Contoured Faces are Replaced With a Soft Flushed Blush

Tired of wearing neutral contour powders to accentuate your facial features? This season's hottest makeup trend is all about blushing cheeks that are peach, pink or a translucent hint of red.

Contoured Faces are Replaced With a Soft Flushed Blush

Let's face it: Cheek contouring has had its moment in the sun. This season, ditch the neutrals and change-up your look with blushing cheeks in soft hues of mauve, dusty pink or translucent red.

If you're feeling particularly adventurous or have a dark cool skin tone, we suggest that you explore blush colors with hints of lavender.

How to achieve the look: Use a soft round brush and apply your cheek color in small circular motions on the apple of your cheek to create a radiant glow. This youthful look beautifully finishes a nicely perfected brown, neutral eye and a complimentary lip color in tomato, berry or red.

Pro Tip: Try a cream or gel blush for a longer lasting glow during dry winter months. For a glow that seemingly radiates from within, apply a cream or gel blush over the foundation and then top with a dusting of translucent mineral powder.
