Product Introduction: Clinique Cheek Pop™ Powder Blush #05 NUDE POP (0.12 OZ./3.5g)
Clinique Cheek Pop™ Powder Blush in #05 NUDE POP redefines "natural flush" with its lightweight, buildable formula and universally flattering nude-pink hue. Designed as part of Clinique’s iconic Cheek Pop range—known for delivering a "just-blushed" radiance—this 0.12 OZ./3.5g blush is a staple for anyone seeking a low-effort, high-impact way to add warmth to their complexion. Whether you’re a makeup novice or a seasoned user, its blendable texture and soft color make it perfect for everyday wear, from casual mornings to polished evenings.
Core Benefits
"Just-Pinched" Nude-Pink Glow: #05 NUDE POP is a muted, warm nude-pink shade that mimics the natural flush of skin after a light walk or a soft smile—no harsh lines or overly bright pigment. It complements all skin tones: for fair to light skin, it adds a subtle "lit-from-within" warmth; for medium to deep skin, it enhances natural undertones without looking ashy or washed out. Unlike bold pink or coral blushes, it never feels overwhelming, making it ideal for minimal makeup looks.
Lightweight, Buildable Powder Texture: Clinique’s Cheek Pop formula features ultra-fine powder particles that glide onto the cheeks seamlessly, blending with skin rather than sitting on top. It’s buildable, too—start with a light sweep for a "no-makeup" finish, or layer gently for a more defined flush. The texture is soft and velvety, avoiding the chalky or powdery feel that plagues many drugstore blushes, and it won’t settle into fine lines or pores.
Long-Wearing, Non-Fading Formula: Despite its lightweight feel, this blush stays put for 6-8 hours with minimal fading. It resists humidity and oil, so it won’t turn patchy or melt off during busy days—perfect for office commutes, school, or weekend outings. It also pairs beautifully with foundation, tinted moisturizer, or even bare skin, making it versatile for different base routines.
Compact 3.5g Size with Signature Packaging: The 0.12 OZ./3.5g size comes in Clinique’s iconic Cheek Pop compact—sleek, travel-friendly, and easy to slip into a makeup bag or purse. The compact includes a small, soft brush for on-the-go touch-ups, though it works equally well with fluffy blush brushes for more precise application. The see-through lid lets you quickly identify the shade, so you can grab it in a hurry.
How to Use
Prep Your Base: Apply your foundation, concealer, or tinted moisturizer first, and set with a light layer of loose powder if you have oily skin (this helps the blush adhere better).
Apply with a Fluffy Brush: Swirl a small, fluffy blush brush (like Clinique’s Blush Brush or a similar synthetic brush) into the powder—tap off any excess to avoid over-application. Smile slightly to find the apples of your cheeks, then sweep the brush upward toward your temples in soft, circular motions.
Blend for Naturalness: Use a clean fluffy brush to blend the edges of the blush into your skin—this eliminates any harsh lines and ensures a seamless transition between the blush and your base. For a more lifted look, focus the pigment on the upper apples of your cheeks and blend upward.
Pro Tip: For a monochromatic look, dab a tiny amount of the blush onto your lips (over a clear lip balm) or eyelids (over a primer) to tie your makeup together—#05 NUDE POP’s soft tone works beautifully as a multi-tasking product.
