Due to the cornucopia of cheekbone-sculpting kits on the market, rose-colored swirls of blush along the high points of our cheeks became somewhat neglected in our daily beauty routine. It’s outdated, some will argue, while others will implore that it’s counter-productive after spending ten minutes concealing any signs of discoloration or redness. This is simply not true, the best blush formulas can visibly lift your features and pull together your entire beauty look.
Whether it is a powder, cream, or a stain formula, blush can be one of the handiest tools in your makeup kit and is worth incorporating into more than just your spring makeup routine. Swirl a rose-colored blush on the apples of the cheeks for a natural burst of color that instantly freshens up your features, or dab on a glimmering, cream blush before your foundation application for a lit from within glow. Those who aren’t quite ready to part with contouring can sweep a wash of color across the hollows of their cheeks for subtle definition.
