How to choose
Blush, bronzer and highlighter add colour, warmth and light to your face in seconds. Here you’ll find them from Mii Cosmetics, Make Up For Ever, Paul & Joe and Institut Esthederm.
How to choose:
- Blush gives your cheeks a fresh, healthy flush. A powder stays put on normal to oily skin, while a cream, gel or liquid blush melts beautifully into dry skin.
- Bronzer adds warmth and depth, as if you’ve just come back from holiday. A sculpt or contour powder lets you define your face shape.
- Highlighter brings light to your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and your Cupid’s bow.
Want it all in 1? Choose a palette such as the HD Skin blush & glow palette. A good brush makes all the difference: see the make-up brushes.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Where do I apply blush?
On the apples of your cheeks, blending up towards your temples for a lifted look. Smile slightly if you are not sure where the apples of your cheeks are.
Where do I apply bronzer?
Where the sun naturally hits your face: forehead, temples, nose and jawline. Use a large, soft brush and build up slowly, as too much is hard to correct.
Where do I apply highlighter?
On the high points of your face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, brow bone and Cupid’s bow. A fan brush or your fingertip gives a subtle effect.
