Product details

Three Better Than Cheek palettes in Peach Chip, Blueberry Chip and Fig Chip side by side on warm beige paper, with crumbs and swatches of blush

Powder blusher

Sheer, silky blush in dried-fruit shades that blurs pores like a primer and builds without turning muddy.

rom&nd’s Better Than Cheek is the brand’s “My Cheek But Better” blusher, with colours inspired by dried fruit. Ultra-fine particles soften the look of pores and bumpy texture like a primer, while silicone-coated powders give it a silky slide. The colour goes on clear, like watercolour, and stays clean when layered. Absorbent powders take up sweat and oil for a soft finish that lasts, and the formula is pressed firmly so less powder falls off.

My cheek, but better

Clear, watercolour colour that blurs as it goes on and builds gently, so cheeks look naturally flushed.
