FROM CONCEPT TO CREATION: BLISSFUL BLUSH

In this journal post, Monica Geuze, founder of SOPHIA MAE, and Manon Willemsen, Product Development Manager, share insights into the development of our latest creation and the launch of the SOPHIA MAE makeup collection: Blissful Blush. 

WHY DID SOPHIA MAE CHOOSE TO INTRODUCE MAKEUP TO THE COLLECTION?

The idea to add makeup to the SOPHIA MAE collection came from a deep passion. It felt like a natural next step to translate this passion into our very first makeup line.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO LAUNCH A BLUSH AS THE FIRST PRODUCT IN SOPHIA MAE'S MAKEUP COLLECTION?

Blush is a must-have product that can instantly bring your makeup look to life. It adds a fresh touch to your face and, in our opinion, is indispensable in every makeup collection. With blush, you can give your complexion that healthy, radiant glow that completes your look.

WHAT MAKES THE FORMULA OF BLISSFUL BLUSH UNIQUE?

Blissful Blush is a blush with a creamy formula that melts into the skin, blending effortlessly and leaving a silky finish. This long lasting blush formula is buildable, allowing you to adjust the color intensity to your liking—from a natural blush with a subtle glow to a bolder hue. Thanks to its creamy texture, SOPHIA MAE's Blissful Blush can be applied to your cheeks, lips and eyelids for a cohesive, monochromatic makeup look. 

CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS?

Creating the perfect cream blush was an intensive process that took over a year. We aimed to develop a formula that was easy to blend yet buildable. The SOPHIA MAE blush had to provide a natural glow without leaving a sticky feeling. After several rounds of sampling, we found the ideal balance of texture, pigment, and color. The packaging design was also a major focus. Ultimately, we chose a blush with mirror and matte ice blue packaging that, like almost all our packaging, has a matte finish.

WHAT COLORS ARE AVAILABLE?

Blissful Blush comes in two shades: Satin Rose and Burgundy Glow. While they may seem similar at first glance, the difference lies in their undertones. Satin Rose is a pink blush. This rosy blush features a cool, pink undertone, perfect for a fresh look. Burgundy Glow is a red blush and has a warm, reddish undertone, ideal for a sultry, sun-kissed appearance. Both shades are designed to create a natural glow, and blend seamlessly with a variety of skin tones, ensuring that everyone can find their perfect match.

HOW DO YOU CREATE THE BEST RESULTS USING THE BLISSFUL BLUSH?

Since Blissful Blush is a silky cream blush, you can apply it with various tools to achieve your desired effect. Use a makeup brush, a beauty blender, or simply your fingers to apply the blush.

IS BLISSFUL BLUSH SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

Yes, Blissful Blush is suitable for all skin types. Its creamy formula ensures that even dry skin achieves a healthy glow without the blush feeling heavy on the skin.
