Eye makeup and lipstick get all the press, but – as shown on Helena Christensen in British InStyle – the perfect shade of blush can make just as much impact. Sometimes that fresh, pretty glow is all you need. Here, 3 makeup-artist secrets for getting it right:
- Go for a sheer formula that’s easy to blend and imparts a sheer, dewy finish.
- With a big, fluffy brush or fan brush, blend the color in a swirling motion across the apples of your cheeks. (Avoid placing blush too close to your eye or right underneath it).
- Choose a slightly brighter shade than you think you need, unless you already have naturally high color in your skin. A hint of a vivid blush tends to be far more flattering than any neutral, tawny shade and gives you a genuine-looking, sexy flush.
Personally, I swear by Motives Pressed Blush in Runway ($13.50 at motivescosmetics.com). Has anyone else tried this product? What do you think?

I love these new blushes! I have them all and mix to match all the time. Personally, don’t know what I did without them before!
