Product details

An Espoir Tone Pairing Cheek palette in peach and coral lying on a peach surface between folds of pale silk and crushed blush powder

Blush palette

A three-colour blush palette that pairs a sheer jelly and a blurring matte for a soft, natural flush.

Espoir’s Tone Pairing Cheek puts two textures and three colours in one compact: a base colour, a point colour and a neutral pearl. Layer them to suit your tone and mood, from a clear, see-through flush to a soft-focus matte. Espoir says it grips well without turning cakey or flaky.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Soft pearl

    Mica leads the list, with fine pearls that give the neutral pearl shade its glow.

    No. 1, 6, 12, 21 of 24 on the list

  • Sheer jelly feel

    Silky silicones and a light emollient give the jelly texture its clear, satiny slip.

    No. 2, 3, 5, 7 of 24 on the list

  • Blur and grip

    Soft powders and kaolin clay help the matte shade blur and keep colour in place.

    No. 10, 15, 20 of 24 on the list

  • Vitamin E

    A small conditioning extra near the end of the list.

  3. 3

    Add the neutral pearl high on the cheeks for a clear, lit look.

  4. 4

Your tone, your flush

Good to know

  • Sold here in 03 Violeta, which Espoir describes as a lavender-tinted soft mauve; the range also includes Pink Icing, Peach Fizz and Rosette.
  • The jelly pan holds a lot of moisturising ingredients, so a knock can make its edges lift or bulge slightly; Espoir says that’s normal and safe to use.
  • Vegan certified by EVE VEGAN, with FSC-certified paper packaging.
