"This is from Makeup by Mario. It's the soft pop plumping blush veil in the shade barely blushing. [...] It's just a nice nudie pink. Very soft, very subtle. I love the finish of these blushes. I've been using them like crazy lately. [...] It's like a no blush blush, but it's also not like a bronzer. It's just somewhere in between where you've got a little soft color on the cheeks. [...] I felt like this blush would be perfect for this look."

Full Face of NOTHING NEW: GRWM!! 😘

"I wanted to reach for this again, this is the barely blushing shade of the Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil. I just thought this might be a nice super muted color to go with a little bit more of a bold eye today. That soft pop blush definitely gives more of a balmy glow to the skin."

"For my blush, I've just, I can't stop talking about this, it's the Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil in the shade Barely Blushing, just like a nice natural color. I love it. And I just put the butt of my sponge and then I just pop it and since I haven't done my concealer, I'm going to kind of like build it up a little bit extra because that concealer is probably going to go over a bit of it."

"I'm going to use the makeup by Mario barely blushing blush cream blush. I'm going to apply that with my Dominique cosmetic sponge and I'm just going to pop it like right here, that's where it appears to be in the photo. It's a little bit more like not necessarily super high, it's a little bit more on the sides of my cheeks."

My current makeup faves & a lil secrettt 🙃

"This is the Makeup by Mario Barely Blushing, which you can probably see it's a little more muted and it's got a little bit more like brown, you know, brownie kind of orange in it. [...] I think that this color I was just waiting for like a color like this to be in my collection so I'm obsessed with that. I think it's so beautiful. It's like mostly what I've been wearing for blush."

If y’all need a go to makeup look THIS is the one. Just sayin.

nuh muh muddy makeup my guy

"This is the Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil in Barely Blushing, gorgeous color. [...] I actually typically apply this blush with a sponge which I kind of like, but you can apply it with a brush. You can see how seamless that cheek looks, so we have that really nice definition of the cheek with the contour, and then you can't even really see a distinction between the bronzer and the blush like they just kind of become one."

"I have the shade Barely Blushing and it is so stunningly gorgeous. [...] Barely Blushing for like my skin tone and I would say like fair to light skin is just so beautiful. [...] It's creamy and like I feel like it just plumps up the cheeks without making it look super greasy. [...] It doesn't make your cheeks look wet or feel sticky, it just plumps them up and makes them feel juicy and like hydrated and the color is stunning."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
