DON'T LOOK NOW...YOU'RE BLUSHING
Girls' Life magazine|February/March 2023
Nothing screams spring right now more than a ridiculously pretty flush. Fortunately, for those of us not currently blushing over our latest crush (yet!), there are lots of fun, chic cheek trends to try.

DON'T LOOK NOW...YOU'RE BLUSHING

THE TREND: Sunburn Blush 

GET THE GLOW: Fake an l-just-got back-from-break flush with a cream formula that'll melt into the skin, suggests makeup artist Min Min Ma. "Use your fingers to dab it onto the apples and up your cheekbones, then take any excess onto the bridge of your nose and forehead, where the sun would naturally hit." Heart Hailey's glossy skin? Add some highlighter for a dewy glow.

TRY: Jane Iredale Glow Time Blush Stick in Fervor, $38, janeiredale.com

THE TREND: Draping 

GET THE GLOW: This groovy '70s look is back. Using a big, fluffy brush, begin your blush midway up your cheek, blending up and out toward the temple. Continue above your brow, stopping midway. If your final look is two C's that make your eyes pop, you've understood the assignment. Doing a monochromatic look? Connect the blush to the end of your eyeshadow, then blend up and around, says makeup artist Danessa Myricks. We suggest going all out with a fuchsia shade-Cher would be proud.

TRY: L.A. Colors Mineral Blush in Pink Du Jour, $6, walmart.com

THE TREND: Classic Coral
