The Blush Stick: It couldn’t be more modern
If nothing else is handy, you can pinch your cheeks two or three times: Most people are already familiar with this most natural blush substitute in human history, even before they spend their pocket money on a blush stick. Blushing cheeks – a look considered attractive across all stages of life and cultures. Which is why the history of blush has correspondingly deep roots.
Since time immemorial, people have invented substances to give their faces a more radiant glow. The Egyptians ground berries, and in Rome, mineral cinnabar was considered indispensable if you wanted to attract attention. Pink circles on white-powdered faces were once considered beautiful—at least in 18th-century France. The fact that rouge was often made of toxic substances, from mercury to lead, did little to dampen this fashion; carmine rouge, made from insects, was only available to the ladies at the court of Versailles. Throughout the ages, rouge has stood for youthful vitality, depravity, and supposed innocence. Since the 20th century, rouge has been produced commercially, spreading its transformative powers in all shapes, colors, and textures.
Blush has always colored more than just the cheeks. The MILTE Blush Stick from UND GRETEL continues this tradition! It's a creamy blush stick that illuminates the complexion in a variety of ways on the eyes, cheeks, and lips. Combined with the MILTE Highlighter and Foundation Stick, it subtly defines facial features and generally adds more glow and expression to any look.
A blush stick for all occasions
Depending on the goal and application technique, a blush stick can create a wide variety of blush effects. The "drapery" technique, for example, became popular in the 1970s and experienced a runway comeback after the ubiquitous Kim Kardashian contouring. Today, it's called draping and refers to contouring the cheeks using only the blush stick. To define the face more naturally, a few contours are subtly accentuated, primarily in the cheek area, and for artistic effects, up to the lower eye line. Experienced blushers also delicately drape the lateral brow bones at the hairline and the base of the neck directly below the ears.
The color play is even more intense when you mix the shades of the blush stick for more dimension and depth and blend them in multiple layers with bronzers and highlighters. Following the delicate rose-colored opening shade, MILTE Blush Multistick BLOOM, the limited-edition PEACH PINK version, with its elegant rose-gold shimmer in a peach tone, conjures up a natural-looking glow in an instant. The creamy, highly pigmented texture of this all-rounder melts into the skin and illuminates cheeks and lips, which, thanks to organic oils, receive moisture and elasticity, shine, protection, and anti-aging care. PEACH PINK is the best blush stick for quick touch-ups, but also cuts a fine figure with sophisticated makeup.
A cream blush stick like MILTE offers several advantages for every type and style. Generally speaking, while more matte powder blushes like WONNE or SUNNE provide a bit more depth and intense contour, a cream blush with its own glow emphasizes the high points of the face.
- More radiance: The Creme Rouge Stick MILTE contains selected ingredients to provide the skin with additional moisture and give it a radiant, glowing finish. Skin-friendly jojoba and apricot oils as well as hyaluronic acid are the outstanding ingredient players.
- More naturalness: As a cream blush stick, MILTE blends seamlessly, whether applied directly to the skin, over a light foundation like LIETH , or after applying a primer. The look is very natural and the complexion is youthfully enhanced.
- More creativity: The Blush Stick can be applied and blended with your fingers, a blush brush , or the Beauty Blender . This offers maximum versatility in terms of makeup style and finish.
- More skin types: Powdery blush can be a bit unsuitable for older or troubled skin, as each pigment settles more clearly in the finer depths of the skin. As a natural cosmetics blush stick, MILTE has a clear advantage: Whether you have sensitive, dry, or blemished skin – thanks to its smooth texture and skin-positive ingredients, the MILTE blush stick provides additional moisture and doesn't emphasize anything that shouldn't be emphasized.
Yes, in summer or on oily skin, a blush stick might have a slightly lower staying power. But the aforementioned advantages easily make up for that. The MILTE Blush Stick also puts lips and eyes in the spotlight—multi-use with Multi-Glow couldn't be more versatile. And there's no need to worry about blending, either, because the stick blush can be dabbed on and blended in a snap. A breeze for all no-nonsense types who prefer light and uncomplicated makeup.
Step by step more versatility
- Prep well: Your face should be clean and moisturized to create a smooth base for your makeup. If necessary, optimize this "canvas" with products like the MILTE Foundation Stick or a primer like WEGEN or ERST , which also improve the look's longevity.
- Choose a formulation: Whether powder blush or blush stick – the selected blush formulation should both suit the skin type and provide the desired finish.
- Determine effects: Where exactly should the blush stick do what? Based on your face shape and the desired look, you determine where the color goes. Some people are satisfied with accentuating the cheekbones and lips, others prefer to apply the effects along the cheekbones, across the nose for a sun-kissed effect, or between the outer corners of the eyes and the temples. When it comes to makeup, anything that pleases you and is fun is expressly permitted! The Best Blush Stick MILTE can handle it all – we promise.
- Apply and blend: Pick up a small amount of color from the Blush Stick with your fingertips, a makeup sponge, or a brush. Blend it onto your cheeks using gentle circular motions for a seamless finish. Ideally, use the brush to shape your lips. On your eyelids, a touch closer to the center is recommended—depending on your eye shape and desired style, additional UND GRETEL eye makeup can also be used here. For more intensity, simply apply MILTE Blush Stick in additional layers.
- Seamlessly perfect: Thanks to its smooth texture, the makeup blush stick blends seamlessly into the skin, and lines or spots can be removed with just a few swipes of your finger.
- Setting as desired: If you want to give your creamy blush stick more staying power, set the look with a touch of ILGE Transparent Powder. This step can also make a difference for oily skin types or in warmer temperatures.
- Level up your makeup game: With bronzer, VLITTER highlighter and setting powder, the overall effect can be further boosted and longer lasting.
- Touch-up: The MILTE Blush Stick is natural cosmetics in the best sense of the word: It lives on the skin – and on long days, it's best unscrewed from its iconic compact for a little touch-up. This keeps your look fresh and your appearance enviable.
