Estée Lauder Courrèges Estée Lauder Lip + Cheek Ball in Ultra Pink

Whether the inspiration was a cowgirl from Dallas (Ralph Lauren); the ruddy, wind-whipped cheeks often seen in Bruce Weber photos (Topshop Unique); or a bella ragazza sensuale (Giorgio Armani), blush was a big part of the equation for Fall ’15. “It’s a revolution!” laughed Linda Cantello backstage of coral color dabbed high on models’ faces at Armani. “It’s a celebration of Italian glamour.” And it appears that women are taking note—according to WWD, blush sales are up by 3 percent in the prestige category. Here, we round up our favorite pots, pods, and portable sticks that can be dabbed across apples as well as your lips for that fresh-from-a-romp-in-the-sheets rosy glow.
