Chubby Stick™ Cheek Color Balm

Clinique Chubby Stick™ Cheek Color Balm is blush in crayon form — creamy, oil-free, and easy enough that Clinique says you can put it on without a mirror. It builds from a whisper of colour to something much bolder, and the swivel-up stick means no sharpener.

What it actually does

• Melts in instead of sitting on top. Clinique describes the cream texture as blending into skin and holding through the day.
• Goes from barely-there to bold. Start with a sheer wash and keep layering for a deeper tint — the coverage is built to be dialled up.
• Doesn't fight your foundation. The brand says it layers over base products without disturbing them.
• Stays light and oil-free. Clinique calls the formula lightweight and oil-free, and specifically says it never turns greasy — relevant if cream blush usually slides on you.
• Designed for bags and pockets. The stick swivels up, needs no sharpening, and is forgiving enough to apply without looking in a mirror.
• Gentle credentials. Dermatologist tested, allergy tested, entirely fragrance free, and made without parabens or phthalates.

How to use

1. Dot or draw it onto the apples of your cheeks.
2. Blend with a fingertip, moving along the cheekbone in the direction of your hairline for a natural result.
3. Add more if you want stronger colour — repeat until it looks right.
4. Carry it for touch-ups during the day.
5. Remove with a Clinique makeup remover.
