FAQs
Is this blush suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula is free from many common irritants like parabens and talc, which may make it a better option for sensitive skin, but we always recommend testing a small area first.
Can I use this as an eyeshadow?
While intended for cheeks, the high-quality pigments can be used on eyelids; however, ensure you use an eyeshadow primer for the best longevity.
Does it contain shimmer or matte finishes?
The product is designed as a highly pigmented powder that provides a natural look; check individual shade names for specific finish details like shimmer.
How long does one compact usually last?
Due to its high pigmentation, you only need a small amount for each application, meaning a single compact will typically last for many months of daily use.
Is the packaging eco-friendly?
The brand focuses on clean ingredients; please check your local recycling guidelines for the disposal of the compact casing.
Troubleshooting
Color looks too intense on cheeks
Use a clean, fluffy brush to buff over the edges of the application to diffuse the pigment, or apply a light layer of translucent setting powder over the top.
Powder creates a dusty or cakey finish
Ensure your skin is properly moisturized before application and use a setting spray to help the powder melt into the skin.
Hard pan forming on the surface of the powder
Gently scrape off the top layer with a clean spoolie or brush to reveal the fresh, soft powder underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, apply the blush over a set foundation or primer to provide a smooth base for the powder to adhere to. The product is compatible with standard synthetic or natural-hair makeup brushes. For care, keep the compact lid tightly closed when not in use to protect the integrity of the powder. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the shelf life of the botanical oils. To clean, you may wipe the interior of the compact with a dry cloth; avoid using water or liquid cleaners directly on the powder cake, as this will ruin the formula's texture.
