Blush Is Back: 10 Reasons to Give Your Contouring Kit a Rest

Between the recent deluge of cheekbone-enhancing makeup kits and a certain famous family’s affinity for Kontouring, we’ve lately come to somewhat neglect the cheeks themselves. This season, however, we’re sensing a shift back to blush—a topic that Lynn Yaeger writes about at length in the October issue of Vogue.

Blush, however, doesn’t have to mean pink cheeks worthy of a Madame Alexander doll or the dramatic fuchsia streaks at Chanel’s most recent couture show. As the formulas in the above slideshow prove, whether powder or cream, stick or stain, it’s one of the most versatile tools in your makeup bag. Dust blush on high points of the cheek for a fresh flush that visually lifts the face, apply a subtle wash of color all over apples, sweep alongside the hollows of the cheekbones for a sculpted look, or heed the advice of makeup artist Benjamin Puckey and dab on a cream blush before applying foundation and powder for a gorgeous, natural glow.
