This is a highly silicone-based, sophisticated powder blush with a "cream-to-powder" or "mud-like" texture. The formulation is designed for a luxurious, blendable, and long-wearing application with a soft, skin-perfecting finish.
"Creamy Mud"
- Key Ingredients: Dimethicone (primary ingredient in all shades), Phenyl Trimethicone, Isononyl Isononanoate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate.
- The texture is built on a foundation of volatile and non-volatile silicones and light esters. This creates a unique, weightless "creamy" feel upon touch that transforms to a smooth, second-skin powder finish upon application. The "mud" suggests a dense, velvety, and malleable payoff that isn't dusty or dry. It presses into the skin seamlessly rather than sitting on top.
Function & Application
- Key Ingredients: Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methylsiloxane Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer.
- This combination of silicone elastomers and spherical powders is engineered for exceptional blendability and long wear. The polymers create a flexible, breathable film on the skin that holds pigment in place, resists fading, and minimizes transfer. It functions as a user-friendly formula that's hard to over-apply, blends effortlessly, and stays put for hours.
Benefits
- Blurring & Pore-Perfecting:
- Key Ingredients: Boron Nitride, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Lauroyl Lysine.
- These are premium, soft-focus fillers and powders that diffuse light, blur the appearance of pores, fine lines, and texture. They create a filtered, airbrushed effect on the skin.
- Skin Comfort & Adherence:
- Key Ingredients: Cetyl Dimethicone (emollient), Aluminum Hydroxide (viscosity control/spreadability), Hexadecene (texture enhancer).
- The formula is designed to feel comfortable, not tight or drying. It adheres well to the skin without emphasizing dryness or settling into lines.
- Skincare Hint & Preservation:
- Key Ingredient: Tocopherol (Vitamin E).
- Acts as a mild antioxidant, primarily to stabilize the formula and prevent rancidity of the oils. Marketed as a "skincare benefit," though its concentration is likely low.
- Preservatives: Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin ensure the product remains safe from microbial growth.
Finish
- Key Ingredients: Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Mica, Boron Nitride, various Iron Oxides and Lake Pigments.
- The finish is a natural, soft-matte to satin-matte with a luminous veil.
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite is a shimmery, pearlescent powder that gives a subtle, non-glittery luminosity from within. It's not a metallic or frosty shine.
- Mica provides a basic, natural sheen.
- Boron Nitride adds to the soft, velvety luminance.
- The Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499) and Lake Pigments (CI 15850, etc.) provide the color in a smooth, opaque, yet blendable way.
- Shade-Specific Note: Shades B02, B04, B05, B06 contain Tin Oxide, a mineral that can provide additional opacity, adjust luminosity, and improve adhesion, potentially making these shades slightly more brightening or longer-wearing.
In essence, this YIGUDIGU Blush is targeted at consumers seeking a high-performance, luxurious blush that offers easy blending, a pore-blurring effect, comfortable long wear, and a sophisticated luminous-matte finish that enhances skin texture.
