HOW TO APPLY
The balm texture is designed for versatility. Here are the most effective methods:
Method 1: Fingers (Recommended for Beginners & Most Natural Finish)
- This method uses your body heat to melt the product seamlessly into the skin.
- Warm the Product: Gently swirl your fingertip (middle or ring finger) on the surface of the balm. You only need a small amount.
- Dot and Pat: Smile to find the apples of your cheeks. Dot the product onto the apples and gently pat it upwards and backwards towards your hairline.
- Blend: Use gentle, tapping and patting motions to blend the edges. Avoid rubbing or dragging, as this can disrupt your base makeup underneath.
- Build: For more intensity, repeat steps 1-3. The formula is buildable, so you can achieve anything from a subtle wash to a vibrant flush.
Method 2: Damp Makeup Sponge
- This method provides a sheer, diffused, and airbrushed finish.
- Pick Up Product: Apply a small amount of balm to the back of your hand. Use the flat side of a damp beauty sponge to pick up the product.
- Bounce and Press: Gently bounce and press the sponge onto your cheeks. The sponge will sheerness out the pigment for a incredibly natural, blended look.
Pro Tip for Layering: Always apply cream products like this blush after your foundation and concealer, but before setting powder. If you use powder, a light dusting of translucent powder over the blush can help set it and meld it into the skin for longer wear.
PRECAUTIONS
- Patch Test: As with any new skincare-infused product, always perform a patch test before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin. Apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reaction.
- Avoid Contamination: Because this is a balm in a pot, always ensure your hands are clean and dry before dipping your fingers into the product. This prevents introducing bacteria, oils, or dirt that could spoil the formula.
- Check for Irritation: The formula contains fragrance. If you have known sensitivities or allergies to fragrance, be cautious. Discontinue use if you experience any redness, itching, or irritation.
- Sun Protection Note: While the product contains antioxidants that help protect against free radicals, it does not replace sunscreen. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step of your skincare routine.
- Storage: Always close the lid tightly after use to prevent the balm from drying out and to protect its efficacy. Store in a dry place away from light at room temperature. Keep out of reach of infants and children.
- Eye Area: This product is designed for cheek use. Avoid direct application on the eye area.
