Lightweight, Seamless & Breathable Texture:
- Key Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Isohexadecane, Isododecane, Phenyl Trimethicone.
- Benefit: These volatile and lightweight silicones create an initial silky-smooth, fluid texture that spreads effortlessly and blends into the skin rather than sitting on top. They evaporate quickly, leaving minimal weight and a breathable, skin-like feel without heaviness or tackiness. This prevents the blush from feeling mask-like or clogging pores.
Long-Lasting, Transfer-Resistant Wear:
- Key Ingredients: Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite.
- Benefit: These are high-performance film-formers and texture enhancers. They create a flexible, water-resistant, and tenacious network over the skin that locks the pigment and emollients in place. This translates to blush that resists fading, sweating off, and transferring onto clothing or masks for significantly longer wear (likely 8+ hours). Disteardimonium Hectorite specifically helps stabilize the formula and prevent migration.
Skin-Blurring & Pore-Softening Finish:
- Key Ingredients: Boron Nitride, Silica, Silica Dimethyl Silylate.
- Benefit: Boron Nitride is a premium, soft-focus powder renowned for its exceptional light-diffusing properties. It creates a subtle blurring effect, softening the look of pores, fine lines, and texture irregularities. Silica and its derivative further absorb excess oil and contribute to a smooth, velvety, airbrushed finish that looks natural, not powdery or chalky.
Buildable, Blendable & Natural Pigmentation:
- Key Ingredients: CI Pigments (77491, 77492, 77499 - Iron Oxides; 77891 - Titanium Dioxide; 15850 - Red), Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Sorbitan Sesquioleate.
- Benefit: The combination of finely milled mineral pigments and specialized silicone emulsifiers/solubilizers allows the color to be sheered out incredibly easily for a natural flush or built up to a more intense pop without becoming patchy, streaky, or difficult to blend. The emulsifiers ensure the pigments disperse evenly and meld with the skin seamlessly.
Hydrating & Skin-Nourishing Benefits (Beyond Makeup):
- Key Ingredients: Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Trehalose, Propylene Glycol, Urea, Polyquaternium-51, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Chamomilla Recutita Extract (L01, L03, L04), Cucumber Extract (L05), Jojoba Oil (L05).
- Benefit: This is a standout feature. Uhue incorporates a potent cocktail of humectants (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Trehalose, Urea, Propylene Glycol) that actively draw moisture to the skin, preventing the blush from emphasizing dryness or looking cakey. Polyquaternium-51 is a conditioning polymer that mimics skin's natural proteins, improving comfort and feel. Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection. Chamomile and Cucumber extracts offer soothing properties, while Jojoba Oil (L05) adds lightweight emollience. This makes the blush suitable for drier or more mature skin types, blurring the line between makeup and skincare.
Comfortable, Non-Drying Emollience:
- Key Ingredients: Isononyl Isononanoate, Tridecyl Trimellitate.
- Benefit: These high-spreadability, non-greasy esters provide just the right amount of slip and emollience for easy blending and a comfortable, non-tight feeling on the skin throughout the day. They prevent the formula from being drying, which is common in long-wear products.
Stable & Skin-Friendly Formulation:
- Key Ingredients: Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Triethoxycaprylylsilane.
- Benefit: A well-preserved system ensures product safety and longevity. The use of milder preservatives and skin-conditioning solvents enhances the overall skin compatibility and reduces the risk of irritation for most users. Triethoxycaprylylsilane helps ingredients bind to the skin/silicone network.
Shade-Specific Boosts:
- L02: Includes Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E derivative) and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a highly stable and effective Vitamin C derivative), offering potent antioxidant and brightening benefits.
- L05: Features Jojoba Oil (lightweight moisturizer, mimics skin sebum) and Cucumber Extract (soothing, cooling).
