YOUR SEASON BLUSH SB02 Soft Summer

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 cool pink from a red lake and a yellow lake over titanium dioxide, with ultramarines bringing the blue undertone and a red iron oxide adding depth.

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), Red 30 Lake (CI 73360), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Iron Oxides (CI 77491). Ultramarines sit at position twenty-one, which is what pulls this shade cool.
