Get the Look: Flushed Cheeks

Prep your base before you head straight to blush. We like Avene High Protection Tinted Compact SPF50 for light yet flawless coverage that protects from sun damage. Spiked with skin-nourishing vitamin E for potent antioxidant protection and the signature Avene thermal spring water to hydrate, its perfect for all skin types - especially ultra-sensitive skin. Hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and paraben free? This compact ticks every box for good skin and a good base with every application.

The key to a great flushed cheek is to blend seamlessly so that you blush looks as if nature intended. The trick is to apply with your fingers and buff gently with a blending brush to create an ultra diffused soft finish that looks romantically au naturale - think ‘just bumped into my crush’ rather than ‘hot flush’. Our pick? Jane Iredale’s Blending/Contour Brush is a great multitasker and totally cruelty free. The ultra soft angled bristles help provide greater creative control over the finish, too.

Reveal a flawless complexion with the Dermablend Quick Fix Concealer Stick with SPF 30; a full coverage formula that is suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types. Arriving in a precise stick form, the concealer allows for targeted application and is ideal for touch-ups whilst on-the-go. Enriched with an array of high-performance pigments, the creamy concealer effortlessly glides onto skin and delivers full coverage without leaving a cakey finish. The concealer is able to effectively cover blemishes, age sports and dark circles, as well as the most difficult and stubborn imperfections.
