[unpaid/sample] I posted about these blushers on Instagram yesterday and everybody was so shocked that Mary Quant make up was ‘again’, however to my thoughts it by no means went away. There was a Mary Quant store at Duke of York Sq. simply off the King’s Highway just a few years in the past and naturally, the Mary Quant exhibition (the place I purchased a lipstick). Nonetheless, it does seem like it went into hibernation for some time final 12 months. I haven’t fairly received to the underside of the possession, aside from it’s Japanese, and Mary Quant bought her enterprise to Japanese house owners in 2000 – James Matsumiya. The corporate identify now’s Mary Quant Cosmetics Ltd (of which there are two branches, MQCL London and MQCL Japan) versus Mary Quant Ltd. It appears to be like like James resigned as an organization director, and amongst others, Yukari Nakamaya and Masako Nakamaya at the moment are listed as a substitute. I can’t monitor it any additional than that as a result of in any other case I might be right here perpetually taking place Corporations Home rabbit holes.
It appears the corporate had a interval of inactivity not too long ago however is clearly now again and firing on all cylinders. I’ve received a number of merchandise to evaluate and I’m beginning with the Cheeky Child Souffle Blush. What I really like about them is that they appear so densely pigmented however are extra of a translucent wash as soon as on the pores and skin. It’s a really pure, contemporary end.
One of many clear advantages of Japanese possession is that the make up has to a sure diploma a Japanese aesthetic. This pinched cheeks look is de facto important in Asia and it’s a really lovely approach to put on blush. The shades I’ve are (left to proper) are 01 Apple Pink, 04 Sweet Pink and 02 Apricot Orange.
I’ve Apricot Orange on my proper cheek and Sweet Pink on my left. You possibly can see they appear vibrant and contemporary with out wanting shiny and apparent.
Within the swatch (backside to prime) it’s Sweet Pink, Apricot Orange and Apple Pink. They’re £23 every HERE. There are three different shades that I don’t have right here. I actually do love this blush – it’s simply understated and straightforward to put on, really nice on naked pores and skin in addition to over make up. I utilized with a brush – actually simply gently dab it on the mousse slightly than scoop an enormous quantity so you’ll be able to construct it to your choice. There’s a little bit of a stain aspect too so it’s a stayer though will certainly keep higher on naked pores and skin than over basis or base. What do you suppose? Did you’ve got a favorite MQ product from again within the day?
