Our New Makeup Obsession Is Tie-Dye, Transformative, and Made to Be Seen

Remember Raf Simons’s first haute couture show for Dior in 2012? Among the designer’s memorable showstoppers for his debut at the fashion house: three evening dresses and a coat made of tie-dye print silks in hues of acid green or pink and inspired by the works of the L.A.-based contemporary artist Sterling Ruby. Now, that Dior motif, which has since turned up in various forms throughout Simons’s subsequent collections (see fall 2015’s sumptuous tie-dye furs), is being referenced in the maison’s new color-blocked blush palettes. Each compact has four shades that can be layered to give the impression that you’ve seen some post-winter sun recently—or to enhance the effects of an authentic bronze (lucky you). How to wear it? Makeup artist Daniel Martin says, “For day, a larger face brush will give a flush of color. For more punch in the evening, a standard blush brush will give you extra on the apples of the cheeks.” Sun, tie-dye, summer. Sold.
