Rose gold glow


Try putting a new twist on the traditional rosy glow with a combination of pink hues and golden tones. Grab a blusher duo and swirl your blusher brush across both colours, then apply to your cheekbones where the light would naturally hit your face. Oh hey, gorgeous!

Pop of pink


Get in the pink! Grab a cream blusher and get to work building up that beautiful colour, starting at the high points of your cheeks. Don’t be afraid of the shade – if you accidentally pack on too much colour it’s easily fixed. Simply blend away any excess with your foundation sponge, or tone it down with translucent powder and a big fluffy brush.
