Unreal Liquid Blush

Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush behaves more like a serum than a makeup product. It arrives in a dropper bottle, builds from a whisper of colour to a real flush, and the brand says the hydration in the formula visibly plumps skin while the wear holds for up to 12 hours.

What it actually does

• Adds colour and water at once. Hyaluronic acid draws water in, which is how Hourglass explains the visibly plumper look.
• Stays put. The brand claims up to 12 hours of weightless wear from a single application.
• Firms the look of the cheek. Upcycled white lupin seed extract is included for a visibly firmer, smoother appearance, according to Hourglass.
• Lets you dial the intensity. The dropper means you control whether this reads as a faint wash or a vivid flush.
• Serum-like texture. The brand's Unreal Lifting Complex is what it credits for the instant hydration and lifted look on the cheeks.
• Clean-leaning formula. Free of parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and triclosan, and vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Shake it with the cap still on.
2. Turn the bottle upside down, take the cap off, and press the soft button underneath to release a single drop onto the back of your hand.
3. Pick up a little product with a brush, stippling into the drop rather than dragging through it. Hourglass suggests the No. 15 Blush Brush, sold separately.
4. Tap at the apple of the cheek, then buff and blend up toward the cheekbone.

Questions

Do I need the No. 15 Blush Brush to use it?

It is what Hourglass recommends in its own instructions, and it is sold separately. The method it describes — stippling to pick up product, then tapping and buffing upward — is the part that matters most.

How much should I dispense?

One drop on the back of the hand, as the brand directs, then take a small amount from it. Coverage is light and buildable, so you can go back for more — taking it off is harder.

What is in it?

The two ingredients Hourglass highlights are hyaluronic acid for hydration and plumpness, and upcycled white lupin seed extract for a visibly firmer, smoother look. The formula leaves out parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and triclosan.
