Zayn, Nick, Drake and Harry are the names of Lottie London's new Blush Crush Powder Blusher cosmetics, each of which represents a well-known heartthrob from the music industry, including the members of boy bands like One Direction and the Jonas Brothers, as well as standalone artists.

The blendable, [highly pigmented powder blushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-liquid-blush) are offered in a range of shades that are packaged, branded and priced to appeal to young cosmetic users of Generation Z. While Millennials may identify a shade like 'Justin' as a throwback to their love of NSYNC, younger music fans will see the product as a tribute to Justin Bieber.

The new powder blush products are exclusively available online through [Ulta Beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teencentric-makeup-line), making it enticing to collect as many of the affordable makeup shades as possible with a single purchase.
