A SUN-KISSED FLUSH

Complement fashion’s bright, bold summer colours with blush in berry tones. Here are our top picks.

Complement fashion’s bright, bold summer colours with blush in berry tones.

Pops of fuchsia, orange and turquoise are often the mainstays of summer looks. Instead of pairing them with Lolita pinks or sunny corals, opt for duskier, deeper pinks or berry tones for a more modern take. Our faves? Raspberry and rose hues that instantly add warmth.

How To Wear It

Apply along the cheekbones, sweeping up towards the hairline and temples, to create a lifted look, or apply it directly on the apples for a more youthful vibe.

What Works Best

Liquid blush is great for all-day wear as it’s quite budge-proof. Cream ones can be worked into skin to give that lit-from-within flush, though they tend to fade fast. Powder gives a more polished finish.
