How To Create a Natural-Looking Blush Look

  1. An open foundation wand in gold packaging with a pump dispenser and a medium-brown-coloured body to show the shade of the foundation inside.

    Darlings, now that you’ve perfected your natural-looking blush, it’s time to complete the look! Charlotte recommends keeping the lips and eyes soft and sparkling to complement your gently pinched cheek makeup look.

    On the eyes, choose Eyes to Mesmerise cream eyeshadow in Pillow Talk, a shimmering pink that’s fresh from a daydream, and then apply Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! for a lift and lengthen effect!

    For the lips, use Lip Cheat to line and define your lip shape, then apply a gorgeous gloss to perfect your fresh-faced, naturally radiant look. Charlotte suggests applying her Pillow Talk Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk, Pillow Talk 2. Medium or Pillow Talk 3. Intense to fill in the lips, then a clear coat of Collagen Lip Bath plumping-effect lip gloss in Refresh Rose as a kissable combination that perfectly complements your natural-looking blush look!
