend the edges for a natural look. You're ready to go!

Note: Already own a similar product? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

This blush is the perfect finishing touch for your morning makeup routine.

1. Skincare: Cleanse, tone, and moisturise as usual.
2. Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen and wait for it to set. This is a non-negotiable step to protect your skin.
3. Base Makeup (Optional): Apply your favourite foundation, BB cream, or cushion.
4. Blush [THIS PRODUCT]: Using the adorable puff, gently pat the colour onto the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards and outwards towards your temples.
5. Set (Optional): If you have very oily skin, you can lightly dust a translucent powder over the top to lock in the colour all day.

• Amount: Dab the provided puff onto the blush 1-2 times. This picks up the perfect amount of product for a natural look. It's buildable, so you can add more for a stronger pop of colour.
• Apply to: The apples of your cheeks. To find them, smile! The roundest, fullest part of your cheek is the perfect spot.
• Method: Gently pat, pat, pat the puff onto your cheeks. Avoid rubbing or dragging, as patting gives a more seamless, airbrushed finish and prevents lifting your base makeup.
• Frequency: Use daily as part of your makeup routine.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling):

• Ensure your moisturiser and sunscreen are fully absorbed before applying makeup. Wait 1-2 minutes.
• For a sheerer look, you can also use a fluffy blush brush instead of the puff. Swirl the brush in the pan, tap off the excess, and sweep onto the cheeks.
• If you apply too much, don't worry! Use a clean powder brush or your foundation sponge with a tiny bit of leftover foundation to lightly go over the edges and soften the colour.

• Immediate: A fresh, healthy-looking flush of colour on your cheeks with a soft-matte finish that helps control shine.
• Throughout the day: The sebum-control powder helps the colour stay true and fresh for hours, even in Mauritian humidity.

• Works Well With: Liquid foundations, BB creams, cushions, and tinted or non-tinted sunscreens. It layers beautifully over both cream and powder base products.
• Use Carefully With: Very dewy or "tacky" base products. Ensure your base is set or has absorbed before patting the blush on top to avoid patchiness. If using a very dewy foundation, you might prefer to apply a cream blush and set it with this powder blush for maximum longevity.
• Makeup Tips: For a soft, diffused look, apply the blush before your final layer of finishing powder. For a more vibrant look, apply it after.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. The formula contains sebum-absorbing powders like Talc, Silica, and Mica that help control shine throughout the day, giving a fresh, matte finish.
• Normal Skin: Very Good. Provides a silky, natural-looking flush that blends easily.
• Dry Skin: Good, with preparation. The powder is fine and not overly drying, but ensure your skin is well-moisturised before application to avoid it clinging to any dry patches. Applying over a hydrating primer or dewy foundation can help.

• Adding a natural and healthy flush of colour to the complexion.
• Controlling excess oil and shine on the cheeks.
• Achieving a long-lasting blush look that withstands heat and humidity.
• Brightening the complexion with a fresh, youthful pop of colour.

• MFDS Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a functional cosmetic by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).
• Claims Basis: The claim of "sebum control" is based on the known properties of ingredients in the formula, such as Talc and Silica, which are effective absorbents. This is an ingredient rationale, not a brand-published clinical test.

Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic for external use only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Talc & Silica: These fine mineral powders are the primary components that give the blush its silky texture and oil-absorbing properties. They help to create a smooth, matte finish on the skin and prevent excess shine.
• Mica: A mineral that adds a subtle, natural-looking sheen and helps the powder glide onto the skin smoothly.
• Diisostearyl Malate & Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin): These are emollients that help the powder feel soft and adhere to the skin, preventing a dry or chalky look. They contribute to the blush's blendability.

Full INCI List:

Talc, Mica, Silica, Diisostearyl Malate, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate, Magnesium Myristate, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, CI 19140 (Yellow 5 Lake), HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, CI 73360 (Red 30 Lake), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), 1,2-Hexanediol, Glyceryl Caprylate.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. There are no added artificial fragrances or essential oils listed in the ingredients.
• Scent: The product has a very faint, neutral powdery scent typical of makeup powders, with no discernible perfume. Intensity: 0/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided ingredient list.

This product is generally considered safe for all skin types.

• Who should use with caution: Those with a known allergy to cosmetic colorants like CI 19140 (Tartrazine) should patch test. Individuals with extremely dry or textured skin should moisturise well before application to ensure a smooth finish.
• Teens: Makeup is suitable for teens. Always ensure makeup is fully removed at the end of the day with a gentle cleanser to maintain skin health.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the blush to a clean patch of skin, like your inner arm or behind the ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe to apply to the face. Discontinue use if irritation develops.

• Texture: A very fine, soft, and silky pressed powder. It does not feel chalky or gritty.
• Finish: A soft-focus matte finish that looks natural on the skin. It helps to blur the appearance of pores slightly.
• Scent: Unscented.
• pH: Not applicable for a powder product.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, which may be a potential trigger for those with fungal acne. Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is advised.

• Issue: The blush looks patchy or clings to dry spots.

  Fix: Your skin may be dehydrated. Ensure you apply a good moisturiser or hydrating primer 5-10 minutes before your makeup. You can also try applying the blush with a fluffy brush for a more diffused application, rather than patting it on with the puff.

• Issue: I applied too much colour.

  Fix: Use a large, clean powder brush and gently buff over the area to blend and soften the colour. Alternatively, take your foundation sponge or puff with a tiny amount of leftover foundation and lightly pat over the blush to tone it down.

• Issue: The colour fades by the end of the day.

  Fix: While this blush has good longevity, very oily skin or extreme humidity can be a challenge. Try applying a makeup primer before your foundation, and set your final look with a light dusting of translucent setting powder or a setting spray.

This blush is an excellent choice for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The sebum-control powder is perfect for combating the shine and oiliness that comes with high humidity. It helps the blush stay in place without melting or fading, keeping your cheeks looking fresh.
• Drier Winters: The silky powder is not overly drying. Simply ensure your skin is well-moisturised as the base, and it will blend beautifully without emphasizing any seasonal dryness.
• AC/Indoor Air: The formula is long-wearing and won't fade or look patchy in air-conditioned environments.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our products, including this ETUDE blush, are sourced directly from the brand or their authorised distributors in South Korea.

• Ingredient Rationale: The product's ability to control oil and provide a smooth, matte finish is based on the known properties of its primary ingredients. Talc, Mica, and Silica are widely used in cosmetics for their excellent absorbent and texturising properties. They create a soft-focus effect and absorb excess sebum from the skin's surface, which contributes to the blush's longevity and fresh appearance in humid conditions.

• Format: 4g pressed powder in a lightweight, round plastic compact.
• Applicator: Comes with a signature soft, fluffy powder puff with a ribbon handle for easy application.
• Hygiene: The puff can be washed gently with soap and water and left to air dry. It's recommended to clean it weekly to prevent bacteria buildup.
• Practicality: The compact is small, light, and perfect for travel or carrying in your handbag for touch-ups. However, the domed shape can make it slightly difficult to stack for storage.
• Sustainability: The plastic compact (PP) can be recycled where facilities are available. Please check with local Mauritian recycling guidelines.

• A Reddit reviewer on r/AsianBeauty praised the Lovely Cookie Blusher line for being "pretty inexpensive and are really great quality." They noted the pigmentation is fantastic and they are easy to apply. (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, Jan 2016)
• Another reviewer mentioned that these blushes are a "cult favourite for a few years now" and remain one of ETUDE's top-selling lines. They compared the quality favorably to high-end brands like NARS and MAC. (makeupwithkokerface blog, Jan 2017)
• Fair Caveat: A common point of feedback is the packaging. While cute, the domed, round shape is "frustrating to store" as they tend to roll around. Additionally, some users find the included puff applies the blush too heavily and prefer using their own brush for a more controlled application. (Little Porcelain Princess blog, Jan 2016)

Founded in 1985 and later becoming part of the Amorepacific group, ETUDE (formerly Etude House) is a beloved South Korean brand known for its playful, princess-like aesthetic and affordable yet high-quality products.

• Sebum: Natural oil produced by the skin's sebaceous glands to keep it moisturised. Excess sebum can lead to a shiny appearance and clogged pores.

Is this blush suitable for dark skin tones?

The shade #OR202 Sweet Coral Candy is a bright coral-pink. On deeper skin tones, it will appear as a vibrant pop of colour. For a more subtle look, apply with a light hand. The pigmentation is buildable, allowing you to customise the intensity.

Do I have to use the puff?

No, you don't. While the puff is designed for a cute, dolly-like application by patting the colour on, many users prefer using a traditional fluffy blush brush for a more diffused and blended look. It's all about personal preference!

Is this blush shimmery or matte?

This shade has a soft-matte finish. It's designed to give a natural flush without any noticeable glitter or shimmer, making it great for everyday wear and for those who want to control shine.

• Best For: Oily to combination skin types looking for a long-wearing, matte blush.
• Key Benefits: Controls oil and shine, provides a buildable and natural-looking flush, and has a silky, blendable texture.
• Keep in Mind: The included puff can apply colour quite intensely, so a light hand or a separate brush is recommended for a softer look. The packaging is cute but not stackable. May not be suitable for those with fungal acne.
