There are very few beauty products I’m loyal to. It’s an occupational hazard: I test an absurd amount of foundation, eyeshadow, concealer, bronzer, and so on and so forth for work, so even the products I really love usually get replaced by something new. YSL’s Loveshine Lip Oil Stick in #44 Nude Lavallière is the exception. I’ve worn the same pinky-nude shade nearly every day for more than two years, and despite the frankly ridiculous amount of makeup I’ve tried in that time, nothing has managed to knock it out of my bag.
So when I found out #44 was one of six shades in YSL Beauty’s new Make Me Blush Cream Blush, I was immediately intrigued. YSL had already brought Nude Lavallière into its Make Me Blush powder lineup, but I’m much more of a cream blush person, so this was the iteration I was most curious about. And while #44 was obviously the first shade I reached for, the launch goes well beyond my personal favorite.
