Tarte expands its blush lineup with the Macaron Blush & Glow Duo, a two-step color system designed to build customizable cheek color through a cream formula paired with a radiant powder. The product presents itself as a compact “treat,” with each component formulated for controlled application and flexible wear.
BLUSHES
The cream blush sets the first layer of color, which users can tap onto the Tarte blend bar to diffuse before applying. Once placed along the cheekbones or across the nose, the cream establishes the base for the radiant powder. The powder adds lift and glow across the cheeks and high points of the face, functioning as either a soft finish or a more defined layer when stacked over the cream.
The formulas draw on a group of skincare-focused ingredients that target hydration, texture, and longevity. Peptides help reduce the look of fine lines, while hyaluronic acid adds moisture for a firmer and more supple appearance. Maracuja oil brings essential fatty acids and vitamin C to support smoother and brighter-looking skin. Amazonian clay contributes to longer wear and more consistent color payoff, and diamond powder gives a diffused effect that helps blur imperfections. The blushes remain vegan and cruelty-free and avoid a long list of common cosmetic additives, from formaldehydes to mineral oil and retinyl palmitate.
The Macaron Blush & Glow Duo comes in shades such as Honey Blossom, Peach, Toasted Coconut, Rosy Beige, Strawberry Bliss, Pink Champagne, Birthday Cake, and Red Velvet. Each shade offers a pairing of cream color and radiant powder that can be worn individually or stacked. This structure positions the duo as both a single-step blush and a two-step glow system, depending on preference.
Tarte positions the Macaron Blush & Glow Duo as a way to achieve color that feels soft, adjustable, and skin-friendly without drifting toward a heavy finish. The structure aligns with the brand’s broader focus on color products that function as makeup and skincare hybrids.
Retailing at $38, the Macaron Blush & Glow Duo holds its place within Tarte’s color portfolio as a customizable system built around ingredient-forward formulas and intuitive application. The shade range covers warm, neutral, and bright tones, giving users room to choose the level of color impact they want.
