I love a multi-use stick blush for most days. When I came across an EWG verified brand, I had to try it. Would this clean multi-use cream blush be my new favorite. Read on for my full review of Well People's Supernatural Stick.
Even when I don't put on a full face of makeup, I typically swipe my brows with brow gel and dab a little cream blush on my cheeks over my favorite tinted SPF. So a clean multi-stick blush is always in my makeup bag. I have a go-to brand, but I saw Well People's multi-stick go on sale, so I had to try one. Would it replace my favorite brand? Here's the scoop!

Why You Need a Clean Blush
Any gal will tell you that blush is a much-needed wake-up for the face, making the difference between looking tired and dull or awake and vibrant. Even the subtlest hint of color is life-giving for a tired mama's face.
However, many conventional blushes contain ingredients that could potentially be harmful, including:
- Talc - has a risk of contamination with asbestos, and has been linked to ovarian cancer
- Parabens - commonly used in many personal care products and easily absorbed by the body, parabens are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) linked to breast cancer, thyroid problems, obesity, reproductive problems in both males and females, and early onset of puberty in girls.
- Lake Dyes - Color additives made by reacting pigment with chemical substrates (usually aluminum). Some of the lake dyes may be derived from naturally occurring plant or animal ingredients but the vast majority are synthetically produced from coal tar or petroleum, and may be carcinogenic.
- Phenoxyethanol - Also called Ethylene glycol monophenyl ether (EGPE), is a common chemical and solvent used in industry and in consumer goods. It has shown developmental and reproductive toxicity, and may contain residual ethylene oxide, a known carcinogen.
- BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene) - a chemical preservative commonly used in cosmetics and food that has been associated with endocrine disruption.

Experience: 8/10
The simple tube is easy to use, and the product swipes on easily. I will say the formula is a little stickier than expected and tends to attract a lot of lint from the air. But overall, good experience.
Performance: 9/10
The color is pretty, lasts nicely and my skin doesn't feel the least bit dry, irritated, or greasy. No signs of clogged pores or extra breakouts, either.
Value: 7/10
The price is about the same as most comparable clean products, however, it seems like it doesn't last quite as long as others.
Overall: 8.5/10
