Get dewy
Dewy skin = dreamy. So mix a little cream blush with some moisturser on the back of your hand then pat into the apples of your cheeks - it's our fave recipe for a glowy flush.
Matchy makeup
Repeat after me, 'colour co-ordination isn't cringey', here on the beauty desk we're all for matchy-matchy makeup. So boost your blush by taking it across your lids as an eyeshadow and pat into your pout for a DIY lip tint.
Go two-tone
Legendary makeup artist, Charlotte Tilbury, pioneered the 'swish & pop' technique specifically for applying blusher. But what does that mean? Simply use a two-tone blush and take the more subtle shade across your cheekbones, then add a pop of colour to the apples of the cheeks with a dusting of the brighter blush.
Highlight, highlight, highlight
The best way to enhance a feature? With sparkle. Yep, highlighting is guaranteed to draw attention to your rosy flush, so be sure to sweep a sheen-worthy highlighter over your cheekbones post-blusher.
Use a blush 'topper'
Wtf is blush topper you might ask? A multi-tonal, sheer blush with a metallic undertone (think, rose-gold and pearly silver), dust a little over your regular blusher to instantly amp it up and make your cheekbones appear 3D.
