How I Perfected a Flushed Makeup Look for That Natural Glow

I’ve always envied the effortless, flushed makeup look you see on celebs. You know, the one where they look like they’ve just stepped out of a brisk morning walk with a rosy glow? I used to think it required an army of makeup artists, but after some experimenting, I finally nailed it—and now it’s my go-to daily look!

The key to achieving this look is layering the right products to enhance your skin’s natural warmth. I start with Glossier’s Cloud Paint in Puff, a soft pink cream blush that blends seamlessly into the skin. I dab it lightly on my cheeks and nose, mimicking where I naturally flush after sun exposure.

Next, I add a subtle highlighter like Rare Beauty’s Liquid Luminizer to the high points of my face—cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and brow bone—to catch the light without looking too shiny. This step makes all the difference!

For my lips, I use Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Lipstick and Liner Set, which has a soft pink finish without being too bold. It’s the perfect complement to my flushed cheeks.

If you’ve been wanting that natural, lit-from-within glow, trust me—this combo will become your best friend!
