My daily make-up bag is minimal to say the least, but I have a few non-negotiables which always help me feel pulled together at the start of the day. A decent concealer to cover blemishes and dark circles and an eyebrow pencil to polish up my often unkempt brows are crucial but, most importantly, a brightening blusher is essential to reawaken my tired skin. Generally speaking, cream blushers are my weapon of choice—although there are some brilliant powder formulations available these days too—however over the last few months there’s been one in particular that I’ve had exclusively on rotation.
