YOUR SEASON BLUSH SB01 Pale Spring

A finely milled pressed powder that picks up evenly on a brush and blends out without patchiness. The base is talc with a synthetic fluorphlogopite-type mineral, silica and nylon-12 for slip, bound with silicone and ester emollients so the powder grips the skin rather than dusting off. A warm peach built on titanium dioxide with a yellow lake, red and black iron oxides and a red lake. No ultramarines, which is what keeps it on the warm side.

Black Rouge is a Korean colour-cosmetics brand best known for its lip range. The Your Season Blush line is built around the four personal-colour seasons, with one shade tuned to each. Made in Korea.

Pick up a small amount on a blush brush, tap off the excess, and apply to the cheeks. Blend gently outwards for a soft, even finish. Build in thin layers rather than one heavy application. Suits anyone matching blush to their personal colour season.

Talc and the mineral base give the powder its slip and payoff. Silica and nylon-12 soften the texture so it blends rather than grabs, and the silicone and ester binders help the colour sit evenly. The colour itself comes from the pigment set: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Red 30 Lake (CI 73360), Iron Oxides (CI 77499). The only shade of the four with no ultramarines — it reads warm rather than cool.
