While some people find that their mascara flakes away or their foundations separate, for me, it was my blush that kept pulling a disappearing act. That is until I started layering two formulas together - now my cheeks are eternally rosy.
As far as my makeup routine goes, blush is a non-negotiable step. I could write an essay about the merits of the cheek pigment if given half the chance and complimenting my use of any of the best blushers, is a guaranteed way to win my favour. Alas though, like with any good love story, blush has not always reciprocated my affection. As someone with fairly dry skin, I've avoided powder formulas for years, for fear of them absorbing any much-needed hydration but found that my best liquid blushes and favoured cream formulas had their own drawbacks. Just a few hours of wear, for instance, would see them melt away into the makeup void or worse still, separate and cling to those offending dry patches.
Now though, I've cracked the code to longevity with the help of not one but two blushes - and along with sharing my favourite new combo, have quizzed the pros for other blush-related solutions...
