There are a few essentials I absolutely love in my makeup routine. Slicked and filled-in brows, glossy lips, and a luminous, healthy-looking foundation are a few. And while sometimes I can go a day without wearing one of those, there's one thing I won't skip: blush. Not only can a good cheek rouge add a pop of color to the face, but it can also shape and add dimension, especially when you choose the right shade. This is why I’ve found myself myself gravitating toward brown blush more often.
“Using brown blush is all about enhancing your natural warmth, adding subtle dimension, and sometimes even replacing bronzer or contour altogether,” senior artist for M.A.C. Cosmetics, Deney Adam, tells me. “It’s a shade that’s been trending because it aligns perfectly with today's major beauty moments. Think natural glam, latté makeup, and minimalist, sun-kissed skin.”
