“For deeper complexions, a plum tone is beautiful,” says Andrewartha. If you’re after a natural look, you want a shade that closely matches the hue you go when you’re actually blushing. “Blush is about creating your inner glow,” explains Ross Andrewartha, YSL Beauty Director of Artistry Australia. Good thing we spoke to the pros to find out everything you need to know about blush, including how to apply blush step by step for the perfect blush application. But it’s also a step that can go horribly wrong - apply it in the wrong place or fail to pick the right shade for your skin tone and you can really make a mess of your makeup. It’s the secret to making skin look ‘real’ and healthy with its natural flush of colour. The humble blush really is an underrated hero in our makeup kits.
