Have you got colour in your cheeks? Yes, that is Arctic Monkeys “Do I Wanna Know?” (listen )
This song actually inspired me to write about my current favourite cheek products. But, and this will be a shock for regular readers, I have been neglecting blushes lately. Yes, really.
And here are the two products that I have been using religiously lately…
TrishMcEvoy Golden Bronzer and NYX Blush in Taupe.
Trish’s bronzer is probably my favourite out of all that I own. It is not too dark, too orange/muddy/shimmery/you name it. It warms up the complexion, and adds just the right amount of glow thanks to the delicate shimmer. Golden Bronzer looks amazing even on my light skin tone. Moreover, it is very finely milled, so blends beautifully and looks natural. Brilliant product. Maybe this will be the first ever bronzer that I use up?
You can buy Trish McEvoy from Selfridges, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.
NYX’s Taupe blush doesn’t need an introduction, I think. It’s definitely a cult product, and rightly so. Affordable product that helps to define the cheekbones and add dimension to the face? Count me in. It is not too cool-toned or ashy, so doesn’t look grey on the face. Instead, it creates a natural looking “shadows”.
You can buy NYX here.
But what about the highlighter, you may ask? Well, these days I am using this genius Clarins base or BECCA’s Pearl all over the face before the tinted moisturizer. Dull autumnal weather and the lack of sleep don’t help with a glowing complexion – so a girl gotta work on it, you know.
