MAKE UP | MUA One Direction Cheek Tint in Coral Cutie



After falling head over heels in love with the MUA One Direction Lipstick in Moments, I knew I had to explore the collection further and after seeing rave reviews about the Cheek Tints, I searched high and low in order to get my mitts on one. I went into four Superdrugs when I was in the New Forest for five days a few weeks ago and the majority of the collection was sold out. Southampton ended up being my saviour and I managed to quickly snap up the Cheek Tint in Coral Cutie.

As you can tell from the image above, mine sadly melted in the heat so although it's still usable, it's no longer as pretty looking. The packaging isn't as beautiful as the lipsticks (it's pretty childish if I'm being honest) but it's practical and makes the tint easy to apply. I dot this onto my cheeks and blend it by pushing it into my skin using my Real Techniques Stippling Brush. It gives the cheeks a hint of colour and despite there being no shimmer in it, it makes the complexion look glowing. The colour is beautiful and the formula is nicely pigmented. The swatch above shows the product heavily swatched but a couple of light dots of this onto your cheeks is more than enough. It lasts all day long once set with powder and for £3, it's an absolute bargain.

You can buy this Cheek Tint here where it retails for £3. You can also browse the entire MUA and One Direction collection here.
