Morphology

bake + blush

The phrase is directly compositional: 'baked' describes a blush that has been produced by a baking process, so a learner who knows 'bake' and 'blush' can infer it is a type of blush made by heating pigments. The formation (past-participle adjective + noun) and the literal relation to production make the meaning predictable and accessible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Baked blush gets its name from the way the color is literally baked on clay tiles to make the little powder blush: liquid pigments are heated until they dry into a smooth, marble-like powder. That's why this product is 'long-lasting' and 'vibrant' and is used to 'color the cheeks'.
