e.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint

A tint is the lightest way to add colour to your cheeks. This one from e.l.f. is a liquid blush tint, and the listing describes it as multi-use and long lasting.

Why a tint looks natural

Powder blush sits on top of the skin. A liquid tint sinks in and stains it, so the colour looks like it comes from underneath, like a real flush. It also shows less texture than powder, and does not look dusty on dry skin.

The one rule: blend fast

Tints are built to stain, so they set quickly. Put a dot or two on the cheek, then blend at once with fingertips or a damp sponge. Start with less than you think; you can always add a second layer.

Where it goes

• On the cheeks, blended up toward the temple.
• Multi-use tints are often used on lips too. Check the listing for the ways e.l.f. says to use this one.
• Over or under foundation: tints are usually easiest to blend on bare or lightly moisturized skin. Over powder they can grab.

Who it suits

Anyone who wants a natural flush, people with dry skin who find powder blush looks dusty, and minimal-makeup days.

What it will not do

It will not give a bold, sculpted look. It will not move once it has set, so mistakes need a damp sponge. And on very oily skin, a tint may fade sooner.
