This is an ultra-fine, silky powder blush in a pale, milky, cool-toned pink shade. Its "blurring" formula helps to smooth the appearance of skin texture and pores for a soft, natural-looking flush. The sheer, buildable pigment creates a watercolor-like effect on the cheeks.

Crucial Shade Information: W02 Strawberry Milk is specifically designed for very fair to light skin tones with cool or neutral undertones. On medium to deep skin tones, this shade will likely not be visible or may appear as a chalky, ashy cast. It is not recommended for adding color to deeper complexions.

1. Base: Apply after your sunscreen and foundation/BB cream.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Using a fluffy blush brush, lightly swirl into the pan, tap off the excess, and sweep onto the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards and outwards.
3. Finish: Set with a light dusting of powder if desired.

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

Blush is one of the final steps in your morning makeup routine. Here is a typical order:

1. Skincare: Cleanser → Toner/Serum → Moisturiser.
2. Sun Protection: Sunscreen SPF 30+ (wait 1-2 minutes for it to set).
3. Base Makeup: Primer (optional) → Foundation / BB Cream / Cushion → Concealer.
4. Set (optional): Lightly apply setting powder to the areas you applied base makeup.
5. [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply the blush to the apples of the cheeks.
6. Finish: Setting spray (optional), brows, lips, and other color makeup.

• Amount: This blush is sheer. Start with a light swirl in the pan with a soft, fluffy brush. Tap off excess powder before applying. Build up in thin layers to achieve your desired intensity.
• Apply to: The apples of your cheeks. Smile gently to find the fullest part of your cheek, and apply the color there, blending upwards towards your temples.
• Method: Use soft, sweeping or circular motions to blend the powder for a seamless, natural finish. Avoid harsh lines.
• Frequency: As desired when applying makeup.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling):

• Ensure your liquid/cream base products (foundation, concealer) are fully blended and set before applying powder blush. You can set your base with a thin layer of translucent powder first.
• Applying powder blush onto a wet or tacky base can cause it to look patchy or streaky.
• Use a clean, soft brush. A dense brush will pick up too much product and can lead to a heavy application.

• Immediate: Upon application, you will see a soft, matte, cool-toned pink flush on the cheeks. The fine powder helps to immediately blur the look of pores and skin texture, creating a smooth, "airbrushed" effect.
• Throughout the day: The powder formula helps absorb some oil, maintaining a matte finish. On very oily skin or in high humidity, the color may fade over several hours. You can increase longevity by applying it over a primer or setting it with a spray.

Myth: "You should apply blush in a harsh stripe from cheek to temple."

Why this, not that: This blush is designed for a soft, diffused look. Instead of drawing a line, focus on applying it to the apples of your cheeks (the fleshy part that pops up when you smile) and blending it gently outwards and upwards. This creates a natural, youthful flush rather than an artificial, dated stripe of color.

• Works Well With: This powder blush layers beautifully over liquid, cream, and powder foundations, BB creams, and sunscreens once they have set. It also works well under setting sprays.
• Use Carefully With: Applying directly over a very dewy or tacky liquid base without setting it first may cause the powder to cling and look patchy. Allow your base to dry down or set it lightly with translucent powder before blush application.
• Avoid On: Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. The matte, finely-milled powder helps absorb excess sebum and control shine, providing a soft-focus finish that lasts well on oily skin.
• Normal Skin: Very suitable. The silky powder will blend seamlessly.
• Dry Skin: Suitable, but ensure skin is well-moisturized before application. Powder blushes can sometimes cling to dry patches. Applying over a hydrating primer or creamy base can help create a smoother finish.

• Adds a healthy, natural-looking flush of cool-toned pink color to the cheeks.
• Visually blurs the appearance of skin texture and pores for a smoother, soft-focus look.
• Helps absorb excess oil and provides a soft matte finish to the cheek area.
• Brightens a fair complexion with a delicate, youthful wash of color.

• Who should use: Suitable for all skin types, especially those with fair to light cool-toned skin seeking a natural flush. Its oil-absorbing properties make it ideal for oily skin.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the blush to a discreet area of skin, such as behind the ear or on your inner arm. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or rash.
• Safety: For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: Extremely fine, soft, and silky powder. Feels almost creamy to the touch despite being a pressed powder.
• Finish: Soft matte with a distinct "blurring" or "airbrushed" effect that minimizes the appearance of skin texture and pores.
• Scent: Unscented.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains some ingredients that can potentially trigger fungal acne in highly sensitive individuals (e.g., Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate). However, as a powder product, the risk is generally low. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: The color isn't showing up on my skin.
  Solution: This shade is very pale and intended for fair skin. Try building it up in several sheer layers. If it still doesn't show after 2-3 layers, your skin tone may be too deep for this particular pastel shade.
• Issue: The blush looks patchy or streaky.
  Solution: This usually happens when applying powder over a wet or tacky base. Ensure your foundation or concealer is fully dry or set it with a light layer of translucent powder before applying the blush. Use a soft, fluffy brush and light, sweeping motions.
• Issue: It fades too quickly.
  Solution: To improve longevity, especially in Mauritius' humidity, apply a makeup primer before your foundation. You can also apply a cream blush first and then set it with this powder blush, or finish your entire look with a setting spray.

The rom&nd Better Than Cheek is well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: The fine powder formula is excellent for absorbing excess oil and sweat, helping to keep your cheeks looking fresh and matte throughout the day. Its lightweight nature feels comfortable on the skin and won't feel heavy or greasy.
• Drier Winters / AC Environments: Ensure your skin is well-prepped with moisturizer, as powder formulas can sometimes emphasize dryness. The silky texture helps it blend smoothly without catching on minor dry patches.

How will W02 Strawberry Milk look on tan or dark skin?

This particular shade is a very pale pastel pink and is not formulated to show up on medium, tan, or deep skin tones. On these complexions, it will likely look ashy, chalky, or be completely invisible. We recommend it exclusively for fair and light skin tones.

Is this blush good for oily skin in Mauritius's climate?

Yes, it's an excellent choice. The formula contains oil-absorbing powders that help create a soft matte finish and control shine, making it very comfortable to wear in humidity.

How is this different from a cream blush?

This is a pressed powder blush, which provides a matte, airbrushed finish and is great for controlling oil. A cream blush typically provides a dewier, more skin-like finish and is often preferred by those with dry skin. Powder is generally easier for beginners to blend and has better staying power on oily skin.

• Best For: Very fair to light skin with cool or neutral undertones.
• Key Benefits: Creates a natural, milky-pink flush; blurs pores and skin texture for a smooth finish; matte formula helps control oil.
• Keep in Mind: The color payoff is sheer and requires building up. It is not suitable for medium to deep skin tones as it will not provide visible color and may look ashy.
