When I worked for Bobbi Brown one of our most used colours was Pale Pink. Think about it, when you get flushed when you exercise or blush when you bump into that cute guy, what colour do your cheeks go? Certainly not brown! And don’t we want to look like we haven’t spent hours in front of the bathroom mirror, that we actually woke up looking like this? (Thanks Queen Bey) Instead I see women with a tonne of bronzer on their cheeks and what seems like even more highlighter… that’s it… Why I ask? (Please see my previous post, Please make this makeup craze stop).Īs a makeup artist I often have to assure clients when I pick up a pink or coral blush that it is going to settle, it is going to look pretty and most importantly it’s going to look natural – not like brown dirt on their face! Women are so afraid of blush it seems, yet I’m telling you it’s so important to give your face balance and dimension when having photos on your wedding day or a night out and a soft flush of pink can actually look very natural. But why does it seem that so many women are afraid of using blush today? In an era where women are getting brows tattooed, fillers in their lips (blah! future post to come on this) and contouring is all the rage, a soft flush of colour on the cheek almost seems obsolete. Ladies, gone are the days of the 80s makeup trends of bright blue eyeshadow and strong coloured blush almost striped across the cheeks.
