OU DON’T JUST FEEL AMAZING POST-WORKOUT; YOU
look it. And while nothing tops the glow that results from a
legit sweat session, you can recreate the rosiness. “Blush
brings life to your face,” says David Vincent, international
makeup artist for Lise Watier. “It’s one of the best ways to
make you look younger, healthier and more energized.”
If you’re fair, try a light pink blush. “It’s more complemen-
tary because it’s the closest natural colour that your cheeks
will appear when flushed,” he says. Juicy shades of warm
apricot and cool coral are best on medium skin tones, and dark skin can bask in
bold colours. “Try something with more red tones, like berry, if your skin has a
cool tone or orange if your skin is on the warm side,” says Vincent.
The rule for all skin tones: Even more important than where you apply blush
(the apples of the cheeks, please!) is how you apply blush. Invest in a blush brush
that has a domed, slightly f luffy tip, which will excel at dusting product all over
your skin. “If the hairs are too long or too stiff, you won’t achieve perfect results,”
says Vincent.
Next, allow the tops of your cheekbones to say hello to highlighter. Pearl and
champagne radiate best on fair skin, while light to deep gold shades enhance
medium to dark skin. “Blush and highlighter ma ke a perfect pair,” says Vincent. bh
