British Indie Brand, Illamasqua, just stepped out of their comfort zone! Instead of creating another bold, pigmented product, they opted to go soft and pastel. As a result,, the New Illamasqua Color Veil Gel Blush focused on clean-glass-skin, the newest makeup trend for 2018-2019. First of all, Clean, Glass-Skin embraces the concept of clear, polished-looking skin. Think hydrated from within rather than metallic. Another new trend focuses on products that combat environmental stressors such as heating, air conditioning, and pollution. Therefore, the new hybrid-gel is the first of its kind. One, it fights free radicals to help to reduce wrinkles and keep skin looking youthful. Two, it hydrates the skin from within.
You can find the new Illamasqua Color Veil Gel Blush on the Illamasqua website $27.20)
Illamasqua Color Veil Gel Blush Packaging
The packaging is cutting edge, sleek, and simple. The box is the iconic Illamasqua highly shiny black box with white writing.
The product comes in a simple frostedglass jar with a twist on and off black lid.
What makes the packaging so great, even though the blush appears to be a liquid, is its a bouncy, cushiony gel. Therefore, either put your fingertips or a rounded brush in the jar without making a mess. Even though the jar is really teeny tiny, a little product will go a long way. Therefore, the gel blusher should last a long time.
Illamasqua Color Veil Gel Blush Formula
The formula of the Color Veil Gel Blush combines two of Illamasqua’s iconic products. First, it combines the brand’s best selling Hydra Veil Primer, with the long-wearing, intense pigments of their powders. Next, it includes multi active ingredients, such as gardenia Florida, fruit extract and sodium hyaluronate, that help the skin retain a youthful look. In addition, Haematococcus pluvais extract and vitamin C help improve the skin’s elasticity and brightness.
The formula hydrates your skin. Furthermore, the pigments are buildable, making it easy to apply the gel blusher.
The blush has a soft, jelly texture that feels comfortable and refreshing when you apply it. Also important, self-leveling properties ensure the blush creates a fresh, airbrushed effect.
Illamasqua Color Veil Gel Blush Shades
So far, the Gel Blush comes in four shades. Two new shades are supposed to complete the collection.
Consume
Consume is a dark nude shade. It is the perfect shade if you want a color that really pops.
Entice
Once Entice melts into your skin, it will give your cheeks a peachy-nude shade.
Frission
Once the pale pink shade melts into your skin, it will give your cheeks an English, Rosy Glow.
Infatuate
This peachy shade is perfect for warm summery days.
Illamasqua Color Veil Gel Blush Application
First, tap the gel onto your cheeks with your fingertips. Also, you can blend the blush into your skin using a round buffing brush. In addition, it is important to apply the blush with light pressure because too much pressure will cause the blush to lift off of the skin.
Next, you can wear the lightweight gel formula over makeup or on bare skin. Either way, the result is a semi-sheer finish.
Furthermore, it is safe to use the gel blush on your eyes and lips.
Last of all, you are able to layer contrasting shades of color veil on top of each other to create multi-tonal effects.
