Blushes are the most underrated makeup piece of life. But, today, I'm going to tell you about the blush shade that you have to own just because I am probably 95% sure that it will look good on you. No matter your skin color. It is the blush for the season.
I'm a huge makeup hoarder/enthusiast and, when I say I'm going makeup "window-shopping", I mean I'm going makeup "obsessing until I can save up and I might probably lose some sleep until the day I get the makeup that I want-shopping". It's probably unhealthy (at least by my mom's standards) but I don't care because I found the love of my cheeks whilst doing it. I am talking about the most beautiful purple/mauve blush in the world.
The reason why I think this shade is perfect for the season is because it is cool toned which ties in perfectly with the cool weather and black outfits that we tend to lean towards even more during the Winter months (and whilst the weather is cold, to be honest). The magical thing about this shade, though, is that it makes you appear like you spent the weekend on a tropical island with your face straight to the sun. Pair it with a soft contour or some bronzer to add warmth. I recently bought the shade Indecent Proposal by bareMinerals but, here's other options that cater to all your mauve-y blush needs:
+ Sin by NARS
+ Rapture by Urban Decay
+ Mood Exposure by Hourglass
The way to make these work is to be careful with the amount you apply. A light hand will work best if you're new to blush or if you have a very light/pale complexion. Go heavy handed if you know how to handle your blush, have an on-point blending game or even if you have a dark/tan complexion. It's that easy.
Have you tried these shades before? What do you think?
