Best Things in Beauty : Le Métier de Beauté Crème Fresh Tint in Poppy/Coquelicot.

the brightest shade of the 5 Crème Fresh Tints by Le Métier de Beauté is Poppy/Coquelicot. it's a medium neutral pink with fine pearl shimmer, a very basic shade. against my skintone it's a glowy cool toned pink.

just like the other Crème Fresh Tints this shade has a very soft consistency and it's unscented.

i apply it with my Hakuhodo G5552 small duo fiber brush, i find it easy to apply and blend evenly when i stipple it on and blend it slightly - so the balmy texture doesn't ever budge the foundation/concealer underneath.

even though it appears so glowy, it doesn't feel sticky or heavy on the skin but leaves it soft and nourished. i have quite oily skin but i find these CFT last surprisingly well on me, thanks to a soft staining effect the colour doesn't fade or melt off through the day although the initially rather cool toned pink does "warm up" a bit over the day when it merges with my foundation.

with this particular shade i like to dust the LMdB powder blush in Echo on top, a sheer pinky coral with gold duochrome sheen. i think this combo is just the most fresh and happy blush for spring/summer, it's complex, it's glowy and youthful (and even more long-wearing than each alone). if you have both, definitely try it!

on the lips, Poppy/Coquelicot is an easy-to-wear pink shade, i like it with a sheer shimmery peach gloss (for complexity) or clear lip balm on top.
