Youngblood Pressed Mineral Blush Sugar Plum 3g

Mineral powder blush in soft rosy peach with a fine sheen

Not everyone wants an obvious pink or a bold coral on their cheeks. A soft shade between pink and peach gives a natural flush that looks like your own, which is why it suits almost any look. With a light sheen in it, the skin also looks fresher and more rested. Youngblood Pressed Mineral Blush Sugar Plum is a pressed mineral blush in that understated, versatile colour.

Sugar Plum has a talc-free, lightweight formula that glides smoothly over the skin and blends seamlessly. The colour is buildable: keep it to a subtle hint for the office, or add a layer for more warmth in the evening. According to Youngblood, the shimmer finish gives sheen without glitter, so the cheeks glow softly. Jojoba seed oil, safflower seed oil and vitamin E keep the skin supple. The compact contains 3 g.

Colour: In the photos, Sugar Plum looks like a soft rosy peach with a touch of brown, finished with shimmer. It is a calm, natural shade, more muted than the warm coral pink Tangier. For a lighter peach there is Nectar (satin), and for a soft pink Blossom (matte).

Key ingredients

The formula combines mineral colour with oils and plant extracts that keep the skin comfortable:

Mica: Ethically sourced, according to Youngblood. It adds a subtle sheen and a silky-smooth texture, and gives Sugar Plum its soft light reflection.

Safflower seed oil: A caring oil that keeps the skin supple. As a result, the blush doesn't feel powdery and the colour sits beautifully on the skin.

Jojoba seed oil: Conditions and hydrates. It helps the powder blend out evenly, so the transition to your foundation becomes invisible.

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

Aloe vera extract: Soothes and softens the skin, nice for everyday use.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sugar Plum a good first blush?

Yes, thanks to its muted rosy peach shade, Sugar Plum is a safe choice if you're still looking for your blush colour. It looks natural and is easy to build up. Start with a little product and add more until you have the flush you like.

What's the difference with Tangier?

Both have a shimmer finish, but Tangier is warmer and a bolder coral pink. Sugar Plum is softer and more of a rosy peach with a brown nuance. Choose Sugar Plum for every day and Tangier if you want a sunny, more eye-catching colour.

Can I use the Blush Topper on top?

Yes. Sweep the Blush Topper Après-Ski lightly over Sugar Plum as a final step. It adds a rosy, radiant sheen on top of the natural colour.

How long does the blush last?

That depends on your skin and base. An even, lightly powdered base helps powder blush stay in place longer. If you have oily skin, you can touch up with a thin layer halfway through the day.
