Muted Blush: When Does Beautiful Become Invisible? | SNY x HLP Review

Описание: The good, the bad, and the pretty about the SNY X HLP collab.
In this Upside-Down, Inside-Out review, I use the Salt New York × Hannah Louise Poston collaboration to explore desaturated blush, muted coloring, and how sheer cream formulas actually read on the skin.

We’ll do a full review including swatches, application footage and comparisons. But we'll also break down:
– What “desaturated” really means in makeup
– Why saturation mismatch happens
– How extremely sheer, emollient blush behaves
– Who this formula works best for

Salt New York: I'm wearing N11 in this video
Estee Lauder: Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup (original formula) 1N2 Ecru. It looks a little pink on me, but it's the right depth.
Haus Labs Triclone Foundation: 100 Light Neutral
