SIMIHAZE BEAUTY’s SUN FLUSH and VELVET BLUR lipstick
This brilliant All Over Face Tint Liquid Blush is a versatile product designed to instantly refresh both cheeks and eyes. It delivers a natural, watercolor effect, creating a radiant, flush-from-within glow that blends effortlessly.
Formulated to soothe and hydrate, SUN FLUSH ensures your skin feels as great as it looks. “We call it a healthy flush in a bottle. Apply it to your cheeks for a quick pop of color or on your eyes for a brightening effect,” say Simi & Haze Khadra, founders of SIMIHAZE BEAUTY. This multi-use tint is easy to apply with a brush, sponge, or fingertips, creating a cohesive look. Its blendable formula allows for shade mixing to achieve a personalized finish. Pro-tip? You can combine two or more of the five shades—Sand, Soft, Baby, Blaze, or Peach—for added depth. While Blaze will intensify the color, Sand or Soft will soften it.
SUN FLUSH is made from 70% renewable materials, highlighting the brand's commitment to eco-conscious beauty.
To keep the warm effect going on, pursue your make-up look with the VELVET BLUR, a revolutionary matte lipstick-balm hybrid that reinvents traditional lip products. Combining rich pigmentation with balm-like hydration, VELVET BLUR offers a modern twist on classic lip color. The weightless, moisture-infused matte formula feels light and lasts up to 12 hours, while the custom dome-shaped tip ensures easy, on-the-go application.
Simi and Haze declared: "this is our dream lipstick. We wanted a matte lip that hydrates like a balm and is light enough for everyday wear. We never leave home without it.»
For full coverage, glide the domed tip directly across your lips, or tap VELVET BLUR with your fingertip for a soft, blurred effect. This lipstick is designed to deliver the perfect finish for any look.
