From the niche new beauty brands doing something different, to the industry’s evergreen icons, Tish Weinstock opens up AnOther’s dream vanity. Up this week – a deliciously dewy blush stick
- Who should use it? Available in five buildable shades, you can tailor your Le Blush Stick to suit any complexion
- How long until I love it? The way this formula melts on the skin makes this an instant favourite
- How planet-/people-friendly is it? Formulated with 97 per cent natural ingredients, this silicone-free, cruelty-free, vegan blush stick is particularly people-friendly. It’s also totally refillable; it comes encased in paper packaging, which can then be placed in one of the brand’s upcycled leather cases (which can be monogrammed with your initials, FYI)
- How do I use it? Glide over the skin and layer as desired
La Bouche Rouge Paris isn’t like other beauty brands. Conceived as a kind of haute beauté Maison, it’s the world’s first fully sustainable luxury beauty brand. Founded by Nicolas Gerlier, and Self Service’s Ezra Petronio, La Bouche Rouge creates refillable non-toxic make-up in chic upcycled leather cases, using offcuts from France’s prestigious Tanneries du Puy. Combating the use of plastic, and reintroducing French craftsmanship and artisanal tradition to the world of beauty, each case can be monogrammed with your initials, because, well, why not? There’s also a vegan alternative crafted from recycled fibre material.
Adding to its inaugural collection of lipsticks comes a brand new collection of blush sticks. With its creamy texture, this easy-to-use formula melts onto the skin to create a deliciously dewy finish. Just glide it over your skin and blend in, building up colour as desired depending on the occasion.
The best part? Packed with ultra-nourishing hyaluronic acid and St Sulliac seaweed, which is known for its anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory properties, it not only delivers a surface glow but also works to replenish the skin at a deeper level for that all-round rejuvenation. The blush sticks come in five colourways: nude, brown-ish pink, rosy, apricot and a brick red, so there’s something for everyone.
A flawless complexion at your fingertips, these blush sticks are the perfect way to get your glow on post-summer.Â
