Blush is essential for everyday makeup for highlighting our skin to give us a radiant glow. With a few swipes, it can brighten your complexion – making you look healthier and more youthful. While pinks have been a go-to, we’ve fallen in love with purple hues! Purple blush can give you a really pretty flushed effect and help brighten dull skin.

How To Apply
Once you’ve found the perfect shade to complement your skin, the next step is the perfect application. As always, for blush, it’s best to start with a small amount on the apple of your cheek and continue to build it up using circular motions with your brush.
For a more natural look, cream or liquid blushes are the routes to go since they are easier to apply and diffuse the pigment.
Purple blush may just be a trend but like all makeup, it’s fun to experiment and play! Let us know your thoughts and if you’ve tried purple blush.
