Huda Beauty Proud Pink Cheeky Tint Cream Blush Stick Review & Swatches

0

Huda Beauty Proud Pink Cheeky Tint Cream Blush Stick ($25.50 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with a cooler-toned base and warmer, lighter and contrasting golden pearl. This was the most shimmery shade at the time of the formula’s release. The texture was emollient, creamy, and blendable over bare skin but took some finagling to apply it without disturbing base products (I’d recommend a brush).

The cream blush had more medium coverage initially, which could be built up or sheered out as desired. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly on me.

Formula Overview

$25.50/0.17 oz. – $150.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to to be “water-, transfer-, and sweat-proof” that have a “juicy pop of color” and is “buildable.” They were creamy with moderate slip, enough to easily skate across the skin if applied directly from the tube. I preferred to use a fingertip to pick up product or a fluffy, synthetic brush, rather than apply directly, but it was totally workable that way. I had more precision with my preferred application methods, though.

The blush applied better over bare skin than foundation as it was slippery enough to be more prone to moving base products around. Once blended out, the product set to something more transfer-resistant but still managed slight luminosity and did not seem fully matte at a glance. The coverage was semi-sheer to medium and buildable, depending on applicator, method, and it wasn’t the type of formula that immediately sheered out when blended, so for those who find other cream blushes to be too sheer, this might be a good option.

They wore eight hours on me, which is not atypical, so while some claims made it seem particularly long-wearing, it was consistent with what I tend to experience with cream/liquid blushes. They did not have any scent that I noticed.
