Blush

Buy blush at Skins

A blush is a make-up product used to add colour to the cheeks and give the face a healthy glow. It comes in different colour shades and formulas, from powders to liquid cream blush. At Skins, you will find the finest collection of niche brands of blush, which can be used to bring out the natural glow of the cheeks. Think Westman Atelier blush buy, a NARS blush or just a more subtle Laura Mercier blush. We have a blush for every complexion, whether you're going for a no makeup look or just a more dramatic effect.

What types of blush are there?

There are different types of blush on the market, including matte, satin and glossy finishes. Matte blushes have no shine and are ideal for a natural, everyday look. Also, if you have a more oily, shiny complexion quickly, buying a matte blush is recommended. Satin blushes have a subtle shimmer and give cheeks a healthy glow. Glossy blushes have a high shimmer and can be used to create a statement look. Also in summer, a shimmery blush is very pretty on sun-tanned skin.

There are also blushes with different undertones, such as pink, peach, coral and red. Cool pink blushes are suitable for blue undertones, while peach and coral are generally prettier for warmer undertones. Buying red blush is ideal for creating a striking look, but it is advisable here to build up in subtle layers.

Which blush brands are best?

At Skins, we offer a wide choice of different types of blush. For example, how about a Westman Atelier blush? Westman's products have perfect shades and buttery textures that melt into the skin. The gorgeous packaging is pleasing to the eye and is combined with plant-based ingredients and cutting-edge science. Founder Gucci Westman almost always works in dabbing motions with her fingers for a natural look.

With Laura Mercier blush, go for an unmade look: the world-renowned make-up artist is known for her 'flawless face'. Laura Mercier make-up is always subtle and brings out the best in your face. Blush by Laura Mercier has a silky texture and is easy to build up. Or go for the iconic NARS blush 'Orgasm': the hugely popular, peach-coloured blush containing a gorgeous, golden shimmer. The colour of this blush suits almost everyone, is beautifully buildable and gives a sunkissed look.

How best to apply blush

First of all, it is important to choose the right shade and formula for your skin type and experiment with different techniques to achieve the desired look. At the boutique, our Skins Experts can give you in-depth advice on blush buying. Applying blush also depends on using tools like a good blush brush. Look at the shape of your face: if you already have a slightly rounder shape or fuller cheeks, it may be nice to apply the blush a bit more in the sides of the face.

For a lifting effect, wear blush a little higher on the cheekbones and for more volume, apply the blush to the apples of the cheeks. Build up the colour of your blush as desired, using a good brush. With a cream blush, you can dab the product into the skin with your fingers.
