Makeup and skincare brand Tower 28 just released a new collection of talc-free, sweat-proof, blurring blushes in six shades. The GetSet Matter Powder Blush come in Malibu Cooler, Long Beach Iced Tea, Feliz Fresca, Sawtelle Slushie, Samo Spritzer, and Culver Crush.
The color range is impressive and highly-pigmented, with six different shades for every skin color and personal preference—two different pinks, two rosy-mauves, one rose and a peach, but the star of the show is the product’s formula.
Along with offering 12-hour fade-proof color to your cheeks, the blushes are also formulated to lock-in your makeup and blur your pores, just like your favorite setting powder. Talc-free, and full of ingredients like kaolin clay for oil control, squalane for hydration and soothe inflammation, and hydrophobic silica for sweat resistance, the blushes are also 100% compliant with the National Eczema Association’s ingredient guidelines, making it perfect for those with reactive or acne-prone skin.
Personally, I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve had a hyperpigmentation scar on my cheek, or just concealer or foundation, and have hesitated to apply blush or added at least two layers of setting spray before doing so in fear that the blush would remove the complexion products.
While trying it out, I realized I could apply it by itself or on top of my complexion products without worrying it would remove prior products. Plus, if I felt it was too matte some days, it was nothing that a generous amount of hydrating setting spray couldn’t fix. I think it’s a lovely option if you, like me, have textured dry-skin and pores and don’t like to layer too many powder complexion products.
Also, I love multi-use products. Katie Jane Hughes, celebrity and editorial makeup artist and owner of KJH Brand, used the shade Long Beach Ice Tea on her lips with only lip liner, a pro move. The blush added pigment to her lips and filled her lip lines, a gorgeous combo by itself or with lipgloss.
