How Did I Ever Underestimate The Importance Of Blusher?


For the longest time I steered far away from using blush, I've always used bronzer, but I didn't understand why anyone would want to look hot, flustered and flushed.

I truly underestimated the transformative power of blush and the difference it can make to the skin, taking dull, lifeless flat skin and turning it into a luminous fresh youthful base. Your face looks healthier, plumper and more glowing.

Blusher is in fact a sort of beauty SOS saviour, as it is ever so forgiving, helping banish signs of late nights, hangovers or just bad skin days. All are disguised with a pop of blush on the apples of the cheek. When used correctly it adds subtle contours and colouring to the skin.

The trick is all in the application and choosing a flattering shade, to avoid, what makeup artist extraordinaire Charlotte Tilbury describes as 'looking like Aunt Sally'



To apply use a soft bristled brush, smile and place the brush directly onto the apple of the skin and apply in circular motions gently sweeping upwards towards the top of the cheekbones. Cream blush is generally applied best with fingers.

A little pop of blush on the apple of the cheeks really can enliven the face and take a flat, ashy complexion and transform it into a healthy perky glow.
