Time To Brush Up On Blush

BEAUTY

BY LUCY ADAMS

Walk into any beauty store today and you’ll be confronted with an array of gels, creams and powders in every shade of pink from light to taupe. Blush is back – in a big way. This is welcome news for those of us whose prevailing skin tone is ‘tired-looking’ and who struggled to master the bronzed, chiselled ‘Kardashian’ look that’s dominated social media (and life) for the past few years.

“Blush is receiving a lot more love across all demographics and the trend is definitely saying, the more blush, the merrier.”

– Charlotte Knight, CEO and founder of Ciate London, Lottie London and Skin Proud

According to Knight, blush completes a make-up look “by adding warmth to the complexion and a healthy, natural glow,” particularly if you’re wearing full-coverage foundation that’s designed to mute your natural colouring. It’s also an essential tool in your make-up kit as you age, thanks to skin losing its pink pigment over time.

“The cheeks of a child have a natural flush of colour that gives them a youthful appearance. Blush mimics that youthful complexion while sculpting the face as well.”

– Charlotte Ravet, ByTerry make-up artist
