Its legendary texture, both fluid and rich, envelops the skin like the softest caress, for an exceptional feeling of comfort.

Blushing

What are the Do’s and Don’ts of applying cream blush?
Less pressure, more impact! Avoid rubbing the blush onto the skin - rather pat the cream on apples for a flushed look or contour under cheekbone to shape the face. Use a lighter shade to highlight or tone down a deeper shade and add dimension by patting over the cheekbones with fingers.
