Beauty shoppers are praising a colour-changing blush that creates a personalised shade based on the wearer's skin. The Wonderskin Cream Blush Stick pH-Activated pHlush Stick is priced at £20 on Amazon and has been described as 'magical' by customers.
Rather than coming in a traditional pink or peach shade, the blush initially appears grey before reacting to the skin's unique pH and transforming into a customised pink hue. Its buildable formula can be blended into a sheer wash of colour or layered for a more noticeable flush, while the multi-use stick can be applied to both the cheeks and lips.
Formula and suitability
The lightweight formula also has a cooling feel and contains hydrating and soothing ingredients, helping it glide smoothly across the skin without feeling heavy. Designed to provide long-lasting colour without caking, the £16 stick is suitable for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin, the site says.
Shopper reviews
The Wonderskin Cream Blush Stick pH-Activated pHlush Stick has received a high 4.2 out of five-star rating from almost 4,000 reviews on Amazon. One person said: "Magical! I'm 56 years old, and I swear I thought my wrinkles would show. Nope, this is just perfect for your pigment and doesn't dry you out and isn't oily either."
Another added: "I've bought so many lip tints before and, honestly, most of them sucked. They either made my lips feel super dry or the colour disappeared after an hour. So I was really skeptical about buying this one. But I'm so happy I decided to give it a try!"
This tint is actually really good. It makes my lips feel soft and moisturised, not dry at all, and the colour stays on for hours. Right after applying, I feel a little tingling for just a few seconds, but it goes away super fast. The colour it leaves on the lips is so pretty and natural. I also love that I can use it on my cheeks as a blush, it blends really easily and looks great. Definitely one of the better tints I've tried!"
This shopper wrote: "Fantastic blusher and lip gloss for an older person as the face dries as (you get) older, so this looked glossy on the cheeks. l was very happy with the product."
Mixed feedback and alternatives
Some disagreed slightly, as one person said: "Not sure it's as amazing as all the hype, but it's a nice little product that gives a lovely rosy glow and is easy to carry in your pocket. I feel it's a bit too candy pink for me (I'm a red head and would normally go for a more coral/rose blush), but it's a great item for on-the-go top ups." Another added: "Good product but doesn't last all day."
Another option is the MAC Tendertalk Lip Balm from £16.50, which is coming soon to LookFantastic. This one is said to be an intelligent lip conditioner which moisturises the skin while giving a natural looking tint at the same time.
Debenhams then has the Revolution Jelly Glow PH Lip & Cheek Stain for £4.79, down from £5.99. This is similar to the first one and offers a pH-reactive custom colour, and it can be used for the cheeks and lips. The Wonderskin Cream Blush Stick pH-Activated pHlush Stick is available from Amazon.
