Soft Pop Powder Blush

Soft Pop Powder Blush is MAKEUP BY MARIO's silky pressed blush, made to drop colour onto the cheeks and then blend out without fighting you. The brand's point of difference here is wear time: a patented polymer is in the formula to hold colour in place and keep it comfortable.

What it actually does

• Gives colour immediately. The brand describes an instant pop of colour on the cheeks — this is a pigmented blush, not a sheer tint you have to keep rebuilding.
• Lifts and brightens the face. MAKEUP BY MARIO positions the colour as brightening and lifting the complexion, which is why placement on the apples and up toward the hairline matters.
• Blends with very little effort. The silky powder is built to be super blendable, so edges soften instead of leaving a defined circle.
• Holds through the day. A patented polymer is included specifically for long-lasting colour and comfort, per the brand.
• Brings back radiance. Micronised clay is in the formula to restore radiance, according to MAKEUP BY MARIO.
• Sits happily on top of cream. It layers well over cream products, so you can use it alone or as the setting layer over a cream blush.
• Award-recognised. MAKEUP BY MARIO notes an Allure Best of Beauty win for this blush.

How to use

1. Find your placement. Smile softly — the apples of the cheeks lift into position and that is where the colour goes.
2. Pick up and apply. The brand suggests the F3 Brush (sold separately); tap it into the pan and set the colour on the apples.
3. Blend upward. Sweep up toward the hairline so the colour fades out rather than stopping abruptly.
4. Optional layering. Wear it on its own, or press it over their Soft Pop Blush Stick, which is sold separately, for a cream-then-powder finish.

Questions

Can I use it over a cream blush?

Yes — layering is part of the design. The brand says the powder sits well on cream textures and wears nicely on top of their Soft Pop Blush Stick, a separate purchase.

Does the brush come with it?

No. MAKEUP BY MARIO recommends their F3 Brush for this blush, but it is sold separately. Any soft, rounded cheek brush will apply it.

Why is there clay in a blush?

The brand includes micronised clay to restore radiance in the finish. Micronised simply means it has been milled very fine, which is what keeps the texture silky rather than chalky.
