Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush Brightening Serum Blush ($25) is the brand’s first official color makeup product. Although, they’d rather you refer to it as a tinted cheek serum with a 100% skincare formula. Hmm…! Not only does it promise color but also, it’s formulated to plump, brighten, treat dark spot, and hydrate. Does it do all that? I’d say not really. It does contain Niacinamide which is superstar in the world of smoothing skin and brightening dark spots but this is essential a blush and not something you’re apply all over your face. You also, aren’t wearing a ton of it so I personally question if a few dots of this are going to treat dark spots that easily. I’m not a big fan of skincare in makeup. It just feels gimmicky. Infusing ingredients like retinoids, Vitamin C or Niacinamide into a blush or foundation seems pointless to me. I’d much rather use those products before my makeup application and not reply on my makeup for them. Of course, Glow Recipe got a ton of influencers to keep pushing and mentioning how these blushes were 100% skincare and I wasn’t buying it. But if you’re their main demographic (which is way younger than I am) I can see it being intriguing to someone who hasn’t taken a ton of time out to research skincare or who may just be starting our on their skincare journey.
I’ve used the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush Brightening Serum Blush since February and I haven’t really seen any improvement in my skin. It’s a great formula, I like it a lot, but as for skincare and treating my skin? Mmm..! Can’t say it did much in that direction. But here’s my review and swatches of the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush used as a blush not a skincare product.
