New from Charlotte Tilbury: the most beautiful blush stick ever

If you think you have your makeup routine completely sorted, then I'm giving you an upgrade that will make you very happy. Because Charlotte Tilbury is launching a new must-have this week that – believe me – will be sold out in no time: the Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick. And yes, I was already a fan of hers foundation stick and she is adding this blush stick to that line and it can only be won-der-ful. That foundation stick provides a very subtle coverage, is packed with good ingredients, and gives you a mega glowy skin without a single glitter.

What exactly is the Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick?

Charlotte’s latest blush is a super light, balm-like stick with a unique Colour Light Mapping Mesh Tech™. This clever technology, which is also in her foundation stick, ensures that your skin looks instantly smoother, more radiant, and slightly lifted. Think: that magical golden hour moment when the light falls just right and your skin suddenly looks ten times better. A sort of filter effect, but just on your skin.

Skincare in a stick

What makes this blush so nice is that it not only provides color, but also truly cares for your skin. And that has become a specialty of Charlotte Tilbury, with her ever-expanding skincare line. Her team knows exactly what works – and ensures that only the best makes it into the formula. For example, Collageneer™ in the stick helps to firm your skin, hyaluronic acid provides hydration, and daikon seed oil gives that soft, supple feeling that makes your skin happy. So you get not only a beautiful blush but also a healthy glow. Win-win.

Where do you use the stick?

The Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick comes in six shades that look beautiful on almost everyone. Think: peach, mauve, terracotta but all subtle and natural. And you don’t just use it on your cheeks. You can also apply the stick on your lips, nose, and – à la Hailey Bieber – on your eyelids for an even prettier look.

How to apply the blush stick

1. Swipe
Not afraid of a nice blush? Then apply it directly to your cheeks and blend the stick with your fingers, a brush, or a sponge. Super easy and quick.

2. Blend
Would you prefer to take a subtler approach? Then gently rub a clean brush or your fingertips over the stick and apply the color from there to your face. This way you have a bit more control over the intensity.

3. Buildable
For even more precision, you can use the back of your hand as a palette. Apply a bit of blush to your hand, work it well into the bristles of your brush, and then apply it layer by layer to your skin. This way you can build the color until you have exactly the glow you want.
