Youngblood Pressed Mineral Blush Nectar 3g

Mineral powder blush in light peach with a satin finish

Peach is one of the most natural blush colours there is. The shade resembles the flush you get after a brisk walk and gives the skin warmth without looking like make-up. With a satin finish, somewhere between matte and glowy, the skin looks soft and even. Youngblood Pressed Mineral Blush Nectar is a pressed mineral blush in that light peach shade.

Nectar has a light, talc-free formula that glides seamlessly over the skin. You can keep the colour soft for a fresh no-make-up look, or build it up to a more defined, warm flush. The satin finish gives a soft glow without obvious shimmer, which makes it suitable for any occasion. Jojoba seed oil, safflower seed oil and vitamin E make it feel comfortable. The compact contains 3 g.

Colour: In the photos, Nectar is a light, soft peach with a satin finish. It is the lightest and most natural shade in the range, lovely on fair to medium skin. If you want more sheen, take a look at Tangier (warm coral pink) or Sugar Plum (rosy peach), both with shimmer; Blossom is a soft pink in matte.

Key ingredients

A few caring ingredients make Nectar sit softly and evenly on the skin:

Jojoba seed oil: Conditions and hydrates the skin. It gives the powder a supple texture, so the light peach shade blends out evenly.

Safflower seed oil: Keeps the skin soft and adds to the comfortable feel. As a result, the blush stays pleasant even on drier skin.

Mica: Ethically sourced, according to Youngblood. Mica gives a silky-smooth texture and Nectar's light satin glow.

Vitamin E: Nourishes and softens the skin and, according to Youngblood, makes for a softer application.

Aloe vera extract: Soothes and softens. Pleasant on cheeks that quickly feel a little red or sensitive.

Frequently asked questions

What does a satin finish mean?

Satin sits between matte and shimmer. The blush gives a soft, natural glow, but without visible shine or sparkle. As a result, the skin looks fresh and even, also in daylight.

Does Nectar suit deeper skin?

Nectar is a light peach shade and looks most natural on fair to medium skin. On deeper skin it may come out lighter than you expect. For more colour, Tangier or Sugar Plum are often a better fit; if in doubt, we're happy to help via WhatsApp.

Can I combine Nectar with a highlighter?

Yes, a satin blush in particular makes a highlighter stand out beautifully. Apply Nectar to the apples and place a highlighter from the Youngblood Highlighter collection just above it on the cheekbones.

How do I create a no-make-up look with Nectar?

Use a light foundation or just concealer and a very thin layer of Nectar on the apples. Blend well so no edges are visible. That way you get a fresh flush that looks like your own.
