NATASHA DENONA Hy-Blush #1
by NATASHA DENONA · makeup
Editor's Take
The cream-to-powder trick earns its keep here: polished blur, comfortable slip, and more thoughtful skin feel than the average blush stick.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.8 / 10
- Modern Tech: 7.2 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 5.5 / 10
- Sustainability: 9.0 / 10
The Verdict
Squalane gives this blush comfortable glide, while Silica and corn starch help it set with a soft-focus, oil-controlling finish. That makes it a strong choice for quick cream-to-powder application, with modern texture work rather than treatment-level skincare. The trade-off is a crowded synthetic dye palette, including Red 7 Lake and Yellow 5 Lake, which pulls down its clean score despite strong sustainability. A polished, credible hybrid blush whose texture is the real reason to reach for it.
