If you’re new to blush, it can be a tricky product to master at first. Too much and you look like Aunt Sally from Wurzel, too little and you don’t get that youthful, radiant “I’ve just done yoga in a Cornish meadow” effect.
Enter Max Factor’s new Creme Puff Blush, a finely-milled, multi-tonal formula that offers a natural looking flush you can build up if required.
Take it from us: it’s a miracle for washed-out, flat skin. Plus it’s a proper bargain at just €11.49.
Here are three ways to use it:
- Make like the models at Roberto Cavalli 15 and wear it buffed just below your cheekbone so its light-reflecting pigments create the impression of a more sculpted bone structure.
- For a youthful glow, sweep one of the gorgeous pink shades onto the apples of your cheeks (the part that lifts up when you smile).
- Once you’re comfortable you’ve found the correct shade for your skin tone, try this trick by Max Factor Global Creative Design Director Pat McGrath: “Using a brush, apply your blush in a circular motion to the prominent features of your face, building the colour across the cheekbones, brow bones and along the neck. The result is a luxurious, halo-type glow.”
