The transition into warmer months brings blooms of colour, summer flings, and a whole new beauty aesthetic to match. It's the time of year when formulas get lighter and skin takes centre stage, with make-up becoming less about concealing and more about enhancing. If you've been sourcing new-season beauty inspiration, chances are you've already become acquainted with watercolour blush, a look that adds soft washes of colour to amplify your face's natural warmth and shape.
Oh, how I love blusher. Perhaps it's my inner romantic, but for me, the right rosy placement tells a story. Of a sun-drenched afternoon (sans sun damage), a caught-off-guard moment, a spark of flirtation. This year, we've all been in our feels, and blush is well and truly booming. Just look at Sabrina Carpenter, the poster girl for modern romance. And in a season where skin likes to breathe and glow, this skin-first blush moment feels more relevant than ever.
