Elevate your look with these chic cheek complexion boosters
The product
There's absolutely no question about it, when it comes to cheek products, we're completely blush/bronzer blind. And TBH, we're totally okay with that. Especially when we come across a range of products that make our faces look completely flawless and beautifully flatter our skin tones. Because honestly, sometimes trying to find a blush and bronzer to actually match your undertones (IYKYK) can be a battle.
Yep, we're talking snatched cheekbones and Sabrina Carpenter-level rouged cheeks. And it's all thanks to these two new chic cheek-amplifying products from Napoleon Perdis.
Making your cheekbones pop is a total skill and while we're not always aiming for a fully contoured beat, we do want a little something to give our face some serious definition. Enter: Napoleon Perdis Bronze Icon Matte. The argan kernal oil-rich matte bronzer seamlessly melts into your skin, offering up a natural-yet-snatched buildable sun kissed bronzed look. And honestly, who doesn't want to look sun kissed?
There's no denying it, blush is having a major moment. Every time you open TikTok there's a brand new trend to try out. And trust us, we have. And there's no better trend-testing partner-in-crime than the Napoleon Perdis Blush Patrol Matte. Now when you read matte we're sure you had the same dewy skin-loving reaction that we did. But we promise, with vitamin E and jojoba seed oil in the powder's mix, your skin will still be seeing major radiant benefits. Plus, it packs a pigmented punch so a little goes a long way.
So, let's see what our REVIEWcrew members had to say about the skin-perfecting duo...
The panel
BEAUTYcrew sent the Napoleon Perdis Bronze Icon Matte and the Napoleon Perdis Blush Patrol Matte to a panel of blush and bronzer-wearing women aged 18-44 with varying skin types, tones and textures along with differing levels of makeup application skill.
The lowdown
The silky texture, feel and finish of the formulas: Look, maybe we're fussy, call us beauty snobs, but we can't stand when the feel of a product is off. Yep, it really matters okay. And it turns out, we're not alone. Because 100 per cent, yep read it again, 100 per cent of our REVIEWcrew members also agreed with us, saying that the Napoleon Perdis products' textures, along with the feel on their skin and of course the skin-finish of these formulas were unbeatable.
The serious staying power: If you've ever been done dirty by the 2pm mirror (read: makeup missing in action) then you've got to get your hands on this duo. Our members couldn't stop raving about just how long their makeup lasted when wearing this duo.
The ultra-pigmented punch: Honestly, there's nothing worse than getting a brand new product home, excited to use it only to find out that the pigment behind the pretty shade just doesn't live up to expectations. Thankfully our REVIEWcrew members have officially co-signed off on the amazing amount of pigment these two products have. And the best part about them? They're totally buildable to your desired level of glam.

Emma Allcock began her career in the world of fashion and beauty in 2015, interning for various PR fashion houses. Naturally her love for style soon extended to beauty, and Emma landed firmly in the beauty and wellness world thanks to an internship-turned-role at local Australian fragrance brand Maison Blanche. One thing that remained consistent whether unpacking accessories or creating social content? Her commitment to an always-perfect manicure. Luckily, she’s since turned her talents to helping her readers achieve the same, writing about all things beauty and wellness. Emma is now a Content Producer for BEAUTYcrew, with her words and recommendations also appearing across beautyheaven. Emma loves the process of diving deep into the world of testing (and writing) about everything from haircare to fragrance. When she’s not slathering her skin in something new, she’s going for an early morning stroll to catch a stunning sunrise (coffee in hand, of course), because life’s all about that wellness balance after all.
