Amazonian clay skintuitive™ 12-hour blush

Tarte Amazonian Clay skintuitive™ 12-Hour Blush solves the shade problem by not making you pick one. It arrives as a single pink powder that, according to Tarte, responds to the pH of your own skin and settles into the tone that suits you. That makes it an unusually low-risk blush to buy unseen.

What it actually does

• Adjusts to you instead of the other way round. Tarte describes the skintuitive™ formula as reacting with your skin's pH to land on your most flattering version of the colour.
• Comes in one universal pink. There is a single shade to choose, which the brand presents as wearable across skin tones.
• Glides rather than grabs. The brand calls the powder super-soft and silky, blending out seamlessly so you avoid hard edges and over-pigmented patches.
• Built for a long day. Amazonian clay is the wear ingredient here — Tarte credits it with better, longer and truer colour hold.
• A long exclusion list. Free of parabens, formaldehydes and formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, triclocarban and triclosan, with under one percent synthetic fragrance. It is also gluten-free, cruelty-free, and the packaging is recyclable.

How to use

1. Smile in the mirror — the rounded part of your cheek that lifts is where the colour goes.
2. Load a blush brush and sweep upward across that area.
3. Keep working the edges into the skin until there is no visible line where the colour stops.

Is it right for you?
